Ron Collins is a well-known international sewing expert, designer for Vogue Patterns, teacher, writer, and co-host of Web TV’s Power Sewing. He is back for a limited engagement! Is fitting your nemesis? Bring your favourite patterns and muslins and let’s start fitting. Go home with your pattern, adjust the pattern, cut out the garment from scrap fabric or muslin, sew the fitting shell, and then refine the fit and transfer your alterations to your pattern. Bring patterns for jackets, pants, tops, jeans, outerwear, etc. Choose whatever pattern you want and whatever fabric suits the pattern, such as in woven, stretch woven or knits. With Ron by your side, you’ll be able to overcome those trouble spots in fitting.
