Course Detail: AEXP-119 - PATTERN ADAPTATION AND GARMENT CONSTRUCTION

From "Standard Fit" to "Your Perfect Fit" in 6 Sessions.

Most sewing patterns are designed for a "standard" body type that doesn't actually exist. This course is designed for advanced beginners who are ready to stop settling for "close enough." Over two months, you will learn how to take a commercial dress or skirt pattern and adapt it to your unique measurements and style preferences.Under the guidance of an accomplished instructor, you will move beyond basic assembly and dive into the art of pattern manipulation, fitting, and professional-grade construction.
