Answers for Your Fitting Dilemmas

Need some help with fitting a figure variation? Notice the word variation, not problem!

We all differ in shape and the patterns usually need some adjustment. Bring your figure and your questions for a lively discussion and demonstration(s) on how to correctly adjust the pattern for many areas of the body – Back, bust, arms, rear, etc.

We will “cover” as many topics as time allows!
