How to Adjust a
Non-Stretch Pattern
for Stretch Fabric
With Jennifer Stern
Date: June 4th, 10:00am. Come at 9:30 to socialize.
Location: Via Zoom
If you have a pattern in your stash that you want to make out of knit, but it was designed for non-stretch fabric, this is the class for you. I’ve made a set of samples to show you how a top and pant pattern fits in non-stretch fabric. Then I used adjusted pattern pieces to make them out of knit or stretch fabric. The key to adjusting the pattern correctly is to determine how much wearable stretch your fabric has. Just because a fabric can stretch 30% doesn’t mean you want it to. I’ll show you the difference between maximum stretch and wearable stretch. Then learn how to adjust your pattern pieces for a perfect fit. Discover what kinds of non-stretch patterns are easier to adjust for stretch fabric.
