Master Pattern: Intro to Clothing Fit (The Judy Kessinger Way)

Have you ever wished store-bought clothing fit just a little better—or wondered how experienced garment sewers achieve consistent results?

Join Elayne for an introduction to the Judy Kessinger Master Pattern system and learn the basics of achieving a better fit when sewing clothing. During this lecture and demonstration class, we'll explore how the Master Top and Master Pants patterns work, discuss common fit considerations, and look at the many garment variations that can be created from these versatile patterns.

Whether you're completely new to garment sewing or looking for a simpler approach to fitting, this class will provide a helpful overview of the process and help you decide if clothing sewing is something you'd like to pursue further.

This class is a great fit for:
