Fit Clinic, Episode Three! (Patreon)

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to bring you the next installment in our Fit Clinic Series!

In Episode Three, we will go over how fabric choice effects fit and teach you some tips on how to choose the right fabric to make sure you get the perfect fit.  The most common questions I get asked are about fabric substitutions. This is usually possible, but will most likely lead to some pattern adjustments. To showcase this, we made the Bryant gown in 4 very different fabrics so you can see for yourself how much fabric choice impacts fit. 

I know this is a lot of info to take in, so check out the attached PDF handout that you can have on hand the next time you go fabric shopping :)

I hope you love this month's Fit Clinic!

Xoxo,

Gertie
