The popular two-part Silhouette Pattern-Fitting Class repeats in Oct/Nov at the Mountain Ave. Church of Christ in Tucson. Class limit – 12. RSVP by Oct 1.
From these sessions attendees can learn to fit, adjust and transfer into muslin any pattern from a selection listed in the flyer that accompanies this message. Students receive instructions for supplies and muslin preparation and then take the first 4-hour session. Instructors Rose Skelly or Karen Coyne will help students personalize the fit of their muslins with sewn-in changes, darts, etc. Students take their custom-fit muslins home from this class and construct their garments. Later, a follow-up session is held for questions, tweaking and sharing.
Patterns can be purchased directly from either instructor or from www.silhouettepattern.com. (Shipping costs incurred if purchased online.) For full views of all patterns, class application form and map to the class, click here.
