MAKE YOUR SLOPER WORK FOR YOU

FEATURING LYNDA MAYNARD

 

 

ASG Sacramento is excited to invite you to a workshop featuring Lynda Maynard. In this workshop attendees will convert a sloper or master bodice pattern into a jacket pattern, make a test garment of the jacket, and use the sloper in conjunction with a commercial pattern of their choosing. Attendees can use the skills learned in this workshop for future bodice based projects.

 

We have space for 12 students for a hands-on class in pattern work.

 

Date: Saturday and Sunday, March 18 and 19, from 9am-5pm

Location: Steve Cook’s Fireside Lanes, 7901 Auburn Blvd, Citrus Heights

 

****For this workshop you MUST have:
