Hissy Fit+

This class has some abstract thinking and is for Intermediate-Advanced students who have experience and good working knowledge of sewing construction and patterns.

Fussy Cutting Fabric

1 Hour Class

HEY HOME SEWERS!  We'll review how to properly get measurements of yourself, have a "good" baseline for pattern fitting, discuss ease and how it applies to different garments, review the basics of printed pattern modification and how to determine needed mods from your measurements, a few methods of pattern alteration, and what your body type is so you know which patterns work best for you!

This is a great opportunity for new sewers, crafters who are interested in fashion sewing, or anyone who wants to get a better fit out of their home-sewn garments. Bring a pattern you have a question on or need a few pointers!

PLEASE wear or bring a tight fitting tank top or t-shirt to wear during the measuring process, and wear the undergarments you normally would wear under the type of clothing you are constructing (shirt, dress, etc). If you have exercise shorts or yoga pants to wear for measuring the hips, that would result in a more accurate measurement than with jeans or loose pants.

Bring a pencil & paper to take notes, and a pattern you have questions about!

FAQs

We're working with scissors, pins, needles, hot irons and a machine...is there a chance of injuring myself?

YES!!!! If you are not paying attention or using care, it is possible to stab, cut, poke, burn or maim yourself with some of the items we use in class. HISS STUDIO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED DURING CLASS. Please be mindful of the tools you are using, and use at your own risk! By purchasing tickets you acknowledge HISS STUDIO, office location, the instructors and staff are NOT RESPONSIBLE for injuries sustained during class. Thanks!

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, you can also flash your receipt on your smart-thingy when you arrive.

What is the refund policy?

Classes are non-refundable. If you need to miss a class due to a scheduling conflict, please contact the organizer in advance to reschedule. We will do our best to accommodate last minute emergencies, but please be respectful of the instructor's and fellow students and only reschedule when absolutely necessary. No-shows WITHOUT PRIOR CONTACT BEFORE CLASS for rescheduling will NOT BE RESCHEDULED and your ticket will not be repurposed.

 Please arrive 5 min early for class, arrivals later than 10 min from the schedule start time will be considered a no-show

In order to be respectful and have a full class session for all, PLEASE arrive 5 minutes early for class. This allows time for setup and settling in so we can start promptly. The building is secured, so your late arrival means disrupting class for others to admit your entry. If you are later than 10 minutes to class, you will be considered a no-show, we will not pause class to unlock the building, and you will need to reschedule your class at your own expense. We have recently had many, many students showing up late to class, and it not only disrupts the class in session, but throws off the entire schedule the rest of the day.

Please be respectful and be on time.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

Yes, if you can't make a class or want to buy a class for a friend, that's ok. If you can let us know in advance, that'd be great, if not, make sure you or your friend can reference who bought the ticket so we know it wasn't stolen or hacked.
