Thank you for this! Enormously helpful. I will finally be able adjust my patterns to have a proper fit.
This class was excellent; the instructor was clear and her instructions were well articulated. The whole process was well explained and very easy to follow.
I would love to see more classes from this instructor -- perhaps on adjusting french darts and princess seams (is the latter even possible?)
Thank you again.
