Ok, so you know what you want...the problem is that there just isn't a pattern out there that's EXACTLY right... Now what??
Description:
Let me show you some ways to corrupt just about any pre-made pattern out there to get what you need! I will show you key points to look for when choosing a pattern and show you how to make subtle adjustments to make it work. Bring your questions and ideas as well as a notepad. Be sure to sign up for Pattern Piecing 2, too! We will pick up where we leave off at this Workshop!
So you've heard the basics... Let's take this to the next level! How do you further create your one-of-kind costume without the safety net of pre-made patterns?
