Ill-fitting garments, no matter how beautifully they are constructed, will add weight and years to your image. About 30% of the time you spend in creating a garment should be spent on fitting, before you commit to your fabric. If you skip this step and try to save some time, you’re going to be disappointed in the final product. Don’t waste your lovely fabric on a project you’ll end up stuffing in the back of a closet, or donating because it doesn’t flatter you.
While there are many methods to achieve great fit, tissue fitting is one of the easiest and fastest. Prepare your pattern, try it on, and see what the tissue shows you. Make changes to the tissue pattern and cut in fabric with confidence that what you saw and altered in the tissue, will become a great fit for your body.
I offer group and individual lessons. Let me help you learn to use this method on any pattern, including independent patterns.
Group classes are no more than 4 students and I also offer private lessons. Classes will be forming soon. Contact me for more info!
