Fit Clinic, Episode Five! (Patreon)

Hello, lovely! I'm so very excited to share with you the final installment in our Fit Clinic series, all about fitting pants! (It's not that scary - I promise!)

In this episode, we cover common pants fitting problems and show you how to correct them on your patterns. Pants can be intimidating, but once you understand the basics and how a pattern block needs to be altered for YOUR body, you'll be sewing and wearing perfectly-fitting pants in no time!

I know this can be a bit intimidating, so be sure to download the attached PDF handout so you can follow the step-by-step checklist the next time you are making a muslin for your pants.

I hope you've loved this year's Fit Clinic series and it has helped you to understand fabric and fit!

xoxo,
Gertie
