In this class, we'll work with the Archer Pattern from Grainline Studios. You'll learn:

  • How to measure your body and select the correct pattern size; some sizing and simple fit modifications will be addressed
  • How to correctly cut your fabric from a pattern
  • How to construct a collar, cuffs, button placket, and buttonholes
