Little Skirt from The Golden Rule

[@peterstratten3087]

Absolutely brilliant. I have this system and although I am not a novice when it comes to sewing mostly bags and quilts but clothes I need a hand with. Thank you.

[@QuiverOnOverdrive]

Please do more of these - wonderful instructions!

[@thebratqueen]

I absolutely covet this system. I haven't even tried to make clothes yet but this system makes it seem so approachable, especially for those of us who aren't a "perfect" sample size.

[@katyjudd1061]

Thank you so much! Please make more tutorials on the Lutterworth system. I bought it years ago but didn’t get on with it. I got some large pieces of foam board after watching your first video on the golden rule, that makes so much sense! Your tips are really helpful and you’ve inspired me to have another go.

[@izabeau1953]

Fantastic way to make a pattern , if only I had this years ago. Would have made life so much easier. ❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻🌹🌹🌹

[@karenfisher1768]

Great idea wish I had this kind of pattern 50 years ago

[@elizabethveness7340]

Thank you so much for your explanations and making us feel like we can achieve anything if we just take things one step at a time.

[@sandradawson5189]

Such a fantastic system. I have waited for a few years for someone to do videos with this, please please do some more. 🤞

[@janwatt5]

I attended a lutterloh workshop/sales session over 40 years ago! It is an amazing system! Scanning the pattern works just as well...

[@nancypollard4531]

I just bought this system. Drafting the patterns is so much fun. I really hope you continue to do videos about the lutterloh system as I need all the help I can get assembling the patterns. I've been sewing clothing for a while now and I still find some of the pieces a challenge especially those with zippers and vents. Your teaching style resonates with me as well as others I'm sure.

[@vickys.2348]

thank you for adding how you put the skirt together in relation to the symbols on the pattern diagram. That was really helpful. I still have a lot to learn with this system! 😊

[@juliamckernan354]

The skirt looks GREAT on you.

[@nancypollard4531]

wow! This looks so fun! And for those of us who are always dropping about $10 a pattern this is an amazing cost saver.

[@anneostsee2596]

I love that system. It’s original from Germany and it is called here „der goldene Schnitt“ Thanks for making that video. The clothes fit you perfectly

[@joycewilson3787]

That skirt is so flattering on you.

[@galedutton184]

Wow. That's an amazing system. Never heard of it until now. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@amyshimonkevitz4803]

This looks like a versatile system. And thank you, Laura, for explaining how to do the pleat in the back of the skirt. I'm guessing if I wanted a lined skirt, I would cut out the same in lining fabric, minus the facings. I like videos with garment construction. They are very useful to me.

[@robertdemitro1520]

The Goden Rule system would a good buy , if you had basic blocks and adding style lines sand adjustments to your blocks from the pattern instructions . It would just make things go quicker .

[@lynetterene]

Wow😮.....I heard of this system, but never saw it in action....thank you!

[@maryjanemason7290]

Wow! that just blew my mind. I have never seen that system and I've been sewing forever. I'm going to check it out.

[@vernabohnert635]

Very nice! I have this system and I am going to get busy! Thank you for sharing 😀

[@kima.6611]

I've had this system since the mid 90's. I love it. A rep from the company came by the Hancock's Fabric store I was working at and gave a demonstration. I don't have the ruler set though, I have been sewing for decades and just use my standard pattern drafting rulers from college. It is a great investment and I do love this product.

[@michellereynolds3171]

My mouth was open for the entire tutorial!!!! I know I’ve said it before but you are the Jackie Kennedy Onassis of sewing 🧵 🪡 I LOVE it!!!! Thank you for sharing and you looked absolutely gorgeous in both outfits!!!! A million thumbs up 👍🏽 and stars ✨ too

[@bobbirowlett6728]

When you first started explaining cutting out that pattern and then making your own, I held my breath. But you made it so understandable, so thank you! Very interesting video. As always you’re just the best. I could listen to you all day.

[@margm4]

What a great system, thanks, Laura.

[@amytilghman]

Most stores around here is doing away with petite sizes and I'm always,hard to fit. Will check this out and start making my own clothes.

[@ANotiontoSew]

Thanks for sharing your Lutterloh system, Laura. I purchases my Golden Rule in 1989 when we lived in California. They traveled around to fabric stores and taught an afternoon class on using their system - they called the class the European School of Design. Of course, I purchased the system when they were finished teaching. :) I do have the top pattern. I like the way you made it sleeveless and I like the way you styled it. What supplement and number are the pants? I ADORE your pants. Pam

[@barbaracastle1690]

So did I. I don’t think I ever completed anything though. I’ll need to take it out and see what I can do.

Very interesting! I've not seen this system before. Genius!

Genius indeed!

[@sonjadalglish6544]

Thank you so much! I had not seen this system before, either. I love it! What an amazing system and a compact way to store a lot of patterns.

[@carlyann9183]

I just got this for Christmas so thank you for posting this and giving such a great explanation!

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

Laura you look great! The skirt fits you perfectly!

[@heidicook2395]

I love this system! I have a 6-10 size difference between my top and bottom. It is almost impossible for me to buy clothes off the rack.

[@lunasmum6869]

I've had a Lutterloh system for a few years now. I drew out a pattern I liked but, though I followed the instructions to the letter, I wasn't happy with the result. I haven't used it since but you have reawakened my interest. Thank you. The only downside for beginners is that there are no instructions for making the garment up. Not a problem for me though some guidelines for tricky bits would be welcome. It is assumed we know that bit which, of course, keeps the cost down.

