Friends, the Custom-fit Software SIG of Philadelphia ASG will look at sewing for the changing seasons during a meeting in St. Davids from about 10:30 a.m. till 3 p.m. on Tuesday, September 10, 2013. We use computer software to design one-of-a-kind, individually fitted garments of which any maker can be proud.

When you turn the details of pattern design over to whichever type of software best meets your needs, you're on a great path! Think of having - for example - a pants pattern you can make in corduroy cut-offs, cool summer shorts, and swishy evening culottes. All derive from good measurements that the C-fS group can help you take and refine.

Want to copy something from RTW - and fit to you? We can help you analyze the software choices for sleeves, closures, drapes and other design elements and translate them into your own special clothes with your favorite fabrics. Your choices of fabric, design, and detail compliment your sewing skills to do the rest.

As usual, we’ll go to a local diner (great quiche!) for lunch.

You don’t have to own any particular software to come to Tuesday’s meeting. If you’re curious about how software can improve your garment design and fit, come and “talk sewing” with the Custom-fit Software group on Tuesday, September 10, in St. Davids.

For driving directions, email marjjensen@aol.com; to come on the Paoli/Thorndale SEPTA train, ask for directions to walk a block and a half from the St. Davids station to the meeting. Please RSVP if you’re planning to come; we may be able to arrange transport/car-pooling, as needed.
