Event Type 2: Special Events

Judy Kessinger, inventor and Designer of the FitNiceSystem, will take the mystery out of fitting during the Fit to Fabulous Class! If you have ever wanted to try to make clothes for yourself or others this is the class for you. This is a lecture, not a hands-on class, so the only thing you need for class is pen and paper for note taking.

Judy will discuss issues that most ladies have when fitting tops and pants, and how to solve those issues.

A Trunk Show of garments that show various tricks that conceal and embrace issues (such as sloping shoulders)

Plus-Personal Fittings

Judy will personally measure each lady and draw on a miniature pattern where you can go home and draw for yourself. 

The serger blouse can be made with any fabric—I love cotton fabric for its softness and batik for the colors and that they are the same on both sides!
Both short sleeve and long sleeve have finished edges—on the serger—so no hemming at all!

This is an easy flowing jacket that falls into an S shape in the front. Use your MASTER KNIT TOP PATTERN and cut the front according to the Surena directions. You can finish the edges with a rolled hem stitch on your serger, turn over the edges and topstitch or the easiest of all —do nothing…knits won’t ravel!

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: Any knit that doesn’t roll on the edges. Heavier knits such as Sophia and Ponte Roma work beautifully for this project. The back of the fabric needs to look as good as the front…both show when the front cascades.
