The February member meeting topic was pattern fitting. Our own Cheralee Stover gave an overview of 3 different quilted jacket patterns, and broke down how to identify fit issues and their solutions. Many of us find sewing clothes daunting. Humans aren’t flat, after all.
Our upcoming workshop on quilted jackets is a popular project among quilters. She demonstrated common measurements to take for garments and how those measurements transferred to pattern pieces. If you’re going to cut into a quilt, you want to know you’ll get a good result.
The slides are available in the members section of the website. They include the guides to choosing an alteration and the video links with demonstrations.
Remember - your machine doesn’t know what you’re making, so you can make a garment.
