This class is not a fitting class BUT we have chosen patterns that are very inclusive and cover XXS to 5XL.  We can only assist with small pattern changes and grading between sizes.  We will say that stretch sewing is much more forgiving than woven!

An overlocker is not essential but will give you the best finish - to use your overlocker in class you need to have completed a relevant class  If using a standard sewing machine then a walking foot is required to achieve a quality finish.
