We all have favorite clothing items that we wish we had at least one more of. Or a favourite garment is showing wear and tear and you want to make a new version.

In this four-part class, you will learn to analyze and recreate a pattern from your favorite garment, all without taking it apart. This is a great way to pattern draft ensuring a great fit from the start.  We will also create a muslin which will allow you to understand the construction steps of your garment.
