It sounds like every woman’s dream come true – a unique design for ladies’ pants that make women look noticeably thinner, trimmer and smoother around the middle. And now you can learn to create your own patterns in a unique course at Georgian College’s Barrie Campus.

Georgian instructor Maria Calautti used a unique method to design “Cynch It” pants, which make women look noticeably smoother around the middle. She teaches the method in Georgian College’s European Patternmaking course.

Maria Calautti developed “Cynch It” pants using the European Patternmaking method. She says the pants are adjustable and very flattering to the figure, no matter what size or age of the woman wearing them. Calautti teaches European Patternmaking, a Continuing Education course at Georgian. The course incorporates a method of drafting custom patterns used in Italy for decades and offers participants everything they need to know to create garments – without mathematical calculations.

“The European patternmaking method is very simple,” says Calautti. “It’s rewarding to create and wear clothes designed for your own body and that fit your unique tastes and lifestyle.” Not to mention making you look 15 to 20 pounds lighter!

The pants will be manufactured and distributed by Toronto-based Beker Fashions, with a local retailer still to be announced.
