Hi! I’m Joi Mahon, instructor of the Craftsy class Fast-Track Fitting, which covers how to measure yourself and alter patterns so they fit your body perfectly.
Why is it that sewers buy every fit book, take every fit class, and are still not finding solutions to their fitting needs? It is because they are not taught to address body measurements and how they relate to the pattern prior to sewing a single stitch. Your sewing pattern is a starting point, and pattern pieces are not reflective of the modern body shapes and variations.
As a pattern designer and custom sewer, I have encountered body measurement and how they affect the fit of the garment on a daily basis.
