What We’ll Work On Together

March 22: 11:30 - 1:30 - Session 1: Body Mapping & Orientation
We start by grounding measurements in lived experience.
You will create a body map that helps you notice how you relate to different parts of your body and how that shows up during sewing and fitting. We will name and normalize dysphoria and dysmorphia, and build strategies for working through them without forcing or bypassing.

April 11: 11:00 - 2:00 - Session 2: Measuring for Fit (Not Size)

You will learn how to take measurements that actually matter for how you want garments to sit, move, and feel. We will focus on understanding your body’s proportions rather than trying to make them match a chart.

April 19: 11:30 - 1:30 - Session 3: Altering for Your Body & Expression

You will learn foundational alteration concepts that apply across patterns and garments. This includes adjusting for shape, ease, and intention, so your clothing supports how you want to be seen and how you want to feel.

Who This Is For

• Queer and trans folks

• Anyone whose body has never quite matched the pattern envelope

• Anyone who wants clothes to feel aligned, not corrected

You do not need to know exactly what you want your clothes to look like yet. You just need curiosity and a willingness to learn the process.

What to Expect

• You will not finish a garment during this series

• You will leave with the foundational tools to alter clothing and patterns independently

• You will gain clarity, confidence, and language around fit

• You will learn a repeatable process you can return to again and again

This is about skill-building, not speed.

Why This Series Exists

Standard sizing assumes a default body.
This series starts from the reality that bodies are varied, changing, and deeply personal.

Here, fit is not about fixing yourself.
It is about learning how to make clothing work for you.
