About the event

โœ‚๏ธ Ever wondered why shop-bought clothes never seem to fit properly? Too tight over the bust, too loose at the waist, sleeves that pull, or shoulders that never sit right? You're not alone! Most commercial sewing patterns are drafted for an "average" body that very few of us actually have. Imagine never having to fight with poor-fitting patterns again...
