Spend the day with Judy and learn all the tips and tricks to making the PERFECT jacket for your lifestyle that fits perfectly and adds zing to your wardrobe. Even beginners can accomplish this simple pattern that fits with your choice of fabric and closure and then finishes with fun details. Zippers are not a mystery, and the way Judy does them is ingenious. This is not about tailoring -- this is a day dedicated to easy fit, creating and designing the kind of jackets that add sophistication to your wardrobe in the easiest way possible. Begin with a discussion of issues most of us face when fitting jackets, and an exploration of ways to solve them. Enjoy a trunk show of the many styles of jackets which reveal her simple, easy approach to the finished garment of your dreams. There will be plenty of time for Q & A.
Perhaps the most important part of the day is when Judy measures each student. With your one-on-one consultation, she draws the solution(s) on a miniature pattern, simple to recreate on your own patterns at home. Fitting issues are discovered, discussed and solved -- right then and there! Play with Judy’s garment collection, even try them on (there will be a full-length mirror available) and even, if you bring your camera, take pictures of your favorite styles and colors. End the day with creative design tricks and a quick look at how Judy’s basic patterns can be transformed into a wardrobe of wearable, comfortable and attractive clothes.
