A fitting sloper is a basic, closely fitting pattern that you refine until it fits your body really well. Think of it as your personal blueprint, crafted just for you (and by you!), with your unique measurements and curves.

Using a sloper helps you to skip endless fitting rounds every time you try a new pattern. Fit your sloper once, and then use it to alter new patterns, or even create new designs that you know will fit you!

You will LOVE Sloper School if…

• You are tired of spending tons of time fitting new patterns when you could be designing or sewing
• You’ve struggled to learn to fit, because you need to go beyond the “standard” adjustments covered in most books and tutorials
• You’ve found it hard to learn to fit alone, and want personal feedback from fitting expert Jenny Rushmore and her team, and to be able to get support from other people going through the same process
• You’ve tried to make a sloper but given up because most traditional “draft it yourself” techniques don’t work well for curvy or busty bodies
• You like the idea of making a custom-fit sloper, but you don’t understand how to use it to make other patterns, or adjust new patterns to fit.

Yes! Sloper School is designed for sewists who are working solo from home—no fitting buddy or mannequin needed.

Yes! Each week in Sloper School you'll learn how to create a beautiful custom fit in your sloper, from Jenny Rushmore, best-selling author and curvy fit expert. Not only will you get easy to follow videos you can watch (and re-watch) anytime and a downloadable workbook, but you'll also have direct access to Jenny and her team to get personal advice, just for you.

A fitting sloper is a basic, closely fitted pattern that you refine until it fits your body really well—and then you can use it to adjust other sewing patterns to fit you without endless rounds of muslins, or you can use it to create infinite different looks through hacking techniques.

Unlike my previous online workshops, Sloper School runs in sessions, and enrollment happens in a limited timeframe. The course runs for 11 weeks and after it ends, you’ll have unlimited access to all the materials.

Sloper School enrollment opens in April 2025!

While it’s ideal to keep up with the lessons every week to make the most of the live Fit Clinics and community discussion, everything will be recorded and you can come back any time later to work at your own pace. That means you’ll have over 25 hours of online instruction that you can also refer back to at any time in the future!

This is a great course for sewists at any stage of their fitting journey, even if you’ve never tried fitting before! However, you will need to know how to do basic sewing.

Yes! Sloper School is designed for sewists who are working solo from home. But between the whole student community online, and the Cashmerette team, you’ll never feel alone in your fitting journey! I assume you’re working on this by yourself at home—but you’ll have a whole community online helping you, too.

This course is open to everyone! You can enroll in Sloper School for a one-time payment of $175 USD. But if you’re a Club member, it’s even better! All Access club members can enroll for free, and monthly Base & Plus members get a discount—see your Club Dashboard for more details.

Yes, the course is entirely online and open to anyone around the world. For the live Fit Clinics, I’ll be holding them at 2pm and 8:30pm ET to try to maximize the chance everyone can participate, and they’ll also be recorded so you can watch them later if you weren’t able to join live.
