Why is it so Hard to Find Pants that Fit?

Women come in all shapes, sizes, and styles.

So do pants.  Shorts, ankle-length, wide-leg, tapered leg - the variations are almost endless.

But none of them look good unless they fit well. Unless they fit YOU.

At 5'2" and a size 16, I know all too well that "off the rack" pants don't fit every woman.  I have to alter every pair I buy.

It's a never-ending battle!

Finding pants that fit your figure is hard.
MAKING them fit your figure is relatively easy!

Making pants, and getting them to fit properly, can be intimidating. 

But it doesn't have to be.  With a basic pant block, drafted to your measurements, you'll have the basis for pants of any style you like - and they'll all fit perfectly, with no alterations!

And drafting the block isn't as hard as you think.

In fact, drafting a pant block is easier than drafting a dress!  There is no sleeve, bodice, or skirt - just a front and back leg pattern.  And there are fewer measurements to take!

The "Beginner's Guide to Drafing a Pant Block" is the Start of a Whole New Pant Wardrobe

When you draft a block from your own measurements, you'll get a better fit than using a commercial fitting pattern. You'll have fewer fit corrections to deal with when fitting your block.

And with a well-fitting pant block, you'll have a good, basic pattern from which you can design any style you like! 

Make the legs wide, narrow, or shaped (like boot cut or bell bottoms).  Make any length you like.  Add a shaped yoke or a stylized waistband.

Or combine the pant with a bodice and make a jumpsuit!

With illustrated instructions and over an hour of video demonstrating the steps, we'll take you through the process, step-by-step. Don't worry, we're there to help!


What's Included With the "Beginner's Guide to Drafting A Pant Block"?

This in-depth tutorial includes:

  • An introduction that tells you what you'll need to get started (and it's not much!  Some paper, pencils, and a couple of specialty rulers are all you need).
  • Illustrated, step-by-step instructions for drafting the front and back pant leg using your measurements.
  • More than an hour of video demonstrating each of the steps.  Using the videos in conjunction with the illustrated instructions make the process easy! The videos are available either online (on a password-protected page, for the digital version of the tutorial) or on the DVD.
  • A bonus video showing you how to take the measurements you'll need to draft the block, along with a measurement sheet to record the information so you'll have it handy as you draft.
  • Instructions for "truing" you pattern - how to ensure that the pieces fit together properly and that you've added grainlines and markings for easy cutting and stitching.
  • A video on basic fitting techniques, to help you get the right fit, right from the start.
  • Another bonus - a separate tutorial (with videos, of course!) showing you how to then use your dress bodice (or a commercial blouse pattern) to make a jumpsuit block.  Jumpsuits are making a comeback!  They're so easy to wear, and can be made to look like  a blouse and pants, or a one-piece style.
