    PERFECT FITGUIDE DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR SEWING PATTERN SIZE? Find out how to use your own measurements to determine? your pattern size. SimplicityFITGUIDE_Brochure_2015.indd 1 1/26/15 12:51 PM SIMPLICITY FIT GUIDE A guide for the perfect fit! Do you REALLY know your pattern size? Learn how to use your body measurements to determine your pattern size. Look at Size with New Eyes Begin by discarding any assumptions you may have about what size you wear. Then think about the last time you went clothes shopping. Did every garment in “your” size fit you? Of course not! Standard body measurements vary from one garment manufacturer to another. And the measurements used by your favorite ready-to-wear brands may not correspond to other ready-to wear brands or to the standard body measurements that are used to develop the patterns. The good news is that patterns are based on standard body measurements. Once you have compared your body measurements to the standard body measurements you can choose your pattern size (or sizes) and be all set to sew. 2 www.simplicity.com SimplicityFITGUIDE_Brochure_2015.indd 2 1/26/15 12:51 PM Measure & Compare The way to determine pattern size is to take accurate body measurements, then compare them with the standards. The illustrations and charts on the following pages will take you, step by step, through this process. In some cases, your pattern size may be one or two sizes larger than your ready-to-wear size. But PLEASE don’t let preconceived notions stand in the way of good fit.

  • Simplicity Sewing: Amazing Fit Pants with Deborah Kreiling
    Simplicity Sewing: Amazing Fit Pants with Deborah Kreiling Chapter 1 - Amazing Fit Pants Overview - Hi, I'm Deb Kreiling from Simplicity Pattern Company. I've worked with Simplicity for over 35 years. In my day to day life, I oversee all of the pattern development, the testing garments, the photo samples, the written instructions, the illustrations, and then quality control. I've had my hands on every single part of the production process. The benefit is that I know how to troubleshoot, but I also know how to get you the best pattern out in the market. I still love to sew and I make a lot of my own clothes. My advantage is I get to have them months before you do and I hope that you look forward to them as much as I do. We are going to make the Simplicity pattern 8056 from our Amazing Fit collection. I'm going to walk you through all the steps which include choosing the right pant pieces for your figure type, slim, average, or curvy, making a fly front with an underlap, stitching a yoke in a pocket, and a contoured waist band. Gonna take you step-by-step, take all the fear out of it, and you're going to end up with a perfectly fitted pair of pants. Materials - Let's review the materials we need for this class. First you need the pattern, it's simplicity pattern, 8056. It's available in two different size groups, AA for the misses size and that gets you 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and then the BB unit will get you from 20W to 28W.
