Video Post---A Book Review and A Book Giveaway!


I made a video to review the book "Fitting & Pattern Alteration: A Multi-method approach".  I have both the new and original edition and give insight into how they're both alike & different. Check it out.



"The NEW version" I bought a couple of weeks ago....


Also, in honor of my purchase I've decided to give away my old version. It's still a great book to have and has the essential information regarding multiple pattern alteration suggestions. Please leave  a comment below stating your interest. Sorry, I can only extend this to U.S. Residents. The drawing for the winner will be on July 4th:)

    I got this book at the library when I was first starting my goal on better fitting. I liked it but it was due back to the library with a hold. I didn't bother to buy it, as I had intended, because I got pregnant. My little boy is not six months old and I am slowly making my way back to having time to sew. I would love to have this book to help with fitting. Oh and July 4th is my birthday so this would make an awesome birthday gift!

    Count me in! I have a very classic version of pattern fitting and alterations by Singer that's my go-to book; I only paid $1 for at a bookstore, but I love it! I would love this version to see the comparison!
