In this lesson, I taught how to create a very close-fitting jersey sloper through draping.

I demonstrated the process for both the front and back pieces, focusing on achieving a tight fit while maintaining proper alignment of center lines and key body points.

Lesson Steps:

1. Prepare the jersey fabric with grid lines and center markings
2. Pin the fabric to the dress form, starting with the center front
3. Secure key points like apex, shoulders, and neckline
4. Stretch and pin the fabric to achieve a tight fit, focusing on the waist area
5. Adjust and refine the fit, ensuring center lines remain straight
6. Mark the hemline and remove the front piece
7. Repeat the process for the back piece, starting with center back alignment
8. Stretch and pin the back piece, paying attention to curves and fit
9. Mark key lines (bust, waist, hip) on both pieces
10. Remove the draped pieces and prepare for pattern creation
11. Make any necessary corrections to match lengths and measurements
12. Use the resulting sloper to create various close-fitting jersey garments
