Skirt Sloper Beginner Pattern Making

  • Stitchspace LA 13753 Ventura Boulevard Los Angeles, CA, 91423 United States (map)

In this two part introductory womenswear pattern-making class, you will learn the how to measure and map the lower body to create a one dart skirt template or "sloper" that is custom fit to your figure and exact measurements!

In this class, you will learn how to take proper measurements, add ease, create a block, and apply formulas while drafting your pattern.  We will then sew a muslin to test for fit and make adjustments before drafting your final sloper on oak tag. 

Your sloper can be used in turn to create patterns for an endless variety of styles of skirts! 

This pattern making series is taught by Kelly Williams.
