| Summary |
"Think of how happy, proud, and accomplished you feel when you have sewn an outfit, it fits, and you love it. Many people struggle with the standard sizing of commercial or indie sewing patterns. The standard measurements often lead to fitting issues. This garment fitting guide will help you adjust sewing patterns to achieve the perfect fit you desire. This fitting book covers tops, pants, and skirts. There are visual sketches and links to simple videos to help during each step of the 3-part fitting process. Here's how it works: A) Identify the fitting issue. B) Pin, cut, & tape the fitting sample. C) Correct the sewing pattern. Stop wasting time and money sewing clothes that don't fit well. It's time to sew clothes you love that fit." - back cover. |
