How long has it been since you have sewn a garment for yourself? Sure you've been sewing for children and grandchildren and have created some beautiful works of art in a quilt, but what about you?
The Palmer/Pletsch method will provide you the freedom to learn what to do to fit you. Most commercial patterns are drafted for a specific body type and size and then graded out in size in an attempt to make each area larger.
The problem is that we don't all change shape in a logical manner. Sure it's logical for our body but not for the commercial patterns. For example, my hips don't change just because I gain an extra inch in my bicep. The attempt to solve this fit issue was to give us multi-size patterns. Have they worked for you?????
Of course not. One size fits all rarely works! Take control. Stop buying patterns two sizes too large just to fit one area. Learn your correct pattern size
Then learn to make the alterations and control the way the rest of the pattern fits your body.
Just imagine no more measuring!
