As I find more, I will add more to this list. Whenever possible, I will link to the tutorial as well.

Sloper Muslin Week 4: Creating Blocks
This week we will be adding various amount of ease to our perfectly fitted slopers! We have a fitted block, now you can decide how much ease you like in your garments, and add the ease.
Now, you will redraft your pieces using ease for various fits. You have a perfect fitted sloper, now make semi-fitted, loose, jacket, and whatever fits that your heart desires!
Sloper Muslin Week 1: Gather Materials and Add Seam Allowance
As mentioned in an earlier post, be sure to have your wearing ease added into your flat pattern for your sloper. At this point, you will be adding seam allowances so that you can sew together your muslin.
It is really quite self explanatory, but below are a few tutorials on adding seam allowance. There is also a link to a double tracing wheel which can be quite handy when adding seem allowances.
What you will need:
- Muslin or another inexpensive woven (nonstretch) fabric
- Sewing machine or hand needle
- Fabric marker, pencil, or chalk (two of your choice) or as an alternative to these, you may want to use a tracing wheel and tracing paper ,
- Masking tape
- Pins
- Rubber Bands
I actually would read through these next few sets of links before you purchase anything.
Now on to adding seam allowance!

Sloper Muslin Week 2: Sewing Sloper Muslins
Now you have your pattern made. This week we will be cutting and sewing.
If you chose to use the two pencils to add seam allowance, you may want to mark the allowance on your sewing machine with rubber bands, tape, or magnets that are designed for this purpose.
