Description
Jenn says, “When go to my closet, I can pull out a few things that I wish I had more of: my favorite True Religion Jeans, a knit top from Banana Republic that I found on a weekend trip to the outlets in Vermont, and my favorite Mossimo Tank Top that Target has discontinued. I’m sure you have things in your closet that you wish you had more than one of, too. Or, maybe the fit isn’t as perfect as it once was… or worse, maybe your favorite tee has a stain that you can’t get out.”
Learn Jenn’s basic method and her tips and tricks for making a rub-off. Learn which garments and fabrics are easiest to work with. We’ll start with something simple like a tank top or basic skirt (your choice). For these garments, you use the paper method of rubbing-off a garment.
Then we’ll work with a garment that has more details like sleeves and darts. To accurately trace these elements, you’ll use the fabric method and pin muslin (or Pattern Ease, Jenn’s preference) to the garment. Choose a favorite top with sleeves and a dart to work with in class.
Jenn will also demonstrate how to rub-off a pair of shorts. The class kit includes a workbook that with illustrated, step-by-step instructions for a variety of garments, so you’ll leave class with the tools to tackle almost any garment in your closet!
