I’ve been surfing the net lately looking at perfect fitting patterns. Muslin is always the answer. \u00a0Don’t you just hate that? \u00a0In order to attain the perfect fit, one must sew twice. \u00a0UGH! \u00a0Well, I at least try, sometimes, to use a fabric I may want to wear? \u00a0Usually not though. \u00a0I’ve wasted so much fabric not making muslins that now I am not about to sew new patterns without making a muslin first.<\/p>\n

Okay, so, in my wonderful internet adventures I have discovered some really good sewing sites. \u00a0One in particular, from the UK<\/a> has a great solution to fit. This site uses a pretty no nonsense approach, basically, if it doesn’t fit, fix it! \u00a0I love it!! \u00a0It’s such common sense, if you are short, make it shorter. \u00a0If you are tall, make it longer. \u00a0If you are big, make it bigger and if the fit is too big, make it smaller.<\/p>\n

Those are the easy adjustments. \u00a0For those of us that have bodies not conforming to the ideals of pattern companies, Craftsy <\/a>has an entire section on fit. The tutorials they have are easy enough for a beginner to follow. \u00a0Crafty has a wonderful perfect fit tutorial about fitting the pattern <\/a>before the first cut. That is something I can use for sure! \u00a0I cannot imagine the time I would save! Right now, their tutorials are half off as well. \u00a0I hope no matter what you do while sewing, you ENJOY!<\/p>\n
