      I’ve been to this workshop and found it excellent. You come away with 3 slopers (bodice, skirt and pants) that fit and the knowledge how to make pattern adjustments using the seam method. It really works! Below is the email from Judith announcing they have a couple of spaces in their November and December retreats and there’s a discount on the November class.

      Discounts for November…

      Plans don’t always go as they should. One of two sisters registered for the November 4-9session of the Fabulous Fit & Fashion Retreat has just learned that she has an aggressive cancer and absolutely must begin chemotherapy and radiation immediately! Our empathy and prayers go out for her. So of course, we will postpone their Retreat until she has recovered.

      In the meantime, that leaves us with too few participants for the November session. If possible, we want those two spots filled to provide more experience for our other participants and to make our time apply to more participants. With time so short, I’ll shave off $300 from tuition to cover higher airfare. Southwest Airlines is often more affordable. If you want to pull this off, call me ASAP at 801-224-1207 and leave your name and number. I’ll call you back as soon as I get back to that office.

      Best Regards,

      Judith

      Don’t let this happen to you: Women quit fashion sewing because they’re still using the old slash method of alteration on uneven amounts of change. It doesn’t work.

      “I cannot even begin to tell you how much time, money, hope and dreams I have spent over the past few years in the area of pattern fitting. I am actually on the verge of giving up, but am willing to try one more time.” –Sandra

      Hi Mary. Wish I had seen this sooner. I have always wanted to take this course, but the website is so obtuse it is hard to figure out if and when they are actually still giving the classes. I hope to run into you one of these days at an ASG event so I can get more feedback from you on this class.

      You’re right about their website! It’s really unfortunate. Your best bet is to call them 801-224-1207 and get on their email list. It’s well worth the trip to Utah!

      I have been using Judith’s books as reference for a couple of decades now–and she is THAT good.  Too bad I’m teaching here on some of those days or I would go.
