If you have always wanted to make the clothes YOU envision in your head, here is your chance! Using the techniques from her book, Design-It-Yourself Clothes, Cal will teach you how to draft your own basic patterns for three garments, based on the measurements of your unique body. Then you will learn how to take those patterns and stylize them into endless variations. For each of the three styles, you will make a muslin, fit and correct your pattern, and finally sew one or more finished garment(s). Before you know it, you'll have a whole new handmade wardrobe! 

In this five-day workshop, you will learn to draft and sew three garments in woven fabric:

• wide-legged pull-on pants

• a shirt or jacket

• very versatile shift with set-in sleeves
