Pattern Fundamentals: Two Essential Skills

[@susanfreeman6350]

I’m nearly 71 years old and have been sewing since I was 10. At first, sewing was a necessity because I’m only 5’1” and also because they didn’t sell petite or really small sizes back the. Fast forward many decades to a fuller body and I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure out what size and what adjustments to make. Your excellent, well paced, articulate videos have been wonderful for me. I’m finally understanding why I’ve had so many fitting issues, and now have the tools to fix them. Thank you!

I have been sewing my own clothes for most of my life by using patterns just for a certain size but, by following Alexandra's wonderful instructions I have learned how to adjust patterns to fit MY individual body measurements and have the satisfaction of knowing every thing I make fits ME perfectly. She is a generous, easily understood instructor.

You make me want to take classes... and I have NEVER liked school lectures. Thank you for your tutorials!!

[@konige-tochteru.9295]

You are a great teacher. A God sent.. I never understood this until now

[@susansawarin5776]

Wonderful instructions. My question is Why? Why and where do certain bust darts work?

[@ibeleevinfairies]

Wonderful explanation on the pivot method. I never "got it" before. But you make it so easy. Can't wait to practice. Thank you!

Thank you 🙏 for all the tutorial clips. They are so helpful and informative

[@tangorhumba3777]

Thanks that’s great. Easy to understand both methods. What makes you choose which dart you want to use?

Hello. Please share a video on drafting the bodice you use. I use the Winifred Aldrich method, but after closing the shoulder dart, my armhole becomes too skewed

[@julieryding2030]

Thanks, this was great

[@lynettedaniels1236]

Why would I need to change a dart location? I am new to garment sewing and so I have a great deal to learn.

[@AlexandraMorganInHousePatterns]

Lynette Daniels the dart is often moved for design purposes😊
