I hope this vid helps you to get to your perfect fit faster and more consistently! These tools have been a HUGE IMMENSE IMMEASURABLE confidence boost for me because I don't worry as much about "will it fit?" or panic that I can't afford any mistakes because I only bought the exact amount of fabric needed to do it once perfectly (whyyyyy do we do this to ourselves) Function of Beauty linked here if you're looking for it! cen.yt/functionwithwendy to get 20% off your custom formula ✨

Tip from a fashion designer. Bodice blocks always have darts ending right on the "peaks of the boobs", to not draw attention to these peaks or get a bullet bra effect, always shift darts that land on boob peaks a 2cm or so away from said peaks. Don't know if you knew this already but there yo have it.

i work in a fabric store and a good way to keep patterns for a long time is to use a type of interfacing! Its actually called like a pattern interfacing and its like a mix between paper and fabric, its thin, lightweight, can be folded and last a long time.

@sonipitts 3 года назад

I love the Lutterloh system, and have used it for years. The one thing to keep in mind is that it works better the closer your body is to being evenly proportioned (because it's based on a standardized human proportion, a la DaVinci Man). So you will have to make adjustments for individual body quirks like a large bust, swayback, long/short waist, etc. OTOH, you generally have to do that for any commercial pattern anyway, and commercial patterns are often graded to larger/smaller sizes from the core block in ways that distort proportions more the further off the standard size they get. Because of that, you usually get quite a bit closer to your own body shape with the Lutterloh system on the first go than you would with a commercial pattern. But a multi-measurement custom block will fit best since it captures all those quirks to begin with. So generally speaking, a Lutterloh pattern will end up somewhere between a custom block and a commercial pattern (and usually closer to the custom block, unless you are a significant proportional outlier).

This was such a timely video for me as I've just acquired my mother's Golden Rule book from Lutterloh two days ago. Hers is full of patterns from the 50's or 60's (I've been trying to get my hands on it for the last three decades or so!) and it's nice to see that while some alterations are likely to be needed, it's a useable system.

I love how the top turned out. You have great taste when it comes to choosing what you will make, colours and styles. Since I am not a sewer (I don't mean the sewer where water goes down into the waste), I can admire your work and hear, blah, blah, blah... knowing I can come back here when I get to where I can make something for myself. The final result for one was/is stunning and suits you, beautifully. Well done. Thanks for doing the comparison with three people of differing sizes. Very scientific.

hey wendy! love your videos! I wanted to add a tip my sewing teacher taught me for bias tape on points like the front one. cut your bias tape in a v shape so that the middle point is the lowest point and conned two v's right sides together for a crisp right turn in your bias tape :)

Love what you make as always!😍😍😍 A little trick I figured out a few weeks ago, you can buy erasable pens that actually disappear with the heat of the friction, so they actually go away with a little ironing 😊 it work great and allows you to make super precise lines or mark itty bitty hole on fabric for the darts♥️
