Want to get into garment sewing but don't know where to start? We can help with that! Learn how to take your own measurements and how to use those numbers to pick out the right size pattern.

If you've ever wondered not just how to take your own measurements, but which ones you even should take? You will learn how to measure yourself, which measurements to take, and how to use those measurements to pick out the right pattern size to start sewing your own garments.

It is recommended that you wear slightly tight clothing, to get the most accurate measurements. If possible, bring a garment or two that you really like the fit of, so you can see how your body measurements translate to well-fitting garment measurements.
