Pamela Leggett: Secrets to Sewing Great Shapewear

2023: October 22

Pamela Leggett has been teaching sewing since 1981, specializing in pattern fitting, fine garment sewing skills, knits and serging. but it was her passion and commitment to creating garments that fit and flatter real women that led her to design her first pattern in 2005. Pamela recognized that many of her students were making the same pattern adjustments to commercial patterns over and over. So, she took matters into her own hands and started creating patterns with the most common fitting adjustments already built in. The result? A better fit right out of the envelope!

But, if the pattern fits, why shapewear? Simple! Because shapewear creates a smoother, sleeker silhouette, allowing your clothes to fit better, hang better and look better! And who doesn’t want to look and feel better?

Why make your own? COMFORT!! Shapewear doesn’t need to squish your fluff or constrict your breathing. Making your own puts you in control of the control! Plus, it’s easy, inexpensive and fun to sew your own.

Pamela will show you how to create three types of garments – an under bust cami (you can still wear your own bra!), high waisted undies and a slimming, control-top slip. She’ll also share her secrets to sewing with stretchy lingerie fabrics, elastics and trims. You’ll be sure to learn something new in this informative presentation.
