Slopers are the perfect starting point for designing and making your own sewing patterns and garments! Slopers are the basic template for the pattern making process, and they are used to establish the fit of the body. So when you have a perfectly fitting sloper to your body, you’ll have a perfectly fitting garment! Through this start anytime workshop we’ll guide you through the entire detailed process of developing a sloper library consisting of a bodice and sleeve, skirt, pants, and dress sloper. Then to top it all off in the end you’ll see how to preserve these slopers so you can use them again and again!
