SUMMARY:New Mexico Garment Designer Retreat 2026
DESCRIPTION:From Fabric/Yarn to Garment\nGarment Designer Retreat\nAugust 21st – 25th\, 2026\nCimarron\, New Mexico \n$420.00 \nThe Casa\, site of your 2025 Design Retreat.\nWe are continuing our tradition of truly retreating in an amazing location and spending focused time with Garment Designer. So\, we return to Cimarron\, New Mexico and the 100-year-old inn we have grown to love. \nSkill Level: All you really need is computer comfort and some sewing experience. It is advisable to get the software in advance and have experimented with it a bit\, but even this is not critical.  Those with more advanced Garment Designer Skills will simply work at a higher and faster level. \nWe are continuing our tradition of truly retreating in an amazing location and spending focused time with Garment Designer software for pattern making. So\, we return to Cimarron\, New Mexico and the 100+ year-old inn we have grown to love. \nThis year our theme is called ‘From Fabric/Yarn to Garment’. The focus of the retreat is to walk you through the design process of translating your chosen fabrics or yarns to a garment (and pattern) that suits the fabric and your figure. \nStudents will be asked to bring two to four different fabrics or yarn swatches\, each with a different hand and weight. These can be commercial fabrics\, handwoven\, hand knit\, machine knit or crochet swatches. \nFrom Fabric through the Design Process to Pattern\nWe will begin with an overview of fabrics and the role they play in your design. Susan will have samples for you to see and touch\, and together we will determine how those fabrics are going to play a role in decisions made for garment design and Garment Designer pattern work. \nAfter a brief figure analysis exercise\,  you will combine those results with the knowledge you gained from the fabric exercise and begin to plan the perfect garment. Students will choose an inspiration (from online or other)\, and using their personal measurements\, sketch and plan a garment. The last step will be to build the pattern in Garment Designer and if there is time\,  test the results. \nYou will repeat the process for a second garment using a different fabric. In addition\, you will learn how to modify a pattern you have created for a one fabric to work with a different type of fabric that has its own unique characteristic. \nThe skills you learn in this workshop will serve you well for future projects. You will be better equipped to know how your fabric plays a role in the styles you choose. You will also be more familiar with the process one goes through in garment and pattern development. \nYou will love learning more about the abilities of Garment Designer. In addition to the hands-on workshop\, moving from project to project\, there will be lots of talk on design\, creativity\, etc. You will be free to work into the wee hours of the night\, as we have taken over an area of the Inn. We do take a partial day to explore the city of Taos for its fashion\, fabric and yarn. There is lots of inspiration there. \nHere is the flyer for the Retreat (which includes the re. \nHere is the registration form.\nSpace is limited. You can submit the form via email or mail\, and pay for the Retreat here in our Shopify store or by Zelle\, Venmo\, or check. \nClick here to go to our web store to sign up

SUMMARY:New Mexico Garment Designer Workshop/Retreat
DESCRIPTION:August 21st – 25th\, 2025\nCimarron\, New Mexico \nStudents at work!\nThe Casa\, site of your 2025 Design Retreat.\nWe are continuing our tradition of truly retreating in an amazing location and spending focused time with Garment Designer.

So\, we return to Cimarron\, New Mexico and the 100-year-old inn we have grown to love. \nSkill Level: All you really need is computer comfort and some sewing experience. It is advisable to get the software in advance and have experimented with it a bit\, but even this is not critical.  Those with more advanced Garment Designer Skills will simply work at a higher and faster level. \nThis year our theme is called ‘One Plus One = Two’. We will focus on how to design two ‘top’ garments that can be worn together. Typically this would be a top and a jacket\, but you can choose to use any other top style you like such as a camisole\, sweater\, vest\, etc. \nStudents will be asked to bring fabric/yarn samples for these projects as we will discuss the role a fabric plays while making decisions about the styles you choose to create. Ease\, Drape\, and Style compatibility are all considerations that need to be determined prior to building a pattern. \nYour first garment will be the Top\, and through the creation of the pattern for this\, and then\, the building of a full-scale paper pattern\, we can test fit and style. If you bring some muslin\, this can be stitched for even better results. We will evaluate the garment and make adjustments should you need them. It is a great skill to know how to take changes back to your Garment Designer pattern. \nOnce the first garment is set\, you will proceed to design the second garment bearing in mind that the two pieces will be worn together. Often\, this requires some basic changes to certain areas of the second garment if it is to be worn over the first. \nThe skills you learn in this workshop will serve you well for future projects. You will experience a great mix of design considerations used to create a successful project. \nYou will love learning more about the abilities of Garment Designer. In addition to the hands-on workshop\, moving from project to project\, there will be lots of talk on design\, creativity\, etc. You will be free to work into the wee hours of the night\, as we have taken over an area of the Inn.
