Ever dreamt of underwear that actually fits your body? In this hands-on, body-positive class, you’ll learn how to draft your very own custom panty sloper—a pattern block tailored to your unique shape and style. Whether you’re looking for everyday comfort or a foundation for more creative lingerie designs, this workshop gives you the tools and confidence to make it happen. You’ll take your own (and your partner’s) measurements, learn how to factor in stretch to patterns, and leave with a personalized panty sloper that hugs your curves just right. It’s part pattern drafting, part fit revelation—and entirely empowering. No more guessing, no more riding up or rolling down. Just perfectly drafted briefs made for your body, by your hands.

In this empowering, hands-on workshop, students will learn how to take accurate body measurements, understand stretch percentages, and draft a personalized panty sloper that fits their body—not a standard size chart. We’ll break down the essentials of working with stretch fabrics, from calculating negative ease to shaping for comfort and style. Students will leave with a completed pattern draft and a solid understanding of how to adapt it into different styles like high-waisted briefs, bikinis, or hipsters. 

This class is perfect for sewists ready to take control of their fit and dive into the world of custom drafting. My teaching style is approachable, encouraging, and rooted in body-neutrality—think casual sewing circle meets pattern drafting bootcamp. Expect a supportive and creative atmosphere where questions are welcomed, technical concepts are demystified, and every student walks away with the confidence to draft and adapt with intention.

Material fee includes: A copy of Bare Essentials: Underwear - spiral bound book, pattern paper for the draft and a half scale hip and French curve (for small curves)
