How to read and understand your sewing pattern for success!

Sewing patterns don't have to be confusing! Pattern envelopes and PDF patterns are meant to be guide tools in achieving your desired garment. Step by step we cover how to read both commercial and indie sewing patterns, a sewing pattern envelope and sewing instructions. Together we walk through the different components found in these tools (such as size charts, notions lists, cutting layouts, and more) and how these are meant to be helpful to you!

Included in this video are details about the three types of pattern development 0:35 (draping, drafting and flat pattern making), an explanation of commercial sewing patterns 2:39, indie sewing patterns 3:11 and a comparison between the two 4:37. Details on how to read the envelop, read the sewing guide sheet, and better understand how to move forward with your pattern are explained. Join me!
