Thank you for using a larger mannequin. I am learning to sew for myself because my body is 3 sizes - shoulder, waist and hips, and I need to stay positive and believing I can look good if I fit to my body. This is the best thing you could give me! Thanks!

I'm 5' 2" and nothing EVER fits correctly! This was such a WONDERFUL lesson!!! It's exactly what I needed!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

I am now 64 and getting back into sewing. I am no longer (sadly) able to buy a pattern, cut it out on fabric, sew and wear with no adjustments or very small tweaks. I'm sure it was also different the way patterns were made in the 70's. This has been extremely informative to my now post menopause figure (ugh) and has helped me to understand adjustments a little better. With a brand new sewing machine and a gifted (old but goodie) serger I am determined to make clothes to fit ME. Excellent tutorial, well explained in a calm manner, no distracting music and straight, to the point simple explanation and demonstration. Bonus is free patterns which is where I'm heading

People pay good money for this kind of information. Thanks so much for doing this great video. So many people take the time to sew themselves a garment but then it doesn't fit properly. I look forward to perfecting these skills.

I'm 5'11", and just getting into dressmaking so that I can make clothes that actually fit me. I can't wait to get good enough to make my own jeans. No more dresses that are too short either! Your video is incredibly helpful and you're very engaging as a teacher. Thank you for this class.

You're awfully nice for sharing this. This is the most comprehensive fitting adjustment I've seen.

[kathisavarese]

The shorter length adjustment was so enlightening. As someone who is 5' dividing the difference between 2, or perhaps 3 locations on the pattern piece makes so much sense! Thank you!

This video was so informative! I’m a beginner sewist and have seen so many videos where they mention grading and ease but I never fully understood what it meant. This video answered so many questions. Thank you.

[rosac]

Omg I can’t believe I came across your channel as I sit here altering my clothing as best I can . I had to put you on speaker so my husband can hear you cause I’m so tired of hearing him say I don’t know why you always say can never find anything that fits you ! HALLELUJAH!!!!

[golfing]

This has to be the absolute best video on resizing. I love the splitting of the pattern into 2 or 3 pieces. It makes so much sense and NO OTHER seamstress has ever mentioned this. My first but not last video of your links. Thanks you Jessica

[lindaconover]

OMG this is wonderful! I just found your channel at the right time. I am 76, years ago when I first started my career I made all my clothes as $ was tight, then as $ was not as much of an issue I stopped. Now I want to get sewing again so I can make or customize my clothing for my shape and age. Your videos will be a tremendous help as I relearn sewing skills. Thank you 😊

[patriciagreen]

Wow! I have been sewing for 40 years. This is such a very clear video of what you need to do to customize a pattern! You are a gift to sewists everywhere!

[kalpnapanchal]

Wow, this video is great. I’m a beginner and have tried a few patterns but couldn’t understand where I was going wrong. Nothing fit properly. You have explained everything so clearly, This is the best I’ve come across, so easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much for this video.

[susankidd]

At nearly 70 years old I am starting to do pattern adjustments and really enjoying it, I will definitely be looking out for these tutorials keep them coming fantastic.

[qormi]

Thank you so much for this class. I learnt new things today even after sewing for over 60 years. More please. xxx

[theopening]

This was the best and most helpful/informative online class. Thank you!

[ooTyPow]

i was sent this link from a friend who has watched me struggle the last week! THIS....is a life

[colin]

It's so fantastic to meet a sewing instructor with a lovely attitude to variety of shapes and sizes. Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial. It would be great to see more patterns for us guys that sew 😉

[karenlowes]

These adjustments are important to know. I'm weary of tops falling off my shoulders! I hope you'll do more! 😊 Thank you

[donnacox]

Wonderful class ! You are a good teacher and I look forward to trying your patterns. I would like to add it was so refreshing to see models who were not straight up and down. Real people who have very hard fitting problems and cannot buy ready to wear that doesn’t look like tents on them. Thank you for your kindness to include those of us who are not small, slim and perfectly proportioned. Some of us need more than height adjustments or just a little more room in certain places. Fitting adjustments have been such a nightmare for some of us. Again thank you so much. Blessings to you and your business. ❤️
