Publisher's Synopsis
Express your personal style - and with garments that fit you perfectly. When it comes to fashion and clothes, you have your style. You know what you like. And you're all about making it yourself. Bravo! But…if the pattern is off - and we all have those experiences - then so is the final garment. The fit, the look, the impression you hoped to make misses the mark. That's why we all need Sarah Veblen in our lives!
Drafting, adjusting, refining, completing - this pro will walk you through every step in one master class. For more than twenty-five years, Sarah Veblen has been designing and making clothing for her private clientele, specializing in fit, innovative pattern design and quality construction. In Styles from a Master Bodice Pattern, Sarah shows you how to use a master pattern - a properly fitted, basic bodice pattern - as the foundation for creating many styles. Because every new design is based on the master pattern, a great fit is built in. With this approach, you can spend your time creating new looks, rather than adjusting different patterns for fit.
Learn how to:
- Transform a basic bodice design into multiple new styles such as:
- turn a darted bodice into one with princess seams
- change the opening of a blouse from back to front, or front to side

- draft and personalize mandarin and roll collars
