Kim McBrien Evans – Bums and Bellies

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Overview

Using your measurements and worksheets, we’ll look at how to master the fit of sweater patterns to YOUR body, and what those modifications look like in a simplified form.

By the end of the class, you will have learned:
•  How to choose a size
•  How to compare your measurements to sweater schematics to understand how a hybrid size can be a solution when your measurements span more than 1 size
•  What to do when your weight is carried more in the front or in the back
•  What to do when your gauge and pattern gauge don’t agree
•  Where and how to place shaping darts to help with the fit
