April 1, 2025 Guild Meeting In Person

Tuesday, April 1 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Kim McBrien Evans

KIM MCBRIEN EVANS VISITS THE GUILD IN PERSON

Kim will present Size Inclusivity and the Maker plus an Indigodragonfly Trunk Show!Indigodragonfly Logo

Size inclusivity is not just about making patterns that result in clothing that we can get on our bodies. It’s about understanding body shape, body size and proportion, how clothing should fit, ease allowances, and understanding what all these mean for each of us. Kim McBrien Evans believes makers and designers can be partners in an inclusive sizing. By understanding how a designer creates patterns, and the body measurements behind the size charts, makers can take control of their own clothing, build skills, and learn to make clothing that fits.

Guild Business Meeting: After Kim’s presentation, there will be a brief Guild business meeting prior to the Indigodragonfly Trunk Show.

A completed Show and Share form is required for each item you share (limited to three, please) to be dropped off at the table when you enter the conference room before the meeting. You may download, print, and complete the Show and Share form in advance to bring with you.
