October Fit & Sew Retreat - another success story

www.surefitdesigns.com

Late October/early November saw the completion of another successful Sure-Fit Designs Fit & Sew Retreat.


This Retreat had ladies from Washington, California, Iowa and Nevada.  Some drove to Eugene, other flew in...we all had a great time and learned lots.

We start this Fit & Sew Retreat with 3 days of pants drawing, fitting and project work.  They were a fabulous class...all of them completed their yoga pants projects.  This typically doesn't always happen.  Here they all are in their finished yoga/travel/comfort pants and happy to have completed their project work.  Anna (our SFD Canadian distributor) joined the group.  She's on the far left side and also wearing her yoga pants.

Then we began 3 days of bodice fitting and designing.  Everyone achieved an excellent fitting bodice and all got their tank top project underway, but none of them were quite finished - sorry no photo.  Mostly they had only the bias binding trim to complete which was easy enough to finish at home.

But we definitely got the certificate and farewell photo.  They were an awesome group of like-minded women.  We all worked hard and everyone was tired, but went home with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.


Maybe you'd like to attend a Fit & Sew Retreat, meet new sewing buddies, and go home with both pants and bodice/blouse patterns that fit your unique body shape.

You will receive the following:
6 days intense, individualized instruction and fitting assistance, including a lecture/demo on fitting commercial patterns.

•Gift bag including (some) drawing/drafting supplies

•Non-stretch elastic for your Yoga/Travel/Comfort pants project from the designing book 'Pants that Mix n Multiply'.

•Waistband interfacing

•High cutting table – 1 per student – personal workspace - no need to share your space.

•Use of a sewing machine and serger – no need to bring your own when flying in.
