Fine Shaping Workshop with Lily Chin

How often have you worked some fancy stitch pattern but became stumped when it came time to shape the neckline? What do you do if you want a classic set-in sleeve instead of the dreaded drop shoulder? How can you create a refined fit and nip in for the waist/ full for the bust?

This class will clue you in on how to work within the stitch structure of a fancy pattern and still add the necessary garment shaping. Find out trade secrets from my ready-to-wear experience.

Proficiency Level: Advanced, should have basic ability to draft one’s own pattern (have designed own garments), not be afraid of stitch-charts

This class will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on January 8th. Cost is $40 for Guild members and $50 for guests. Register at the December and January meetings.

Note: This is a particularly useful workshop for those submitting designs to the NYCCG pattern book.
