Adjust the Bust

About the Event

Big or small, high or low, most of us need to adjust the bust on sewing patterns. Learn to how to alter a pattern so it  has the same curves you do. No more tight shoulders, pulling open in the front, or darts that don't go where you do. This class will be a workshop-style class including both demonstration and hands-on practice using pattern samples so that you can get familiar with doing adjustments. 

During this workshop, garment sewing exper, Beth Galvin, will show you how to do a variety of bust adjustments on a sample pattern (you will need to be able to print this prior to class). 

On your sample pattern, you will learn how to:

  • Adjust the bust on a variety of styles
  • Raise and lower bust darts
  • Do a full bust adjustment 
  • Do a small bust adjustment
  • Adjust princess seams
  • Add darts to achieve a better fit

This is a pattern alteration class and you will not be sewing in class.
