Come a meet our newest instructor, Lauren Gayle Seal. Lauren graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in California with a BFA in Apparel Design, but her real love is textiles. You can read more about later this week in The Teachers section on our Website.

Lauren will be discussing how to pick the correct fabric for a pattern. I am sure this is an issue for many of us that sew. We love a piece of fabric, the feel, the drape, the colors but we wind up with a garment that just doesn’t drape or hang the way we expected.

I think of a sewing project as having three major pre-project planning components: selecting a flattering pattern, sizing for a proper fit, and selecting the right fabric for your garment.

This is a free talk and demo. You are welcome to bring one pattern and one fabric choice for discussion.. We can’t guarantee that Lauren will be able to evaluate everyone’s pattern/fabric choices, but each one she talks about will add to everyone’s knowledge base.
