5th Saturday: Lorraine Torrence
July 29, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
National speaker Lorraine Torrence will present Creative Clothing for Every Body followed by It’s all in the Details.
Creative Clothing for Every Body is a lecture, trunk show and discussion of how we can all choose clothing that flatters our body types and make us look better. The presentation includes a discussion of the main three things that garment-makers have to think about: Color, Style and Fit and ways we can improve on all of these things. This three hour segment will be followed by a one hour lunch break. Lunch is on your own.
It’s all in the Details is a Power Point Slide presentation of all of the small but powerful details that can turn a ho-hum garment into a dynamite garment! Lorraine will share garment-changing details such as decorative darts & dart placement, non-traditional buttonholes, spectacular covered buttons, and edge finishes. Members are encouraged to bring a garment and questions so we can brainstorm on improvements. Up-cycling will also be discussed.
$25 event cost must be mailed to Darlene Hawkey-Cruikshank to hold your spot. Limited to Milwaukee Chapter ASG Members. The presentations are 3 hours each separated by a hour one lunch break.
