You have so many questions about the \"how's\" and \"why's \"of the basic techniques and principles that go into garment construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop guides you through the foundational, essential elements that go into quality garment construction. These concepts and methods are used in every garment, from beginner to advanced projects, and are the \"unsung heroes\" of garment construction. They directly contribute to the final shape, structure, and quality of your project. Once you have a strong understanding of these principles, you can confidently apply them to every project, and they will enhance even a beginner's project to a more professional standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis virtual class is a hands-on lecture session, with in-depth demonstrations, where you will be guided through the creation of your own technique samples.
