Really happy to have taken this class. At this point I just watched it as you would read through a pattern prior to starting a project. I will have to do a sew along with some muslin and then launch into creativity. Really looking forward to expanding on these skills we learned.

Cal Patch makes garment-making look so easy and accessible. I don't have a fabric stash, so I just followed along with the pattern-making. I'll go fabric shopping for a wearable mock-up and a basic tee to start with, and then go to town from there.
