But I wanted more practice and also wanted to see if you can sew the actual dress with that method. The class helped me a lot, especially because Mandy pointed out my problem areas. Now I know which alteration I have to make and often I also use my altered tissue pattern from the class to compare it with the pattern I am going to use. I can really recommend the fitting class. Especially, because I am now able to make garments that fit me. Not that everything goes smootly but there is much less frustration involved!ela sews and doesn't sleephttp://ela-sew.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648356968074720720.post-59744501233505231982013-08-14T08:59:31.540+01:002013-08-14T08:59:31.540+01:00That course sounds great, I'll definitely have...That course sounds great, I'll definitely have to consider doing that (or a similar one). Did you find that you needed to have done her beginners' fitting one first, or could you just have gone straight in with this one? I'm thinking it's the kind of thing you probably want to learn fairly early on in your sewing life, so as to avoid getting frustrated like you did the first time round! Have you been able to apply the stuff you learnt since?Kellyhttp://makesewdo.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648356968074720720.post-31135653584551768102013-07-07T21:42:00.490+01:002013-07-07T21:42:00.490+01:00Thank you!

At least I know my "problems" now :) and know how to transfer them to the pattern. But I think your pattern drafting course was far more advanced (I haven't read all of your posts yet).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008177057730600352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648356968074720720.post-76160328832635999812013-07-07T11:09:19.501+01:002013-07-07T11:09:19.501+01:00Isn't it amazing to get face-to-face direction...Isn't it amazing to get face-to-face direction on fitting? Fitting was obviously part of my pattern drafting course and I learnt so much! The invisible zip looks great. Good luck with the next class.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089188588469901726noreply@blogger.com
