This book is an absolute essential for any home sewer. I probably resisted it longer than I should have because "everybody" says its so great... how many books are that good? Well; this ones a revolution. Upped my sewing/fitting game exponentially--and this from someone whos been sewing for many decades. Put it together with Fit for Real People; also by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto; and Claire Shaeffers Couture Sewing Techniques; and youll wonder why you ever buy ready-to-wear.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. So helpful and easy to follow!By Linda C. MurphyI am a teach-myself-to-sew person as I do not have any person or educational center near me to help me out. And there is so much information out there on sewing! But I find most of it is geared towards more skilled levels or more generic information. I had decided to stick to one type of garment to develop my skills with; decided on pants; since I am hard to fit in that area; and bounced all over the place to find information. I was pleased; after much searching; to find this easy to follow book on pattern alteration for pants. Once I master my pants; I plan to use their other books to increase my skills in other areas.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I absolutely love this book and methodBy R. RussellI absolutely love this book and method. It clarified the adjustment process to use on patterns to make clothes fit me better. I this method; in conjunction with the slide method in "Pattern Fitting with Confidence" on a pair of shorts that made the pattern adjustment easy and flawless. This book made me realize that a lot of women are not within the industry "standard" but that we can still have pants that fit us both comfortably and beautifully! I would highly recommend purchasing this book if you have a body shape that is not the "standard" shape. I cant wait to make more beautiful clothes that actually fit me comfortably!
