A small change in how you test your fabric can make a big difference in the number you get — and that number affects the fit of everything that comes afterward. ✂️

When working with stretch fabrics, you want your test to reflect how the fabric actually behaves across the body. An inaccurate stretch percentage can lead you to make fitting or pattern decisions based on information that wasn’t quite right to begin with.

It’s one of those tiny details that’s easy to overlook, but worth getting right!

Two garments can be made from the exact same pattern and still look completely different—and the fabric is often the reason.

Before choosing a fabric based on its color or print, picture the silhouette you want to create. Should it hold its shape, create volume, fall in soft folds, or skim closer to the body? Selecting the right drape can make the difference between a garment that matches your vision and one that feels unexpectedly different once it is sewn.

Pattern adjustments become much less intimidating once you understand how the pattern needs to move.

This simple technique can help you correct fit issues without changing the entire design.

At the first glance, you might even think that the front neck is not lying flat against the body…

But if you really look at where the seam line is, it’s going lie well against the body.

Look at your seam lines, not seam allowance edges while fitting!

You also have to consider that the neckline and the armhole can sometimes be on the bias, just like in this instance.

The bias stretches out even while we’re fitting.

If you’re afraid that the bias is stretching while you’re fitting, you can do a stay stitch on your stitch line to make sure it does not stretch out.

You can also iron it to make sure it goes back to the original measurement to make sure it didn’t stretch out in your fitting.

Please ignore my wet hair! Swimming has been my lifesaver in this heat wave 😂

A beautiful story unfolded in front of me and I had to share it with you.

I know not everyone will connect face-to-face with another person today and if that’s you, I just want to say, “It’s nice to connect with you today.”

Get the perfect dart point position every time with this pinning method.

There’s no need to mark your garment.

1. Pin through the point of the dart on your pattern and remove the pattern.

2. Then, turn the fabric panel to the other side.

3. Add pins at the same position and pull the pieces apart, keeping the pins in position.

4. Align your notches and pin the rest of the dart legs together.

5. Sew your darts!
