Description

The Palmer/Pletsch Complete Guide to Fitting

Learn all facets of pattern fitting and alteration to give you the background and guidance needed to achieve a custom fit on any pattern from any company.

The book includes the following:

• Take just one measurement for tops and one for skirts to determine the right pattern size. Find out what to do if you are between sizes or a different size top and bottom.

• Make a “body map” with a close-fitting dress pattern to see how you differ from the “standard” on which sewing patterns are based.

• Learn from “real people” examples of a variety of bodies and their individual alterations.

• Use the book’s new “wrinkle dictionary” to identify a needed pattern alteration. Wrinkles point to the problem,” say the authors, and now you can look up the page reference for a solution.

• See how age can affect body shape, from preteen to octogenarian.

• Take note of the latest sewing techniques for garment details that affect fit, such as darts, zippers and sleeves, for enhancing the look of a well-fitted garment.

• Learn basic skills for designing or redesigning for a myriad of variations using the same pattern.

Perfect Pattern Paper

This multipurpose grid-printed tissue paper is the essential design and fit tool for crafters, sewers, and quilters. The sturdy, translucent quality makes it compatible with pattern tissue for alterations and tissue-fitting, and it is strong enough to sew through without tearing. Our fitting students love it and wouldn’t be without it!
