Learn to make technical slopers of a bodice, skirt and sleeve with your measurements. Class topics will include darts, correct fit, and measuring techniques. Slopers made in class will be made to fit the student only, and the creation of muslins to test fit will be homework. This is not a project class, but an introduction to pattern creation. The slopers created in this class will be used in the 102 Flat Pattern class to create an actual garment.
