Beginners Pattern Drafting (Beginners II) - June 20th & 21st, 2026
Interested in designing your own clothes? Have you followed a pattern before, but came out unsatisfied with the fit? Then this workshop is the perfect fit for you! During this class, we will cover the basics of drafting a bodice sloper using your body measurements, sewing a mockup, and adjusting it for the perfect fit. Designers and tailors use a sloper as a template to draft endless variations of clothing, because it is tailored to fit your exact body.
This is a 6 hour workshop (two, 3 hour sessions) held on June 20th & 21st, from 2:00-5:00pm in our sewing area at Community. It is available to ages 18+ with a maximum class size of 6 students.
While this is a beginner’s level workshop, knowledge of how to use your sewing machine and basic sewing knowledge is required. If you have never used a sewing machine before, please sign up for our Beginners Sewing course first.
The instructor, Evelyn Russell, is a redesigner and seamstress at Community. She is studying Fashion Merchandising and Fabric Design at the University of Georgia and is pursuing a career in sustainable textiles and fashion. We are proud to say that she also sells her own clothing line, EUDOXA, at Community.
