The focus for this workshop is using sewing patterns when cutting fabric.
This includes understanding the grain line principle, a refresh of commercial sewing pattern essentials and basic fabric considerations.
This will include:
- Cutting Talk - basic refresh of important elements of the fabric grainline principle
- What is the grain line?
- The cross grain – pros and cons
- The bias grain – pros and cons
- Notches – 2 transfer methods - how to, pros and cons
- Dots – how to transfer – e.g. single point and double-point darts
- Pleats – broken and solid lines
- Seam allowances and hem annotations not always in the instructions
After the event, Amber will be on-hand to answer any questions and help you pick the right pattern for your project.
