Workshop - Making the Grade: Zero Waste Grading Strategies

You are all in luck! Our community's very own Liz Haywood is bringing our next workshop, Making the Grade: Zero Waste Design Strategies to you live on September 6th, 2021.

Grading refers to the process of turning a sample size into additional smaller or larger sizes. This is a two hour long workshop discussing grading strategies for zero waste layouts.

We'll be covering:

- Traditional grading, including plus-sizes, with a refresher course on skirts, trousers and top/sleeves.

- The importance of your size chart.

- Why we should aim for an inclusive size range.

- Some ways to offer sizing flexibility in a zw pattern beyond an inclusive size range.

- How to fit-test your ZW grading.

- Grading extended sleeve and square-cut garments, as these are often used in zw.

- Some grading strategies for zero waste cutting layouts, with plenty of examples!

- Some examples of Liz's zw grading failures, and why.
