Love the detail. A must for great fitting clothes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential reference material *by J***C on 17 February 2025* This is an essential book for those wanting to alter paper patterns so that the garment is the correct fit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be prepared to study it - it's marvellous, a game changer no matter your experience. *by C***7 on 15 November 2024* I've had this book for 2 years now. I began sewing long before this book was published in 2018, and wish it had been around when I started making clothes. Standard patterns, unless you're very-very unusual, stop fitting so well 'out of the box' the more you age. If you've had a series of projects end poorly fitting, then your sewing skill hasn't waned, you've just aged enough for standard patterns to not fit so well anymore - happens to us all (if we're lucky enough to get to age that is). I discovered this book when searching for pattern fitting. Fitting tissues instead of draughting patterns was something I'd wondered about, but it hadn't been a thing when I began sewing. Tissue fitting is a game changer. I refer to this book every time I make now, and repeatedly - it must be my most used book, filled with sticky notes. I suggest you don't try to digest it all. It felt like too much preamble, seemed to repeat things and be oddly organised. Still does feel that way, but I am an experienced sewist. I suspect the preamble might be useful to the less experienced. Read just far enough to jump in, with a 'follow along' project. Use it to make something rather than attempt to study it all beforehand, is my recommendation. I did this using chapter 13 'Fitting Sequence' - was lucky for me, but you might find one of the earlier chapters better. After two or three tissue fits, I now know my alterations, can anticipate them, and the book makes complete sense. I've made several garments since buying this book, all tissue fitted, and recently altered a Japanese pattern book pattern with fantastic success. I'm a taller than average European (not at all Japanese petite), have a very slight high back, as well as other small, but fit significant age related alterations. The book helps with stylistic changes too, though its focus is getting patterns to fit perfectly. Being able to cut fabric out using a bought pattern knowing for certain the fit will be correct makes the sewing bit relaxing and fun. It's given me the joy of sewing back. (I've gone on to buy their other books since). ## Frequently Bought Together - The Palmer Pletsch Complete Guide to Fitting: Sew Great Clothes for Every Body.
