Description
Come Sew With Us at Sewing Camp!
Prerequisite: Palmer/Pletsch Fit Workshop or equivalent tissue-fitting experience.
Have you ever dreamed of getting together with other sewing enthusiasts to sew for five full days and to work on anything you want to create? You will get excellent fitting help. The goal of this “open sewing” class is to sew any garment you’d like help with. Demonstrations are given as needed or requested. Watch them only if you wish.
If you’ve had your colors done, bring your palette. If you want your colors done or updated be sure to contact Image Consultant Ethel Harms in plenty of time to schedule a pre-workshop color analysis. (See the bring list for contact info for Ethel.)
The workshop includes lunches.
This class is held at Sew-Op + Maker Space in Vancouver, WA, across the Columbia River from Portland, OR.
For Portlanders who don’t often cross the river, it’s easy. Traveling north on I-5, take Mill Plain exit toward Port of Vancouver, stay in the left lane. (The far left lane is not Mill Plain.) Turn left at light and move to the right lane. You are now on 15th Street. Turn right on Broadway. Sew-Op is in the green building on right—the first building you come to.
There is 2-hour free street parking in front of Sew-Op and extended parking four blocks east. For closer parking download the convenient Parking Kitty app. Use this City of Vancouver Parking Map to find more parking locations.

Now, with just the hip measurement and the help of Pants for REAL People, by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto, women of all sizes, shapes, and ages can try on the tissue-paper pattern to see how to fit the pants they sew. Tissue-fitting, a technique devised and perfected by Palmer/Pletsch over three decades of hands-on teaching, has never before appeared in print for pants.
