In this free demonstration, Lala Sondjaja shows how to alter unisex/men's t-shirts to fit better. From armholes to necklines, hems, and even bust darts, Lala breaks down the process of assessing and addressing t-shirt fit issues. Working solo (as so many of us do when trying to fit clothes), she fits onto a woman's body (her own body), but you can take the same concepts and apply them to anyone's body. Lala also briefly discusses and demonstrates sewing with knit fabrics.

In this free demonstration, Julia John shows how to pattern a pair of drawstring pants directly from your body. By tracing the body directly to the pattern paper, you can feel free to experiment with styles and silhouettes and to engage fully with the process of patternmaking. The pants — ideal for dancing on the sidewalk, walking the dog, or snuggling up on a Saturday — can be made from many materials and are a great beginner project. Participants will have opportunities to consider how to expand and extend these techniques while patterning other garments beyond this demonstration. This demonstration is excellent for tweens and teens (ages 10-15) but will benefit all, younger and older. It applies to all gender identities and body types.
