Day 1 – Welcome! Fearless Figure Evaluation & Measurement Method of Fitting:

A fabulous fit begins with an accurate knowledge of your figure. Experience a “fearless figure evaluation” with the experts. Knowing your own figure variations and figure type, or combination of types, helps you select fashion styles that look terrific and may need little or no alteration. Discover the advantages of “Quick Fit,” “Smart Fit,” and “Alternative Fit” fashion styles for your figure. See how your figure measures up. With Measuring Made Easy, you will get quick, accurate measurements using the innovative and essential Two-Easy™ Measuring Tape. Working in teams, we will measure your shoulders, chest, back, bust, midriff, waist and arms, preparing you to work with custom fit in the bodice. We will measure your waist, hips, abdomen, buttocks, crotch curve, and legs, preparing you to work with skirts and pants. Based on your figure eval and your measurements, you will learn to alter your pattern according to your particular needs.

Day 2 – Directional Measuring on the Pattern and Alteration by the Seam Method:

Surprise, we’ve cracked the “measurement code!” Watch a concise demonstration showing you how to use the code with “directional measuring,” an innovative sequence that tells you exactly where to make adjustments in the pattern. It’s so easy, you’ll wonder why you thought it was so hard to begin with! Watch an amazing and detailed demonstration of the revolutionary seam method of alteration that eliminates distortion in your basic and fashion patterns. (This is NOT what your grandmother learned.) Nurture the child within as you play with the seam method using efficient and effective half-scale practice patterns.

Day 3 – Skirt:

Working with the experts, directionally measure your basic skirt pattern beginning with the hip joint level. Practice with half-scale patterns on lower torso alterations. Learn how alterations on basic patterns relate to altering fashion patterns. Then alter your skirt pattern as needed, using the seam method. Cut your skirt to fit. Stitch and fine-tune the fit according to speed-fitting guidelines.

Day 4 – Pants Working with the experts, directionally measure your basic pant pattern beginning with the inseam. Practice with half-scale patterns on lower torso pant alterations. Adjusting after each measurement takes the mystery out of where changes need to be made. With the experts in the lead, learn step-by-step how to use the very clever flexible curve measurement tool to perfect the shape of the pants crotch curve. Alter your pants pattern accordingly. Cut your pants to fit. Stitch pants and fine-tune the fit according to speed-fitting guidelines.

Day 5 – Bodice Shell:

Working with the experts, directionally measure your basic bodice shell pattern beginning with side seam. Practice with half-scale patterns on upper torso bodice alterations. You’ll notice improvements in your understanding and ability with the “Two-Easy™ Measuring Tape” and directional measuring. Then alter your bodice pattern as needed, using the seam method. Cut your bodice shell to fit. Stitch and fine-tune the fit according to speed-fitting guidelines. You’ll be delighted by your improvements in “reading” fitting wrinkles as clues in achieving a truly fabulous fit!
