Big or small, high or low, most of us need to adjust the bust on sewing patterns. 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
