Copy your Clothes!

About:

Have a shirt you absolutely love but would also love in a vintage fabric? Favorite pants falling apart? Fear not! This class shows you how to create a sewing pattern based off a garment you already own & want to recreate. We'll go over:

-Ways to copy the pieces that make up your garment (from cutting apart to damage-free copying options)

-How to best label & annotate your new pattern pieces 

-What info you need to copy (seam allowance, grainline, etc)

-Ways to  analyze how your garments was sewn

Bring a garment(s) you'd like to copy, paper & patternmaking tools provided! A long sleeve button up shirt or basic pants will take around 2hrs.  Feel free to bring extra just in case you're fast!
