Slopers are the basic building block for all patterns.

During this class you will learn how to take your body measurements correctly.

We will help you develop a sloper pattern based on your specific body measurements; and that sloper can be used to draft an endless number of patterns at home, or modify commercial patterns and achieve a more customized fit. A bodice sloper details the length, width, and shape of your torso, as well as the bust points and the length of bust darts.
