Just can't find quite the right sewing pattern for that garment you've been dreaming of making? In this three part class we'll cover the basics of how to alter paper patterns to change seam lines, move darts, and play with silhouette and style, all while making sure the pieces all still fit together. This class focuses on learning the fundamentals of manipulating paper patterns, rather than fit or sewing construction. Students will leave with the skills they need to effectively alter store-bought paper patterns and fulfill their fashion dreams!

Limited to 6 participants. Requires 3 participants to run. In the event of cancellation due to low enrollment, registered participants will receive notice and a refund 3 days prior to the scheduled start date of the series.
