#8 Fitting Adjustments Not Working? Here's Why and What to Do About It
If you've been sewing for years but are beginning to find that your usual fitting adjustments are no longer giving you the results they once did, it may be time to rethink your approach to fitting.
Let's face it, bodies evolve over time. If it's been some time since you first learned your "go to" fitting techniques, keep watching. In this video, I’ll share why the adjustments that used to work aren’t working anymore—and what you can do to start getting the fit you want again.
Inside this week's video you'll discover:
-
Three key reasons why the techniques that once worked might be falling short now
-
Four common mistakes that can create more fitting challenges and how to solve them
-
Three principles I teach in my Fitting Essentials online course and the best project to get you started.
If you’ve been frustrated with fit, your approach may need to evolve. Consider how your body may have changed since you first started sewing, or if you're new to sewing, consider how your body is different from the pattern company's standard.
The more quickly you learn and adopt a strategic fitting process the more quickly you'll eliminate the frustration you currently feel with fitting.
In my next video, I'm going to share an excerpt from one of my Fitting Essentials group sessions. You'll gain some valuable insight into the first 3 steps of the fitting process.
