Palmer and Pletsch Fitting Course - Tops

Join Legacy Fabrics and Jan, a Palmer and Pletsch certified instructor, and learn how to fit and adjust a paper pattern to your correct size!

Does fit scare you? Think positive. YOU have a perfect body. It is the pattern you
need to change!

Finally, a class that will empower you to be able to fit yourself and create beautiful
clothing. If your armholes gap, shirts hike up in front, clothes are too large through
the shoulders or too tight across the bust, you need this class! If you are a C-cup,
DD-cup, or a larger bust size, learn how to alter patterns to fit you.

We will start by choosing the best size for you, based on your high bust
measurement. Once your correct size is determined, we will work together on
learning how to use the Palmer/Pletsch method to make alterations to the paper pattern.

It’s easy; it’s practical; it applies to all pattern companies. Plus it’s nearly measure-free;
no need to draft every design from scratch; no need to make a muslin. Learn to
buy the right size by taking only ONE measurement.

Jan is a certified Palmer/Pletsch tissue fitting and sewing instructor and in this one day class, she will help you achieve a great fitting top. You’ll learn the skills to work on your own on garments that will flatter your body, no matter your size or shape. Classes are small and allow for personal attention as you work.

The pattern is included in the class. There will be some basic supplies needed for the class, some will be provided, and the others will be sent in an email before the class.

The class will go from 10M-5PM

Pattern Used: Butterick 6842

It is a semi-fitted shirt that has a raised neckline, fold-back facings, darts, shaped hemline & narrow hem. It is has optional fitted sleeves with button cuffs.

If you are interested in taking a fitting class on pants - then you need to take this pre-requisite! We will be hosting some pants fitting classes from Jan, but in order to take them, you'll need to have this class under your belt!
