Marla Kazell's Workshop on Drafting New Features For Your Existing Blouse/Shirt Pattern
Marla taught us how to transform a well-fitting garment pattern into several different patterns. Because of this workshop, we no longer have to purchase commercial patterns and fit them to our bodies, but we can change our existing well-fitting pattern to a new style. Scroll down to the bottom to see some finished projects from this workshop.

Both shirts were made from the same pattern. The pattern details were manipulated using techniques taught by Marla Kazell.
