For amateur sewists who want to bring their craft to the next level in accuracy, The Perfect Fit offers detailed explanations of the role and meaning of each line on a pattern, and how to build basic patterns for tops, sleeves, skirts, and pants that you can alter for ideal style and fit. Discover the skills necessary to draw the patterns that will bring your imagined garments to life!
