Tailored to Fit: The Palmer/Pletsch Tissue Fitting Method
Class Description
Pati and Marta have spent over 30 years developing the Palmer/Pletsch Tissue-Fitting Method and in this class they will show you how it works.
You’ll learn:
- A better way to fit yourself, eliminating the need to take so many body measurements
- Identify the areas of your pattern that need adjustment
- Tips for fitting a sheath dress (both bodice and skirt) to your body type
Learn how you vary from a standardized pattern and alter the tissue to fit you using the Palmer/Pletsch Tissue Fitting Method. After watching Pati and Marta at work, you'll be able to customize patterns so your handmade garments look and feel awesome.
