No, your bust size isn’t your bra size!

sweater_dress154933Okay, the sweater looked great in the pattern, but not so great on you after you made it, right? This workshop teaches you how to accurately measure yourself so that all dimensions fit you properly.

You will learn how to ease in your correct measurements and change the smallest details that will make all the difference in the way your garment (sweater, vest, skirt) fits your body.

You will have the opportunity to make a form of your body to take with you for fitting purposes.

This is probably one workshop everyone who knits and crochets should take!

Why continue wasting your time and money on garments that come out either too small or too large?! Once and for all, make your knits fit!

This is one of the options at our Spring Workshop at Pine Lake Country Club in April. Please join us there.
