What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101


"I loved that we could take it at our own pace and that we retain access if we can't complete everything in the six week time frame. I enjoyed the way the course progressed and I learned more in 6 weeks than in the previous 50 plus years of my sewing journey."

Bren Holmes

What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101


"I feel like a fitting ninja now. Whitney had a way to make it make sense. She walked us through, used different models, provided short visual tutorials on specific fitting topics and now it just makes sense. I would highly recommend this class and any follow-up class with Whitney. She has such a talent for teaching!"

Terry Smith

What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101


"Pattern Fitting 101 is aptly named. It’s an excellent class for sewists starting to learn fitting, as well as for those who are frustrated by complicated fitting methods. Whitney clearly explains common fitting adjustments, demonstrates fitting a variety of body types, and encourages progress with her positive, can-do attitude. The pattern alteration tutorials in PDF and video formats are a well-organized resource that sewists can consult whenever needed."

Jane Plass

What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101


"I enjoyed the class as it unfolded and am extremely happy to have the content in a neat accessible 'package' as an ongoing reference. There is a lot of content which is great to get all in one place. It could be overwhelming but you can take it in small bites or large according to needs. I did both. I look forward to very soon returning to the modules for continued learning."

What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101


"This class gave me the confidence I needed to really look at the fit and not just rush through the process (if I can wear it, then it fits). I'm so excited to see how my results level up as a result of what I learned!"

Laura Tieri

What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101


"This course is excellent! I learned how to fit my body and felt very encouraged along the way to just keep trying. The resources that I can access for the rest of my life, are well worth the money I put into it. This class is a must for anyone wanting to sew their own wardrobe"

Michone Stewart

What past students say about Pattern Fitting 101
