SUMMARY:Four Core Patterns - One Great Wardrobe
DESCRIPTION:Create a modern wardrobe for all seasons and occasions from four core patterns! Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson of Fit for Art Patterns will present a trunk show that illustrates how a little imagination can lead to an entire wardrobe of great fitting styles: a core wardrobe of comfortable and flattering jackets\, pants\, dresses\, tunics and knit tops\, all using Fit for Art’s easy-to-construct patterns that come with excellent step-by-step instructions. The trunk show will last approximately 1 to 1-1/2 hours and include sample core wardrobes for all seasons and occasions made from the Tabula Rasa Jacket\, Eureka! Pants that Fit\, Carpe Diem Dress & Tunic\, and Tabula Rasa Knit Tee & Tunic patterns and variations.        Following the trunk show\, Rae and Carrie are accepting individual private fitting appointments\, during which they will use their fitting shells to determine your correct size for either the Jacket or Knit Tee & Tunic\, providing you with recommended pattern modifications. (A Fit for Art Pants fitting opportunity may be offered at a future date.)  Please register with Artistic Artifacts.
