Think of the moment you wear an outfit you have sewn for the first time. Think of how happy, proud, and accomplished you feel, all because it fits and you love it.
Many women struggle with the standard sizing of commercial or Indie sewing patterns, which often leads to fitting issues. This garment fitting guide will help you adjust sewing patterns to achieve the perfect fit you desire.
The Fitting Book has visual sketches and links to videos to help during each step of the 3-part fitting process.
Here's How it Works:
A) Identify the Fitting Issue.
B) Pin, Cut, & Tape the Fitting Sample.
C) Correct the Sewing Pattern.
It covers the following categories for pattern alterations:
You will learn about terminology, abbreviations, pattern tools, and patternmaking supplies. The Fitting Book shows how to use a hip curve, a French curve, and a clear ruler for patternmaking. The pattern corrections can be applied to womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, knit styles, and woven styles. The sketches and photos are in black and white. This is a fitting book primarily with sketches. It is not a pattern drafting book. Finally, you will learn about the customization scale in garment fitting and patternmaking.
I share my knowledge from fitting tens of thousands of garments while working in the garment industry since 2003. You will learn industry-expert fitting tips to achieve the customized fit you desire.
If you are one of my 58,000+ followers on Instagram and Facebook, you may have seen my short fitting videos. For all the fitting alterations in this book, there are corresponding simple videos to reference. There are QR codes that can be scanned with a smartphone which direct you to each fitting correction. The videos give you a quick visual of how to do each correction, so you never get stuck.
Stop wasting your time and money sewing clothes that don't fit well.
It's time to sew the clothes you love that fit.

Have you always wanted to design a clothing collection that completely reflects your style? It all starts with getting those designs and ideas out of your head and onto paper.
Whether you are looking to make a fashion design portfolio or sewing for yourself, the better you can draw, the better you'll visualize your designs before they come to life.
This book will teach you how to sketch and design clothes for women. It will guide you through the process with free step-by-step videos (through QR codes). More than 40 free videos linked through the book teach you how to design, sketch, and render your fashion sketches.
The entire book is a mix-and-match library of sketches to assist you in creating your designs. You select the parts you want. For example, choose one neckline, sleeve design, and dress silhouette to create a unique style.
This book contains flat garment sketches for womenswear. A flat sketch is a 2-dimensional visual of how the garment looks from an overhead perspective when it is flat on a table. Flat sketches are more accurate in the design proportions, helping the designer envision the style and plan the sewing process.
Except for the few extra blank pages to add to your library, this is not a sketchbook where you draw your designs inside the book.
There are two methods of using this book:
1) As a template for tracing;
2) As a reference to see how to draw the designs.
If you are a beginner, the tracing method is beneficial until you understand the proportions. Use this book in conjunction with tracing paper or thin marker paper for this method. Place the tracing or marker paper on the style details and silhouettes to draw your designs. As you become more advanced, you will likely move onto the second method of simply referencing the sketches as needed and draw without tracing.
This is the standard version of the book, which is suitable for women's US sizes 0-10 (EU sizes 30-40). There is another version of the book, which is called The Curvy Fashion Design Book. The curvy version is suitable for women's US sizes 12 and up (EU sizes 42 and up). Search for The Curvy Fashion Design Book if you prefer that option. Both books have the same content, just different sizes. In both books, there is a full-length video showing you how to customize your croquis to your size.
Many styles show examples of how to draw design details. Get creative with what is here. Mix and match as you like. Your designs will start to flow once you begin.
