Hands On Pant and Jean Fitting
6 Hours-Limited to 12 Students

Tired of trying to get a pair of pants that fit? Begin the class by trying on pant and/or jean slopers in different sizes (brought in by Sandra herself) to determine what size you are at the hip and waist. 

• Sandra Betzina will then advise you what additional pattern alterations you will need for a flat seat, tummy, high and full hips, sway back, full thighs, etc.
• You will then cut out the pants or jeans from scrap fabric or muslin.
• Fit will be refined.
• Alterations will be transferred to create a master pattern.
• You now have a pant or jean pattern which fits and can be made again and again!

Students should bring a Today's Fit pant pattern (Vogue 2948, 2913, 7608, or 1034) purchased by their own snug hip measurement.

Note: In order to obtain accurate measurements, avoid wearing clothing that is too tight or it will distort your figure.
