This workshop introduces you to the Seam Method, a systematic and thoughtful approach to pattern alteration that starts with a basic fitting pattern. You’ll learn how to identify exactly where a pattern needs to change, making deliberate adjustments that solve fit issues without creating new ones. In addition to this overview, you'll get hands on experience with the techniques.
- • The Magic of the Hinge: Master the core of the Seam Method. You’ll practice the "hinge" technique—releasing seam allowances to adjust a measurement exactly where you need it, without creating bubble, wrinkles or other distortions in the pattern.
- • Step-by-Step Practice: Using half-scale patterns, you’ll work through a variety of common figure variations.
- • Building Confidence: Apply these techniques in a supportive environment, gaining the skills to handle a full-scale fitting pattern with ease.
