Teresa Gilewska

Description

Every body is different, and standard sizes certainly do not fit all! You're going to spend hours making your home sewn garment, so you want to be sure the final product will fit flawlessly. This starts with a pattern that is drawn to your (or your model's) exact measurements. With The Perfect Fit as your guide, you'll learn the necessary skills for altering 'off-the-rack' patterns to measure, and even drafting your own creations.

For amateur sewists who want to bring their craft to the next level in accuracy, this book offers detailed explanations of the role and meaning of each line on a pattern, and how to build basic patterns for tops, sleeves, skirts and pants that you can alter for ideal style and fit. Discover the skills necessary to draw the patterns that will bring your imagined garments to life!
