Adjusting a pattern with Sabrina (Salle Olivier Bresse)

Adjust garment length and fit at the bust to enhance your silhouette.

Course description: For a sweater to fit you well, you need to understand where adjustments are necessary and how to make them without distorting the pattern. In this course, you'll learn about different body types and the garment cuts that best suit them. You'll also learn about the principle of ease, which will help you choose the right garment size. You'll then learn how to adjust the length of the sweater and make some basic chest adjustments. Note that chest adjustments can be made on 4-piece knitted sweater patterns (back, front and sleeves).

At the end of the course, you'll have the course notes in digital format.
