Pattern Hacking for Curves
Want to learn how pattern designers create multiple styles from one base pattern? Dream of taking a well-fitting pattern and using it to create other garments that you know will fit you? This class teaches you the secrets of how pattern designers adapt a simple pattern to create lots of different styles. Endlessly altering patterns to fit your curves can be frustrating, but using this technique you only have to make your base pattern fit once—and then every variation you create will fit you!
Working with the Cashmerette Springfield Top (sizes 12-32), a simple woven tank designed for curves, you'll learn how to draft and sew 10 completely new garments: button-front blouses, cross-over backs, keyhole tops, V-necks, princess seams, collared tops, ruffled hems, cap sleeves, swing knit tanks, and trapeze dresses. The techniques you learn can be applied to any sewing pattern, not just the Springfield Top, so the patterns you already own suddenly have so much more potential!
The Springfield Top is available to purchase separately. This class can also be taken with any simple woven darted top of your choice.
