I loved this DVD. I have the book, but I learn so much easier by watching, than reading. It was wonderful.
I have received two dvds, Fit for Real People and Pants for Real People
Excellent!
I'm waiting for the one for cutting and altering the pattern.
Marta did a very good job fitting a real person with real fitting issues. I would have liked to see her fit herself (because that's what most of us have to do). Also, she only uses tissue fit technique, which I don't like (the tissue always rips and tissue does not resemble how the real fabric will lie). She did give good tips though.
I believe I've given my review for Pants for Real People, Sewing Techniques, I loved it. I'm waiting for Pants for Real People, the Fitting Techniques. Jayne S.
