Learn how at an Extension-sponsored workshop on Monday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Claverack Electric. Irene James, nationally known home economist instructor and author, will present her own fitting techniques in the four hour workshop, “Alterations By The Number.” Your fitting questions will be answered in detail in Irene’s workshop as she handles many pattern alteration problems and pattern types. Everyone par ticipates on scale patterns and learns together. She shows “Fit ting-by-the-Numbers” using the skills of any designer or pattern grader: Pivot and Slide. These techniques can be used on any pattern style. Everyone in attendance will be measured for their correct pattern size, the first and most important “Number’ ’ in her fitting system. The other numbers Irene will explain completely are: 1. What are your own individual alteration changes? 2. How much ease is allowed in every pattern you make? 3. How do you place the guide numbers on your pattern? 4. How can you follow these numbers to alter for both length and width? Using this system and par ticipating in the workshop will allow anyone to have a closet full of clothes that fit them!
