Couldn't load pickup availability
This class offers a multi-level experience depending on the sewing level of the participant.
This 4 part course (March 22, March 29, April 5, April 12) will cover the relationship between fit and pattern making by teaching flat and 3-dimensional patterns. Each student will learn how to take detailed body measurements and how to use drafting tools to create their own individual patterns to fit their measurements. The class will focus on pants and include techniques for fitting them to your body. Each student will leave the course with basic knowledge of the construction techniques used to sew a garment.
More advanced students will learn how these patterns and skills can then be translated to alter commercial patterns as well as learning skills required for more complex shapes and designs.

| Instructor: | Justin Avery |
| Instructor Bio: | Justin has enjoyed 40 years in the garment construction industry. He began in Berkeley, CA, learning the craft, later attending UCSB and earning a degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. His areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, pattern drafting, the design and construction of wedding dresses, general alterations, reconstructions, couture, formal dresses costuming and prop making. Born and raised in Berkeley, California and Justin has lived in Southern California since 1989. He is the proud father of three and has been married for 28 years. "In today’s culture, we spend far too much time contorting our bodies in order to meet the current standards of fashion. Fashion is far too fickle and unstable a thing to devote that many heartstrings to it. My philosophy is simply to make the clothes fit the people and not to make the people fit the clothes. Fashion is to be used as a means of expression and creativity, not a standard of life or a measure of weight. Always remember, this is supposed to be fun, not soul-crushing work. To be overly concerned about how a curve goes funny is very unattractive. It is very attractive, however, to see a person who is confident about the ‘unique exceptions’ of their body and strut their stuff as is. For example, a gap in the teeth will matter very little to those around the one who loves to laugh and smile. They will barely notice the imperfection because the joy is what radiates most. I try to emulate this attitude in all my designs." Learn more about Justin's work by visiting his website: www.jrahouseofdesign.com |
