In addition to You Choose Your Focus format, we’ll spend an hour or so every day learning to make good use of a fashion croquis.

 Why is a croquis helpful? A croquis of yourself helps you understand how to create a pleasing visual proportion on your figure. Plus, a croquis lets you see how different garment designs are going to look on your body. This means you can experiment with visual proportion and design before you work on fitting and constructing a garment, which helps you get to a garment you’ll be happy with more quickly.

 If you think you can’t draw, don’t let that deter you from taking this class. You will receivet a handout with lots of helpful information and lots of tips on to put your ideas down on paper.

 About two months before the class, we’ll email specific and easy-to-follow instructions for making a croquis, which is based on a photo of yourself. The process takes an hour or two. We’ll also send you a short supply list.

Pants that Fit pattern;  assessing fit and/or construction of finished garments; assisting with pattern work; demonstrating sewing techniques; developing new styles from a well-fitted pattern; padding a dress form to reflect your body; selecting fabric for a specific garment; selecting a garment or style for a specific fabric; advising on garment structure (interfacing, lining, etc.);  assisting with interesting fabric and/or trim combinations; developing flattering garment styles for your figure; and help with developing and honing your creative process.
