Join pattern designer Lindsey Rae for her Fit to Flatter dressmaking workshop and explore the proper techniques of measuring, tracing, fitting, and finishing a handmade garment.
In this fast-paced 2 day workshop, you’ll choose from 2 of Lindsey’s designs (the Lanti dress or the Bondi top) and learn a framework that you can follow to achieve better fitting clothes when working with standard sewing patterns.

What you’ll learn:
- How to measure accurately and choose your size
