Flat Pattern - Stretchy Knitwear Design
Think of all of the clothes you wear that are stretchy: T-Shirts, Leggings, Bathing Suits, Bralettes, Stretchy Slinky Dresses, Skirts, and tops. Designing those clothes requires special sloper blocks with no darts that will work with stretch fabric. Learn the techniques to create those special blocks and design stretchy garments.
Day - Thursday
Time - 6:00pm-9:00pm
We will meet once a week for 6 weeks. Each week we will focus on a specific garment to design by flat pattern and then sew it up out of stretchy muslin to test it out. You will be able to add your own design flair to all of the styles that we create.

Week 2 - Designing with the dart less bodice and sleeve stretch foundation
