LOL From way back when in the dark ages when I sewed more than anything else I learned a sloper was a basic pattern from which you worked modifications. For example I have a slopers of jackets, coats, skirts, dresses, etc. They are all made of muslin and technically I could wear each one...they are actually basic garments from which others are created all made to my personal measurements. And then seperate pattern pieces are made from the sloper. Sometimes people just pull out the seams and use the original but I'd rather cut more pieces than undo the sewing once it's done. <BG> Or say you wanted a dressmaker to sew a dress for you, you'd pick out a commerical pattern and give it to her, then often times she would take your measurements, adjust the paper pattern and then make the garment out of muslin for the first fitting. this muslin garment being called a sloper. <br><br>Here's a link to explain it better than I<br><br>http://www.sew-whats-new.com/sewinglessons/sloper.shtml<br><br>Hope your sloper and the sloper that the instructor wants are the same thing!!!<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006671676989020553.post-65042940354485468342006-07-06T01:06:00.000-04:002006-07-06T01:06:00.000-04:00Dee,Your sloper looks great!
