Whether your curves are fuller or smaller than the pattern's draft, the secret to a professional fit lies in knowing exactly where to add or remove volume. In this class, you will learn to identify your specific figure variations and develop a targeted plan to alter your patterns. 

  • • The Vocabulary of Curves: Learn the critical distinction between "full" and "prominent" curves. Understanding this difference is the "Aha!" moment that ensures you’re moving the fabric in the right direction. 
  • • Targeted Zone Analysis: We’ll explore specific strategies for common fit areas, including the bust, the backside (fuller or flatter), and the abdomen (prominent or less pronounced). 
  • • The Seam Method Advantage: Watch live demonstrations of how the Seam Method allows you to isolate these "curvy" areas. You’ll see how to make significant changes in one zone without causing a "ripple effect" that distorts the rest of the pattern.
