If you want to sew clothes that look and feel like a million bucks, start with a made-to-measure muslin.
At 6’2’’, Robyn Burgess struggled to find clothes that fit both her inseam and her bold style. Tired of never feeling comfortable in the clothes she owned and constantly contributing to the fast fashion industry, Robyn decided to start making her own clothes. What began as a side project has turned into an entire custom-made wardrobe and a sewing blog beloved by a community of other curious, fashion-forward creatives. 
Now, with years of stylish pieces under her belt, she’s ready to teach you how to fill your closet with your own handmade clothes.  After today you can say goodbye to compromising on the fit of your clothes and hello to garments that are tailored fit to your body all with the help of a made-to-measure muslin. You’ll learn how to tailor your garment in all the right places so that everything you make has you feeling comfortable and confident.  
In this class, you’ll discover how to adjust a pattern to flatter your unique figure as well as create a true custom fit muslin.
