SUMMARY:Simple to Simply Amazing - Online with OSQE
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to continue collaborating with the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo to present a series of online classes with Rae Cumbie! \nIn Simple to Simply Amazing Rae talks about simplifying your wardrobe construction by starting with a few basic patterns that suit your personal curves and sense of style. Basic does not mean boring and if you think about it\, knowing how each garment fits and is constructed takes a lot of the unknowns out of the process. By sewing with known patterns\, you are free to experiment with new embellishment techniques and new fabrics. This allows you to focus on creating a series of sensational ensembles. \nRegister through OSQE: online at sewingexpo.com/OnlineClasses or call their registration office (M-F 10-3 ET) at 440-899-3973 or 440-899-4377.

SUMMARY:Licensing Seminar for Eureka! Pants Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Fit for Art is very excited to announce that our 2019 Licensing Seminar will be held in conjunction with the annual educational conference of the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals.  If you aren’t already a member\, this will give you the opportunity to meet and network with sewing professionals from all over the country while training to become a licensed Eureka! Pants Professional.  Consider joining ASDP in advance to take advantage of early registration  and discounted prices for members only.  The Seminar will be taught by pants fitting experts Rae Cumbie and Sarah Veblen commencing at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday\, October 15th through Saturday afternoon\, October 19th. \nRegistration for members opened on April 15th and will open to non-members on June 15th.  Visit the ASDP Website for conference details and registration.  Registration for the Licensing Seminar will include full access to the core conference\, so you can join in the welcoming reception\, keynote speaker luncheon\, beloved Fashion Show featuring both a member showcase and Threads Challenge entries\, and Sunday conference classes. \nYou are welcome to contact us if you have questions about the Licensing Seminar.  Please direct general conference questions to ASDP. \nEnjoy this reprint of a testimonal from the ASDP Newsletter in 2017 \nOne of the things I love the most about ASDP is the never-ending information sharing among our members. I recently received an email from a member who was curious about Fit for Art’s licensing seminar for Eureka! Pants that Fit. In my response\, I was able to share with her how valuable this tool\, created by three ASDP members (Rae Cumbie\, Carrie Emerson\, and Sarah Veblen)\, has been to my business and my skill set. And then I thought it might be helpful to reach out to some other licensees so we could share our experiences with the greater ASDP membership. \nUnlike other pants patterns\, the Eureka! pattern comes in a range of sizes AND has three different backs for each size. This starting point\, with extensive horizontal balance lines (HBLs)\, allows each sewist to create a mock-up that that is the key to a great-fitting pant.  At the licensing seminar\, attendees have the opportunity to learn the ins-and-outs of fitting for themselves and for their clients of various shapes and sizes\, “All on real bodies\, [with] volunteers daily!” said licensee Cari Loschen of CariKim Couturier. \nBarbie McCormick of Sew Good already had extensive experience with patterns and fitting before attending the Eureka! licensing seminar. But after spending five days with the Fit for Art team she\, “learned SO much- So many nuances and tricks with adjusting and truing up pattern lines\, as well as so many ‘Aha!’ moments with fitting different bodies\, proper and improper pinning and pattern adjustments.” She went on to say\, “The Eureka! pants fitting pattern has so many attributes that I have never seen before (And I’ve been to many other pants fitting classes\, studied and used many pant drafting books) but make SO much sense! The seminar brought my understanding of pants and patterns to a whole new level!” \nI couldn’t agree more. I’d never been able to get my fit\, “just right.” There just always seemed to be something I wasn’t happy with. Now\, I not only have an excellent wardrobe of comfortable\, flattering pants\, in a variety of styles\, but I’m also able to bring that to my clients. Whether it’s a great fit in the crotch and hips (the key to the Eureka! method)\, selecting a waist treatment\, or placing darts\, this licensing seminar has you covered – all in a professional-but-fun environment. \nAnd speaking of the environment\, Rae\, Carrie\, and Sarah always make sure the licensing seminar is held in a wonderful space. There’s plenty of room to work with lots of light. All meals are provided and there’s even an on-site housing option for attendees who come from out of town. \nCari aptly summed up this great opportunity saying\, “Since attending the Eureka! Pants seminar\, I finally wear pants that fit!!  I’ve honed my pant fitting skills\, but most importantly I’ve been able to bring an innovative pattern and fitting technique to my area. Sign up. Go. Get fearless about pant fitting too!  You’ll be glad you did!  It’s a fantastic hands-on learning experience!” \nTo learn more about Eureka! Pants that Fit and the licensing seminar  visit fitforartpatterns.com. \n  \nEdye Sanford \nDesigns from the Edge Custom Clothing \nPresident\, Baltimore Chapter of ASDP \nedyesanford.com \nJanuary 31\, 2017

SUMMARY:Tabula Rasa Knits\, The Basics and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Expand your wardrobe with a variety of well fitting knit Tees and Tunics over two inspiring days stitching up Tabula Rasa Knit Tops with Rae Cumbie.   After a trunk show of knit possibilities\, students will be guided to choose the appropriate size and pattern pieces\, cut their knit fabric\, sew flexible seams\, and smoothly finish the necklines and hems.  The second day will allow for more sewing and an exploration of finishing techniques to add variety to your knit wardrobe.  If  you have already taken the basic knit class\, spend these two days working on your knit variations\, adding collars\, cuffs\, embellishments and cross over styles to your knits. \nThe line up of students in their Tabula Rasa Knits at Capital Quilts
