I used to be intimidated about fitting pants to my curvy frame, but Janice’s workshop was a total game-changer. The Palmer/Pletch method is pure genius—adjusting the pattern for your shape first saves fitting stress and fabric! Janice is a wealth of knowledge, and I’ve already started applying her techniques to my other projects. Spending four days swapping stories with fellow sewistas was pure joy.

I just finished the pant fitting workshop. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this course. Janice has a positive and supportive teaching manner. No fitting challenge was too much for her. I also gained confidence in my sewing skills because Janice has so many helpful tips.
