HIGH-END SEWING | 5 Rules for Matching Your Patterns and Prints 

Dear Alexandra, thank you for creating this space first of all. I have long thought about finding a seamstress to sew all of my clothes with fabrics I like sewn into quality garments but now after discovering this I feel I might be able to create my whole wardrobe myself. I have the frame of a gymnist/ swimmer I am an inverted triangle then looking straight on even though my measurements suggest perfect hour glass (I seam to gain weight front to back not in width). With such weird proportions it’s hard for my clothes to fit. And quite expensive to have every piece altered, when every piece is so cheaply made. My ideal look is inspired by my grandmothers very neat, fashionable and feminine. You cannot achieve that look today, on my frame, with the clothing available. I also have a lot of my own original ideas. So thank you so much. I am however a novice sewist. So I would like to know what classes experience and tools you think I should be completed/ comfortable with before joining the dpl atelier? If you could talk about this and make a video with a kind of checklist I would be so grateful- Respectfully, Renee

I love this! I would have matched to the SA instead of the stitching line.😢 Thank you!! ❤

Thank you! This was very helpful because I have striped and checkered fabrics and learned I now have to pattern match lol the thought stressed me out a little bit

Thank you
