PATTERN CLASS - Finally it is coming!
S aturday, November 4th 10 to 12:30
Taught by Josie, from UW Drama Costuming Department
Slopers establish the foundation for all patternmaking. The proper fit and proportions must first be established on paper, in the most basic form, before you can make design changes, such as altering a neckline or adding flare to a skirt. For the home sewer, a sloper is a beneficial  tool in creating a wardrobe that always fits the way it should.  Gain a better understanding of how two dimensional shapes translate to three dimensional garments. Draping a sloper is necessary to fully understanding how patterns work.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Do you keep a record of each item you have created? Why not! It will give you a fantastic sense of accomplishment. If you haven't been doing this, now is a good time to start. Take a photo of your completed project (quilt, clothing, knitted, floral arrangement or whatever other type of crafting you do.) Save all these photos in a separate file and print out a photo and make a scrapbook for yourself. Be sure you write down the date and who you made it for. Someday your grandkids or great grandkids will look through this book and "remember" all the wonderful things you created for them over the years. And they will see how truly creative you were!! Besides that you will feel quite pleased with yourself at just how many things you have done!
Here is a sample page from my book:
