Bums and Bellies: Sweater Shaping For Your Body, with Kim McBrien Evans – February 23, 1:00

Sunday, February 23, 1:00 - 3:00 pm

Using your measurements and worksheets, we’ll look at how to master the fit of sweater patterns to YOUR body, and what those modifications look like in a simplified form.

Learn:

• How to choose a size to start with

• How to compare your measurements to sweater schematics to learn how a “hybrid size” can be a solution when your measurements span more than one size

• What to do when your weight is carried more in front or back

• What to do when your gauge and the pattern gauge don’t agree

• Where and how to place shaping darts to help with fit
