Pattern Alterations - Trouser Fitting at The Sewing Cafe

Such a great sewing Saturday on my Pattern Alteration - Trouser Fitting at The Sewing Cafe. 

A sold-out session that looked at some of the difficulties that can occur when fitting trousers. 

Pattern alteration on the flat, although not foolproof, can correct a number of issues before doing a test garment or 'toile'. 

Some of the things we looked at were taking precise measurements to compare with patterns, lengthening or shortening the crotch measurement, basic grading techniques, how to increase and decrease darts, and create a back yoke. 

We also discussed some of the commercial pattern and fit issues that can occur and the ways to fix them. 

A wonderful session accompanied with tea and cake...whats not to love!
