Pati Palmer is “the Fit Expert,” known for creating the Palmer/Pletsch tissue-fitting method, along with Marta Alto. Once the tissue is altered to fit, your pattern is ready to cut. Standardized sewing patterns are just the starting point. Each body is unique. Tissue-fitting allows you to create garments that fit and flatter your unique body.

Palmer/Pletsch teaches tissue-fitting in many ways, from the guidesheets in our patterns, to books, videos, and our workshops. 

At right you can access a PDF that describes the fitting webinars and workshops we offer by clicking on the image. Then visit our workshop pages to learn more. 

Palmer Pletsch offers a wide range of tissue fitting products available to sewers of all skill levels.  Have a look at some of the products we are pleased to promote at this time.
