Come study with Sarah Veblen, master fitter and author of The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting.
Anyone can learn to fit.
- The first key to unlocking the mystery of fitting garments is to use specific axis lines drawn on the test garment.
- The second ingredient is to train your eye to recognize what fitting problems look like.
- And the third piece of the puzzle is to practice.
In this two-day class, you’ll learn the basics of fitting. Under Sarah Veblen’s guidance, you’ll practice fitting a darted straight skirt and a princess bodice on another class participant. In turn, your fitting buddy will fit you. Not only will you gain confidence in your ability to fit, but you’ll also come away with two test garments that are well on their way to having a perfect fit.
