REGISTRATION FORM
shirt (noun) - a garment for the upper part of the body, typically having a collar, sleeves and a front opening.
blouse (noun) – a loosely fitting garment resembling a long shirt.
Let's take those mundane sounding garments and make them special. Start with a basic shirt or blouse pattern and
master the techniques for perfect collar points, collar stands, plackets, sleeves and cuffs. Then, play with design
details to make each new shirt a work of art.
Try some dart manipulation - move the darts, create princess seams or change the darts to tucks or gathers. Use contrived
lines to change necklines, hem shaping, yokes and bands. Learn to make a hidden button placket, change a collar and add
mystery binding, piping or ruffles. Draft sleeve variations and add details at the wrist with cuffs, bands, trim and buttons.
One great fitting shirt or blouse pattern can be made over and over and always look new. Bring several pieces of fabric – you
will want to try all these fun details - or shop in Portland's great fabric stores. (see "Optional Shopping Day" below)
Space is limited to 6 students to ensure individual attention. A $50 non-refundable deposit will reserve a space for you.
The workshop will be held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites - Portland South/Lake Oswego,
