As it is, it's a good time filler as well as a good way to burn through a lot of classes quickly.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-4466395794731197532015-10-11T17:20:18.195+01:002015-10-11T17:20:18.195+01:00Oh! that is a good point.

I will have to think about that.<br /><br />I am also wondering about how well the bodice sloper will work for me given how far I am off the "norm" -- not quite to the extent that you are I know, but far enough! I have not looked at the class properly, though. If it does princess seam slopers at all I will definitely DEFINITELY be doing it.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-21201220775236610292015-10-11T17:15:34.906+01:002015-10-11T17:15:34.906+01:00I'm sure it is their strategy!

However, I have since discovered that you can speed up the video, so maybe I should try it again.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-47039924876536701562015-10-11T17:14:18.022+01:002015-10-11T17:14:18.022+01:00You're welcome!You're welcome!westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-77780626887916790052015-10-10T22:16:52.221+01:002015-10-10T22:16:52.221+01:00Thanks for the summary.

I'm looking forward to getting back to it.<br /><br />FWIW, I'm not much of a skirt wearer myself, but I'm actually interested in the drafting exercises for the sake of learning how to do it. Kind of like learning how to make a souffle, even if you don't plan to make souffles all that often. In any case, as Suzy says (and as others in the SBC have done), you'll need the skirt sloper if you move on to the bodice sloper and want to combine your drafted bodice with a skirt to make a dress. And I DO wear dresses. Success with the bodice sloper class seems to be a bit more dependent on your body being closer to industry standards (which mine isn't), so we'll see how that goes.

She's a very clear instructor, to the point, but also has a good sense of humor which pops up now and then. I imagine I'll end up buying a few of her classes so I can keep referring to them. Which is probably Craftsy's strategy with this pass!
