Hi from New Zealand

What a bonus finding this site! I'm such a weird shape and for years nothing I've sewn has ever looked or felt right so I'm beginning by learning to draft my own patterns. I would be really interested in how to alter commercial patterns to fit this body. Cheers Jaybee.

Re: Learning to Draft My Own Pattern

Hi Jaybee,

Thanks. It is always a good idea to learn how to draft a pattern according to your own measurements. This way your garments will always fit well, be flattering and give you great satisfaction in your work.

We will have video lessons regarding how to alter a pattern to make it fit according to the body measurements.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
