A Measure of Success with Sarah Peasley
Inspired by her journey to provide a better fit for her own garments, Jean Frost developed a step-by-step process for designing her favorite Chanel-style jackets, outlined in her book, Custom Knit Jackets. The first steps involve understanding which of your measurements you need to know and how to take them. A discussion of ease is included, as well as a valuable comparison to the "standard" women's sizes so few of us actually meet—valuable information to have on hand when altering an existing pattern.
With Sarah's help, each student will develop a personalized body-measurement chart which can be used to create a custom-fit Chanel-style jacket from scratch or to tweak one of the patterns from Jean's book for a better fit. You'll also learn about making a life-size schematic and a "sample" garment from store-bought fabric—two valuable tools to help you customize your fit.
