| What is a Muslin? A muslin is a test copy of your garment, used to correct the fit and assess the style.
Making a muslin can make the difference in a successful garment and a wadder. The process is easy, and the lessons you will learn will help you make a more beautiful, better fitting garment.
Join Shannon as we make a muslin for a jacket or blouse.
In this class, you will learn:
- How to choose the right fabric for your muslin
- Which pattern pieces are necessary
- How to mark your alterations
- How to transfer your alterations to your pattern
- How to make style and fit changes to your muslin
- What to do with the muslin when you finish
As an option, you may send your digital photos of your muslin for assistance and advice. These photos will be made available for the entire class, so we can all learn how to make fitting and style changes.
