Summary:
"It's been 20 years since their last book about
fitting
and altering sewing patterns,
Fit
for Real People. For Palmer and Alto, that means 20 more years of hands-on learning and experience from
fitting
more real people of all shapes and sizes from around the globe. Having long ago dispensed with tedious measuring or making a muslin to check the
fit
of a sewing
pattern
, the authors have mastered the process of tissue-fitting. This means simply trying on the
pattern
's tissue pieces to check systematically for where to alter the
pattern
for a custom
fit
. The
pattern
pieces themselves become the muslin. Systematically means following the tissue-fitting sequence they've developed and refined. It's a no-guess order of
fitting
that ensures success. The book reinforces this sequence since the alteration chapters themselves are ordered in the same sequence. Readers are instructed to start with length and width, move on to the back, check the neck and shoulders, all before even considering how the
pattern
fits in the bust. As they work through the
pattern
, sewers will alter the tissue and try on again until the tissue fits well. The book then instructs how to pin-fit the fabric for a final tweaking before sewing. The book explains all facets of
pattern
fitting
and alteration to give readers the background and guidance they need to achieve a custom
fit
on
any
pattern
from
any
company."--From publisher.
