Imagine the joy and pride of donning an outfit you've personally crafted for the very first time. It's all about that perfect fit that resonates with you.
For many women, grappling with the standard sizes of commercial or independent sewing patterns often leads to fitting challenges. Enter this guide, designed to empower you to tweak sewing patterns and attain that impeccable fit you crave.
This comprehensive guide provides visual illustrations and links to instructional videos for each stage of the 3-part fitting process. Here's a breakdown:
A) Identify the Fitting Issue.
B) Pin, Cut, & Tape the Fitting Sample.
C) Correct the Sewing Pattern.
"The Fitting Book" addresses a range of pattern alterations:
- Full Bust Adjustments (FBA) – Adjustments for bodices with princess seams, darts, or no darts.
- Small Bust Adjustments (SBA) – Tailoring for bodices with princess seams, darts, or no darts.
- Armscye and sleeve alterations.
- Front width, back, and shoulder pattern adjustments.
- Neckline pattern corrections.
- Basic skirt pattern alterations.
- Dress alterations – Fine-tuning tops/bodies and skirts.
- Fitting pants – My specialty and recognized in the industry.
- Demystifying draglines – My secret to understanding diagonal draglines in garment fitting.
In addition to mastering terminology, abbreviations, pattern tools, and supplies, "The Fitting Book" demonstrates the use of a hip curve, a French curve, and a clear ruler for patternmaking. These corrections are applicable to women's, men's, and children's wear, as well as knit and woven styles. The illustrations and photos are in black and white, emphasizing its focus on fitting rather than pattern drafting.
Drawing on my extensive experience fitting tens of thousands of garments since 2003, I'm excited to share expert tips from the industry. You'll gain insights to attain the tailored fit you've always aspired to.
For those of you among my 58,000+ followers on Instagram and Facebook, you might have come across my concise fitting videos. Each fitting alteration covered in this book corresponds to easy-to-reference videos. QR codes are provided for effortless access via your smartphone, offering a visual guide for each correction to keep you moving smoothly.
No more investing time and resources into sewing ill-fitting garments. It's high time to create clothes that you not only adore but also adore you back.
