So happy to find this video. I have been struggling for years trying to make commercial patterns fit my sloper. They often have lovely designs which do not look anything like my sloper, which fits me well. I have difficulty altering them to fit my shoulders and armscye. I am also petite but can manage these alterations mostly. I hope you do more of these videos.

Hello, Helen, Thank you! I have been very excited about this particular series - especially for those relatively new to sewing. Fitting is always the biggest hurdle to overcome with newcomers. I hope other tutorials I have will be of help to you. Thank you for taking time to leave this comment and happy sewing!
