FIT We do hands-on tissue fitting and teach the method that works best. You do very little measuring, because measuring does not tell you all you need to know about your body. Learning to fit yourself and others is a process. Our ongoing fit programme will help you MASTER FIT! You will go home with your own personal body map and the ability to alter ANY fashion pattern. Try on our fitting shells to find your correct size and bra cup size. Then use the Palmer/Pletsch classic fit pattern, McCalls 2718 to achieve your own body map. To introduce you to fashion fit you will then fit a
varied selection of your own fashion patterns. FIT
& SEW KNITS Sewing with knit fabrics today is not just quick and easy; it’s very, very fashionable! From casual to formal wear knit fabrics rule, but all the old ‘rules’ don’t. Take all the best ideas from ready-to-wear to couture sewing and incorporate these fitting and sewing techniques into your knit-wear. Every garment from the T-shirt to the draped dress should fit and suit your individual body and style and individual, made-to-measure knit-wear will extend your wardrobe possibilities and style.

PANT
FIT & SEWING There is more to fitting pants than measuring. You will try on a basic fitted pant (we have already made up all nine sizes) and then analyse your body shape and personal alterations. You will learn how to tissue fit and alter patterns to your figure, then cut out and pin fit, in fashion fabric, to fine tune your alterations. You will learn to fit and sew any style pant and we’ll show you how to sew a variety of details including pockets, pleats, zippers and waistbands. We include the Palmer/Pletsch basic pant and trouser pattern – McCall’s M5239. This Workshop will equip you with the skill to sew any pattern design you choose and make it fit.
