This was an amazing class taught by Shannon Gifford. We are so fortunate to have Shannon teaching classes on Pattern Review. There were twelve lessons that had excellent instructions with pictures. We also had three live chats that were very informative. Shannon's eye to diagnose fitting issues on our muslin's was outstanding.
I am excited and motivated by this class to make beautiful skirts. I'm presently enrolled in Shannon's Build a Better Skirt Class. I feel privileged to have been able to take this class.

Mufffet said... This is indeed a great class! Thanks Peggy for a good review. This class was invaluable in the fitting process. Making a muslin from a chosen pattern and altering the muslin, then adding the changes to a redrafted pattern was great experience. I would recommend this class to anyone, and the whole process is well worth the effort. It also helps a lot if you want to take the Pants Muslin class to have taken this one first. Fitting the hips and waist will put you that much farther along for pants fitting! 8/28/08 10:42 AM
