Perfecting the Art of Pant Fitting: Construction the Easy Way Online Workshop | Starts 10/14/2022

Description

Sewing a perfectly fitted pair of pants is a common struggle for most sewists. Don’t feel bad if that’s the case for you! Many sewists can’t seem to get rid of horrible back leg wrinkles, saggy crotches, and misfit in the waist, hips and beyond! And the struggle is for good reason. Pants fitting requires a lot more know-how, skill and techniques then most sewers think. It goes well beyond just superimposing your body measurements onto a pants pattern.

In order to master pants fitting, you not only have to know your body measurements but you have to understand your body type, the pattern alterations you need, the correct order to implement those alterations and how to fine tune to get an exceptional fit. This may seem like a lot, but Victoria Baylor will simplify and streamline the steps you need to help you look at pants fitting from a more common sense approach.

She’ll give you her signature pants fitting equation that will be easy to understand, effective and show you how to split the process into the correct steps! Learning how to fit pants is all about learning how to work smarter and not harder. And when you know what to do you can resolve your pants fitting issues EASILY! Victoria will provide you with the instruction, tips, tools and techniques you’ll need to master pants fitting.
