Chapter Update: Colorado

06/03/2016 6:22 PM | Anonymous

We have had a busy Winter/Spring.  February found us learning how and when to fix our furs, led by our own Dot Treece.  In March we started to learn some basics of fashion sketching with Carol Kimball.  Our chapter also hosted a three Saturday workshop with Clara Dittli on the fine art of the couture skirt. In the workshop we had two snow storms and one rainy day, but we didn’t let a little spring snow get in our way. 


Clara taught us how to draft our own pattern, how to mark our fabric with our seam allowances, thread marking, basting, underlining, lining, zipper, waistband and hem techniques.  Clara apprenticed in a Haute Couture Atelier where she learned couture sewing, pattern drafting, draping and fashion illustration. Clara continued her career as a fashion designer and consultant in some of Zurich’s finest houses.  In 1985, she moved to Denver and established her own couture Studio.
