Come join Annie Smith with her two day workshop to clone a garment!
From Annie~ Everyone thinks that it’s so much less expensive to buy their clothes nowadays – but when you can’t find what you want in the fabrics you want, and they don’t fit properly – you want to try your hand at making your own clothes again.
We stopped making clothes when our bodies changed and deeply discounted clothing became readily available. Let’s make some garments that you will really enjoy wearing and that are affordable.
Choose an item in your closet that fits perfectly — that’s the key — they already have to fit! That way, you won’t have any adjusting or fitting problems.
**Please don’t choose jeans or pants that need to have a front zipper — those can be problematic. A garment that is really detailed, like a classic jacket would also be tough as a first project. And, please don’t choose something that you’re hoping to make fit — neither of us will end up being happy.**
Example of garments to choose: a dress, top or blouse or tunic, a skirt or simple pair of pants. *You can send me a photo of what you’d like to choose and I’ll give you my feedback.
Also, please don’t choose something that is a knit of any kind for this first garment. Something woven is best for your first foray into cloning ready to wear.
