Pants Fitting Workshop

Claudia is an avid sewer with over fifty years under her belt.  In the recent past decade, she has studied pattern fitting with Pati Palmer, Marta Alto, Pamela Leggett and Louise Cutting.  

Now she greatly enjoys passing that knowledge to others. Her two day workshops will get you to a new level of fitting expertise.  Your confidence will soar!


We will be using Butterick pattern # 6845. We will not make pockets.
Please wear tight fitting leggings or tights for modesty. We will both tissue fit and fabric fit during the process. Please buy the correct size by taking your HIP measurement where you are the fullest and refer to the pattern envelope for fabric amounts. Before we meet, rough cut out the whole pattern pieces and dry iron press them, to save time in the workshop. Save and bring any large pieces of the tissue paper that has no markings on them. Bring your pattern, fabric, notions, basic sewing supplies, markers and machine. Also you will need ½” Magic Scotch tape…sometimes hard to find, and reuseable tape. On day 1, I will show how to prepare the pattern pieces for tissue fitting. We will spend the remainder of the day getting everyone tissue fitted and on to cutting the fabric for fabric fitting. Feel free to cut a muslin first or your fabric. On day 2, you will continue where you left off the day before…you will pin the front to the back and baste. Then we will fabric fit.
