Pattern Fitting - Adjust the Bust

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 the 3 hour Adjust the Bust Workshop, Beth will show you how to do a variety of bust adjustments on a sample pattern (provided), which you can take home for future reference. On your sample pattern, you will learn how to:

- Adjust the bust on a variety of styles

- Do a full bust adjustment 

- Do a small bust adjustment

- Adjust princess seams

- Raise and lower bust darts 

- Add darts to achieve a better fit

This class has 3 hours of instruction followed by an optional 2 hour Fit Lab. This is a pattern alteration class and will not involve using a sewing machine.

For the optional, 2 hour Fit Lab part of the class, bring your own pattern to learn how to do your bust adjustment with Beth.

Fit Lab (optional) will be from 2pm - 4pm
