Fit Clinic, Episode Five!
Added 2022-12-15 16:17:31 +0000 UTCHello, lovely! I'm so very excited to share with you the final installment in our Fit Clinic series, all about fitting pants! (It's not that scary - I promise!)
In this episode, we cover common pants fitting problems and show you how to correct them on your patterns. Pants can be intimidating, but once you understand the basics and how a pattern block needs to be altered for YOUR body, you'll be sewing and wearing perfectly-fitting pants in no time!
I know this can be a bit intimidating, so be sure to download the attached PDF handout so you can follow the step-by-step checklist the next time you are making a muslin for your pants.
I hope you've loved this year's Fit Clinic series and it has helped you to understand fabric and fit!
xoxo,
Gertie
