About This Class

Very few sewists can sew a garment straight from the pattern envelope and achieve a perfect fit — but the good news is that most fitting issues can be solved with a handful of approachable adjustments. In this empowering workshop, you’ll learn how to understand your body’s unique shape, evaluate patterns more effectively, and make informed choices that lead to better‑fitting garments.

What We’ll Cover

This class introduces the fundamentals of garment fitting so you can sew with confidence rather than frustration. We’ll explore:

  • Identifying your personal figure features and choosing flattering silhouettes
  • Why body measurements matter more than pattern sizes
  • Understanding wearing ease and design ease
  • Choosing patterns that work well for your body and sewing goals
  • Common pattern adjustments (FBA/SBA, length/width changes, bicep adjustments, and more)
  • Using tracing paper and drafting tools to preserve original patterns
  • The purpose and value of sewing a muslin before cutting into fashion fabric

Whether you're new to garment fitting or looking to strengthen your foundation, this class will help you develop the skills to create clothing that fits comfortably and looks great.
