SPECIAL REQUEST WORKSHOP

Prerequisite is Fit.


 

 

 

Sewing Ultrasuede
$16.95

Come sew an Ultrasuede garment of your choice.  Marta holds your hand so you cut with confidence, and save fabric at the same time.  She will help you fit, fuse, and line totally by machine.  See Marta's extensive wardrobe of garments and accessories made from Ultrasuede, Ultrasuede Light and Ultra-leather. Fabric Depot has a wide range of these fabrics in interesting colors and prints.

Pati Palmer and Marta Alto invented Ultrasuede techniques.  Pati gave the first Ultrasuede seminar in the U.S. at the Meier & Frank department store in 1971.  Marta built a custom sewing business in the '70s on Ultrasuede and silk garments.  Marta and Pati then co-authored the book Sewing Ultrasuede Fabrics.

A special session may be arranged with Marta Alto by a group of at least 8 students. Contact her at Martasews@aol.com or 503.297.1519.
