4010-Pattern Alteration Boot Camp
Lorraine Henry
In a perfect world, all figures would be alike - in perfect form. In the real world, we come in all shapes and sizes. Learn what comes first in selecting the right size, what measurements you need, measurement analysis to determine where and what to change for a "combo pack" figure and much more. Then using half scale practice patterns we will alter patterns for such figure combinations as a short midriff which requires the pattern to be shortened but has a rounded back which requires the pattern to be lengthened. We often find opposing figure variations such as this. We will learn how to do large bust, prominent, bust, prominent abdomen alterations and more. Our goal is to learn how to make changes that will give us a fit that is correct and comfortable.
