FIT We teach the most practical, logical and useful fit methods on the
planet! We do hands-on fitting and continue to be innovative and fine-tune our skills. We teach what works best and do very little measuring because measuring does not tell you all you need to know about the body you are fitting. Learning to fit yourself and others is a process. It is a constant challenge because, as fashion changes, you need to decide the best approach to alterations for each new design. 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 fit the shirtdress from McCall’s 2718 and then your own fashion patterns.

PANT
FIT & SEWING There is more to fitting pants than measuring. We have developed the “try-on” method which will save you time. You will try on a basic fitted pant (we have already made up all nine sizes) and then analyse your body shape and determine alterations. Learn how to tissue fit and alter patterns to your figure. Cut out and pin fit to fine tune your alterations and then learn to sew any style pant including a trouser, jeans and pull-on pants. We’ll show you how to sew a variety of details including pockets, pleats, zippers and waistbands. We include the very popular Palmer/Pletsch basic pant, trouser and jean pattern -- McCalls 9233. This will equip you with the skill to sew any pattern design you choose and make it fit.
Tailoring a jacket requires the highest skill level of all. All your sewing will improve after you learn to tailor. This workshop starts with a “fit check." You will learn cutting and marking accuracy, interfacings and proper fusing, fit, shoulder and chest shaping, shaped darts, careful trimming and quality pressing, sleeve heads, bound buttonholes, pockets, linings and perfect hems. ¨
