This is a two-part class. Both sections of the class will automatically be placed in your cart when you select one of the sessions.
When I’m making a sweater for myself, I make myself a visual “map” to show me what to do and when. Body shaping, sleeve shaping, bust darts, and more are all on this one-page image that acts as a guide for making my sweater. In this class, I’ll show you how to make your own!
By the end of this class, you will have:
• A body map of yourself
• An understanding of ease and what your ease preferences are
• A "sweater map" for a basic, set-in sleeve sweater designed for your body
• A plan for using the sweater map alongside other patterns to create sweaters that fit you well.
Technique Requirements: should have experience making sweater modifications. Recommended pre-requisite classes: Out on a Limb (or understanding of sleeve cap math) and Bums and Bellies.
