Still not sure if Pattern Fitting 101 is for you?
I get it! It can be hard to justify an investment into our hobbies. However, sewing became much more than a hobby to me when I started my sewing journey back in 2006. Not only did it keep me sane during a time in my life that I was mothering young twins, but it also became a creative outlet and finally a job as they grew and my role as Mom changed. Fitting was a real barrier for me in my early years of sewing and if it hadn't been for the bounty of talented sewing instructors that have crossed my path, I wouldn't be doing what I love with such success today. Teaching you the joys and freedom of sewing your own wardrobe has been, and continues to be, a passion for me. When I thought about the number one barrier to enjoying this fabulous hobby, frustration with fit was the first thing that came to mind. While I understand this class isn't for everyone, my hope is that it will aid you in your own quests to sew your own garments and curate your own handmade wardrobes. I'm just so excited to have the opportunity to meet you, teach you and cheer you on inside Pattern Fitting 101!
