Sarah Veblen Pants Fitting workshop in Western NY--outside of Rochester

March 19-20, 2009

PANTS FITTING WORKSHOP -- Hosted by Kim K. in Victor, New York

If you’ve had trouble developing a pants pattern for yourself, this class is for you! And Kim K. has graciously offered to host this two-day pants fitting workshop in her home in Victor, New York (near Rochester).

You can bring your own mock-up(s) of pants you’re interested in, and Sarah will do the fitting. Or you can try on mock-ups of three different pants styles that Sarah has already made up – then you and Sarah can decide which style is the best place to start for your figure. Fitting pants is a process, not a one-shot deal: often it’s best not to make too many alterations at once, in order to track what is working to obtain a better fit and what is not. So after Sarah has conducted a fitting on you, you will make the pattern changes and either make a new mock-up or change your existing mock-up, depending on the extent and type of alteration(s) necessary. Then Sarah will fit you again, starting to fine-tune the fit.

We will meet from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day. Muffins, coffee, and tea will be provided at the beginning of each day; lunch is on your own.

For those of you traveling from out of town, Kim has provided the following information. Victor, New York, is essentially at Exit 45 of the New York State Thruway (I-90). There are four nice hotels located within three miles of Kim’s house: Microtel, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Best Western. For restaurants, there is Eastview Mall about three miles away, plus quite a number of chain establishments (Uno’s, Olive Garden, Burger King, etc.). Directions to Kim’s house will be provided after registration.
