Fit-Fest: Fix your fitting issues!+

Sick of your clothes not fitting quite right? Want to make sure that the things you make are actually flattering and work with your body, instead of against it? Then you need to come to FIT FEST!!!

We only do this once a year, so be sure to sign up soon! Space is limited! SIGN UP WITH A FRIEND FOR EXTRA FUN!!!

HEY HOME SEWERS! You are invited to this special afternoon to iron out your fitting questions! We'll review how to properly get measurements of yourself, members will pair up and take measurements so you have a "good" baseline for pattern fitting, discuss ease and how it applies to different garments, review the basics of printed pattern modification and how to determine needed mods from your measurements, a few methods of pattern alteration, and what your body type is so you know which patterns work best for you!
This is a great opportunity for new sewers, crafters who are interested in fashion sewing, or anyone who wants to get a better fit out of their home-sewn garments. Bring a pattern you have a question on or need a few pointers!
PLEASE wear or bring a tight fitting tank top or t-shirt to wear during the measuring process, and wear the undergarments you normally would wear under the type of clothing you are constructing (shirt, dress, etc). If you have exercise shorts or yoga pants to wear for measuring the hips, that would result in a more accurate measurement than with jeans or loose pants.

Bring a pencil & paper to take notes, and a pattern you have questions about!
