Lorraine is a specialist in sewing, fitting and pattern alteration for Conselle Institute of Image Management. She has been an avid sewist since 6 years old.
With a B.S degree in Clothing and Textiles Lorraine has been a university instructor and has taught classes nationally and internationally at sewing related shows. Teaching newest method of pattern alteration and fit is her favorite thing to do. She is the creator of the Two Easy Measuring tape set with an instruction booklet which has been an aid for achieving a good fit for fashion sewers throughout the world. She has also written articles on pattern alteration for Sew News Magazine. With 40+ years of experience as a custom dressmaker/tailor and teacher, Lorraine has a wealth of knowledge to share with us about sewing and fit.
Lorraine will present a 4 hour workshop on fitting jackets, tops, skirts and of course pants! Sewing machines will not be needed, as she will be using half scale patterns made on heavier paper to practice alteration techniques as a learning tool. You don’t want to miss spending the day with this master seamstress!