[@helenv2906]

Wow! That is a neat system. I had never heard of this before. Would love to see pants or even short if you ever going to make some next time. Thank you fir sharing

[@fabricdragon]

i saw this before and it looks interesting, but how do you do the adjustments for a thicker waist or a longer torso? and can a curvy girl use the regular patterns?

[@patriciaa3462]

I have had this system for nearly twenty years. There is a plus size supplement for us curvy girls. Regular patterns have a dark symbol next to them to indicate which ones are more suitable for the curvaceous girls. But as the pattern is made to your measurements, most styles will fit you.

[@janicerichardson4489]

You make sewing look so easy. I am impressed by your sewing knowledge. I am a beginner seamstress I would love to be able to make my own clothes, I am a curvy fit girl, and it has always been Hard for me to get my waist right having wider hips. I love watching you create quilts, and clothes for yourself. If you have any suggestions I would love them.

[@deLOCOSHOW]

This lady is amazing.

[@lynnries7729]

I watched a video where the instructor enlarged the pattern 150-200% so she could see the numbers and lines better without any problems.

[@maggiecousineau1877]

That is an amazing system skirt looks smashing on you.

[@Grace_x68]

Wow loved your video. Thank you for sharing

[@rosesrose9131]

You look wonderful in the skirt.

[@doreensherk287]

Cute skirt!

[@caretoc7142]

Wondering why you didn't use the curved guide for the top of the skirt instead of a straight line. I love the skirt though, turned out great.

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

😂 I don't even like drafting quilt blocks. But I understand this is great for others. 🙂

[@anne-marievandermaas4817]

Thanks for introducing this system. I would like to start sewng for myself again but find it difficult to buy/find good quality fabrics suitable for clothing. Do you have any suggestions where to go for better fabircs?

[@SewVeryEasy]

No not at this time.

[@vickys.2348]

Zelouf Fabrics is one: zelouffabrics.com/ www.fabric.com/ and www.fabricmartfabrics.com/ These are some suggestions for apparel fabric with various degrees of quality. I have not bought fabric from them, but their fabric look to be of pretty good quality.

[@work2gather]

This way of creating your own patterns is very interesting... I never would have thought it was possible, and it seems very easy. It would be nice to have a smaller packet to sample the process before investing $200 for the whole thing. I didn't see anything like that at the website. Do you know if there is one?

[@regalstylesbymtg2317]

Great information, never heard of this pattern.

[@joyceward5477]

Do you have to adjust the drafted pattern to accommodate a sway back? Do you need to shorten the pattern to accommodate your height? I just don't get how someone who is 5'10" but has a 42 bust and me 4'10" with a 42 bust could each get a pattern that would accommodate our height.

[@rendmendecclesiastes3728]

I have seen others comment on Facebook that you will need to adjust this pattern just like a store bought pattern for those particular adjustments that you mentioned. Short or long waisted, full abdomen or derriere, length, etc. Overall, you will need to be well educated on pattern adjustments along with the order of sewing together a garment.

Hi people - can you help - I took all my pattern pages out of both the regular system and the XXL system to laminate them for durability - however I had an accident and the two systems became one big pile 🥺😔. Can anyone tell me me if there is a difference in the two system patterns themselves and how I can sort them into their relevant lutterloh folders.

[@Bonbon53539]

Amazing!

[@kennethstensrud669]

Very interesting thing this pattern box, but..... does it also come in a male version? I mean, I don't sew for woman, and frankly there are not many patterns for us blokes out there, so I think it would be great to get something for just us men.

[@mrocke5948]

They also sell supplements (pattern booklets) separately on the website for men and even some for kids too.

[@kennethstensrud669]

@@mrocke5948 thank you for the information.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Hi Kenneth yes there is a male booklet but the starter is for all patterns. Perhaps if you contact them and ask for just a male kit they will put it together for you. here is the male booklet www.thegoldenrule.us/en/Departments/Thematic-pattern-magazines/Sewing-pattern-Men-collection-N-27.html however I did just through them and from the 280 set you have for men a suit jacket and pants, zippered sweatshirt with hood, jeans and a t-shirt pattern

[@maryjanemason7290]

I have a question. Are there sewing instructions with these patterns or just the patterns?

[@SewVeryEasy]

No directions but there is a general help section. You do need a general idea on how to put clothing together. I recommend to keep the directions from old patterns and use those as a guild.

[@lynnries7729]

There is also a private face book group you can join to get more information.

[@sonalpatel6119]

[@cynthiagordy8947]

No waist adjustment?

[@SewVeryEasy]

I did not have to adjust a thing. It fit me perfectly

[@gerriebell2128]

One pattern back or front that you would either cut on the fold or cut 2 of, will be 1/4 of your waist measurement plus maybe 1/4 inch of ease, on a straight skirt like this. But to make it easy, you would draw the pattern like she demonstrated, and measure it at the waist. Multiply that by 4. Compare that to your waist measurement plus one inch (for ease, so it is comfortable). Then you will know how much the pattern needs to be modified for your waist. This would be true of commercial pattern pieces, too (which come with a few size lines so you might be able to use one size line for the waist and another size line for the hip then blend lines into each other). if it’s a small difference maybe making smaller darts would enlarge the waist enough for you, which would be easy to draw. And/or not curving the side seam as much. After you change things, make sure the side seams on the front and back pieces are the same. Make it out of muslin and try it on first, to see if it fits. These are ideas I use on blouses/tops to enlarge the waist areas, and just ideas that might work for a skirt… but I haven’t made skirts with darts for ages.
