A few days ago I talked about the biggest fitting project ever that my daughter, Denise and I have been working on for over a year.  We've requested that each of you send us your fitting challenges so we can be sure to cover nearly every fitting problem that has been sent to us.

Oh my!! Over the past couple of weeks, we've had literally hundreds (actually close to a thousand) frustrated individuals write in with their fitting problems and issues with the commercial - store bought - patterns. 

The bust, darts, shoulders, arms combination has come in first as the biggest problem area, followed by the hips/thighs and waist.

The message is loud and clear -- some of you have stated that you no longer enjoy sewing for yourself because you can't get the patterns to fit right.  Others have mentioned certain problem areas that they have no idea how to correct, and issues with anything that says "plus size" that doesn't come even close to fitting in the bust area.

In response to the huge demand, we're providing a new FREE class that gives you the information and step by step instructions you need to alter the dart line on any and all commercial patterns you may have.

You can get your copy of this FREE class by visiting the "Altering Darts on Commercial Patterns" page.  We're working now on a video class, which we plan to give to our readers for free as well.  By signing up for the "Altering Darts on Commercial Patterns", you will be notified immediately when the video class becomes available, and remember that will be FREE for you also.

Thank you to all who have submitted fitting issues - we've heard and we ARE listening to you!
