Copy Cat: Duplicate A Loved Garment! (2-Day Camp)

We haven't had this class in so many years that I honestly almost forgot we used to teach it! We all have that one beloved item of clothing that haunts our dreams. Every time we delicately put it on we say, "Will this be it? Will today be the day the threadbare fabric finally gives and I can no longer wear it responsibly?" In this class we will go over the basics of transferring your beloved garment into a flat pattern that you can then use to create a toile (mockup of the garment) to see how you did. All without taking it apart!

Day One: We will go over how to lay out the garment and create a flat pattern.

Day Two: We will take the flat pattern to cut out a toile of the garment and adjust fit.

Supplies to bring:

• Several garments so we have more than one option of what to recreate (Clean, please).
• 3 yards muslin fabric (cotton) for woven garments (something not so stretchy ) OR 2.5 yards of knit fabric for stretchy garments.

Class Level: This class is for Intermediate and Advanced Sewists. Previous experience with machine sewing, several completed sewing projects, and some pattern reading is required. Please email us if you are concerned you may not be at the right level for this class. 

Cancellation Policy: No refunds are offered for classes or camps. If you cancel at least 72 hours before class begins, we can apply the class fees to another class/camp. Cancellations received less than 72 hours before class begins, or no-shows, forfeit their class fees. We are unable guarantee the same class or session will be available for rescheduling. Arriving more than 30 minutes late for class may also be a forfeit of class fees. Please call. Inclement weather, as well as school and government mandated closures, have the same cancellation policy.
