The Fitting Book: Make Sewing Pattern Alterations & Achieve the Perfect Fit You Desire

Be prepared to use along with the QR codes on each page. Each page is a summary of the directions. You really need to watch the videos to get the full directions. Having the book is a great! It’s like having class notes. The notes help me remember video contents. No more watching videos over and over. I’m not new to sewing, but I’m new to doing more than basic alterations. This will definitely be one of my “go to” books.

Great! book

This book is chalked full of information. Information is what I need, instead of frufru pictures that’s just taking up space for valuable information. The diagrams are simple, easy to read, so that you can confidently apply your corrections, to the patterns. If you are looking for a coffee table book, this ain’t it. If you’re the type that just want to cut to chase, get ready to work.I am certain those who left 1-3 stars, only thumbed through the book, and got flustered by the volume of information and basic shapes. I’d advise you, if you’re feeling this way, take in small chunks, bit by bit, and you will feel happy that you selected this book. Again, it’s not a luxurious, Disney, thumb through type of book, it’s a guide which will remain by your side. Happy Sewing.

This book is great. I have learned a lot and it is my go to book on how to adjust my patterns. I am self taught adjusting patterns. I am still learning. I suggest buying this book if you want to start adjusting your patterns for a better fit. I also just ordered her Fashion Design and her Curvy Fashion Design books. I get them tomorrow.

Well laid out, wealth of knowledge, and accompanying video access are wonderful! I have used and researched many fitting books and this one is at the top of my list.

The instructions are clear and well illustrated.

This is a great resource for the basics of fitting. Was not just what I was looking for but will be keeping for reference. Would recommend to others.

The author offers free tutorials via barcodes in the book. Very helpful! And, with proper documentation, you will get a free e-book!
