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!
