What happens in this class?

This course looks deeper into pattern and dress fitting, a common area of interest from our previous dress-making courses.

Thoroughly enjoyed the class last night. Can't wait for the next session. Francia was so informative

I loved this course! Instructor was great and the small group size worked really well. The only thing I would change would be to add a 3rd session, maybe a few weeks later when we could bring in our final makes. I would highly recommend Remode and would like to attend another course in the future.

Great class 😀At last the penny has dropped you need to really look at your pattern and know your accurate body measurements to make the necessary adjustments before any cutting. Monika explained the ways to make the pattern adjustments really well. Thank you
