When you see a photo of the back of yourself, do your pants look as if they were made for someone else with too much fabric and wrinkled - or made for you? If the answer is 'made for someone else" this class is a must. Joe Vecchiarelli, fashion advisor and draper to the stars, film and tv studios including such shows as Dancing with the Stars and Project Runway, can show you how to make pants that fit your different body contours. 

 

In this class, Joe will personally measure each class attendee giving them the accurate measurements that will enable them to make a pattern on muslin and transpose on to paper. He will personally fit the muslin to your body. You will be shown how adapt your pattern for a tailored look, a Palazzo pant, a skinny leg or a wide leg. You will be provided with all the supplies you need to draft the pattern on muslin and transpose it to paper which you will take home. This pattern will enable you to make a pair of pants that will fit your unique figure. Body forms will be provided, or you may bring your own.

 

Material fee includes: Muslin and pattern drafting materials.
