- I saw their advertisment in a sewnews. I received information
that they are now allowing the seamstresses to measure themselves.
To sign up is about $35US. I received a video and a binder with
a number of patterns in it. I'll count & give more details. They
are the basic patterns (skirts, slacks, tunics, jackets) for women.
The patterns also contain information such as which body shape
it's recommended for. You order a pattern from this catelog. It
gets printed on their 72" plotter and mailed to you. So, in theory,
it's pre-altered for you. I got myself measured and I bought three
patterns. I was impressed with the quality of the paper...it's the
nice, solid stuff. The shirt I made cut out easily and was sewn
together quickly (it was a simple color blocked tank top). I felt
the instructions were to the point and very clear. And it fit!!
More when I make the skirt and pants.
