Learn to make a pattern from your favorite ready-to-wear garment! We'll learn how to accurately trace garment seams and other details using a pounce wheel, add seam allowances, and create a pattern you can use over and over to duplicate your favorite garments. Students should have previous experience sewing garments from a pattern.

Instructor: Erin West

Materials:

Bring 2-3 simple garments to trace, such as knit or woven pullover tops, pull-on pants/shorts/skirts (no buttons or zippers)

We have all basic sewing supplies in the classroom, but you may want to bring your own sewing kit for convenience. We will be using tracing paper and tracing wheels.
