Pattern Drafting Challenge Introduction

JOIN US FOR A PATTERN DESIGN CHALLENGE:
If you are looking to design your own clothes or to achieve a better fit using commercial patterns, you should join the Sewing Inspiration and Tutorials's Pattern Drafting Challenge Series.  This will be a challenge series that will take you from body measurements to well fit garments.  THIS IS VERY BEGINNER FRIENDLY!
Below, you will find the plan for the challenge.  We have already started it in our sewing group, but feel free to join at any time.  (I actually haven't started yet.) Excuse the fact that all the posts are late, please.  We didn't have but one participant and I think she has passed me up!

For the September Challenge, we will be drafting our slopers:

October Challenge- make a muslin
