Shirley Paden will take you through all the steps of sweater design in this intensive all day workshop based on her much anticipated Sweater Design Book.

Shirley Paden Sweater Design

In this class students will learn to custom-make their own sweater patterns. They will work through organizing the components involved in constructing two different types of pullovers with a round neckline. The first is the Classic Body silhouette that is based on the bust measurements. It is worked straight to the armholes, then, the armholes and neckline are shaped. The second is the Double Tapered Body silhouette. This sweater type is shaped along the natural curves of the body to the armholes, then, the armholes and neckline are shaped. Both pullover types will be planned with set-in sleeves. Students will be walked through accurately measuring a swatch, taking body measurements, writing a pattern, and calculating yarn amounts. Measuring a garment will also be reviewed.

Sunday March 7 11:00 – 5:00 pm
