CLOTHING CONSTRUCTION TABULA RASA JACKET WORKSHOP Spend two inspiring days fitting and creating your own Tabula Rasa Jacket from Fit for Art Patterns. We’ll get right to work with a personalized fitting by instructors Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson using Tabula Rasa Jacket mock-ups to determine the right size and pattern pieces for you. You’ll make and mark your own mock-up, use it to perfect the fit and adjust your paper pattern; you will also learn how to keep using that mock-up as a design tool. You will cut out and construct a polished “wearable mock-up” using a group of fabrics you’ve selected or brought from home. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your design tool mock-up, a customized paper pattern and an unlined version of the Tabula Rasa Jacket for casual wear; we recommend that you wear that first jacket out and about to make sure you are completely satisfied with the fit before starting your next jacket. You will also take home a wealth of information enabling you to plan your next Tabula Rasa Jacket. Topics covered during the workshop will include: Making fitting adjustments to mock-up and paper pattern; Sketching design ideas; Choosing fabrics that work together; Comfort and ease of wear in jackets; Planning engineering, such as interfacing, lining, closures and special sewing techniques; Seam treatments for a professionally finished unlined jacket; Ideas for embellishments and surface design techniques; and Planning for a quilted jacket. #159 - Sat. & Sun., Jun. 23 & 24 - 9 to 4
