Design, draw, and alter sewing patterns to achieve the perfect fit in your homesewn garments! Every body is different, and standard sizes certainly do not fit all! You're going to spend hours making your homesewn 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, The Perfect Fit 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! TABLE OF CONTENTS: 01: Virtual Lines 02: Taking Measurements 03: The Bust 04: The Sleeves 05: The Skirt 06: The Pants 07: Pattern Transformation Basics.
Teresa Gilewska has worked in fashion design for over 30 years, in France, China, and Poland. In 1989 she set up her own studio in Paris where she worked until 2000.
