Highlights of the Sure Fit Designs Retreat: A week of Fun, Fitting & Friendship

There's something truly magical that happens when creative minds gather in one place and the recent Sure Fit Designs Retreat was no exception. For six inspiring days, participants from near and far came together to learn the art of fitting and pattern making.

From the moment participants began to check into the hotel, the hotel became alive with excitement. The front desk noticed the excited energy and began to believe that we all must be celebrities. Throughout the retreat, the heart of the experience was fitting-both garments and connections. Smiles lit up faces as muslins transformed into custom test fitting garments and fitting challenges became triumphs.

There were plenty of "aha moments and a lot of helpful tips shared. But beyond the sewing successes, what stood out most was the sense of support and celebration in the room. Everyone cheered each other on.

My favorite moments were the realization of having brought everyone together and just listening to the excited chatter as everyone was working and sitting down enjoying lunch together. I've learned alot about how you use our pattern making tools, and have gained insight on how to coach you all moving forward.
