Ever finished a garment from a pattern and it just didn't fit quite right? In this hands-on demonstration, the head pattern maker of CUT/SEW will walk students through the process of adjusting patterns at their most basic level for common fit issues. Learn how to take in, let out, lengthen, and shorten patterns, plus learn hacks and techniques for adding or removing bulk from pesky areas that cause common fit issues like the shoulders, bust, inseam, and more.

In this workshop you'll learn:

How to transfer a commercial pattern to paper to allow for adjustments
Which areas of patterns correspond to common fit issues
How to take in and let out patterns
How to lengthen and shorten patterns
How to add or remove bulk from the middle of patterns
