Learn how to match fabric patterns across seams for garments that look better than anything you’ll find on the rack! In this class, popular sewing instructor Amy Alan will start by helping you choose a sewing pattern suited for plaids, stripes or prints, estimate the yardage you’ll need and trace your pattern pieces for matching. Then, she’ll get into the nitty-gritty of how to match fabric patterns. You’ll find out how to identify the type of stripes or plaids you’re working with and create pattern layouts for matching these and other patterns with confidence. Want to go beyond pattern-matching basics? Amy will even show you how to use the bias grain of your fabric to create pockets, plackets and cuffs. Plus, bring it all together with step-by-step guidance for keeping your patterns matched as you sew straight seams, curved seams and even invisible zipper seams.
