The Palmer/Pletsch Tissue-fitting Method
Marta Alto and Pati Palmer developed the tissue-fitting method while fitting thousands of women. Now they share what they’ve learned with YOU in this book, which covers tops, dresses, jackets, coats, and skirts. (Look to Pants for Real People for pant-specific fitting.)
• It’s practical!
• Works with all patterns from all pattern companies!
• It’s nearly measure free!
• There’s no need to draft every design from scratch!
• There’s no need to make a muslin!
In this book, you will learn this fitting process. We will show it to you in several ways so that you can really absorb and understand it, then apply it to everything you sew.
If you follow our tissue-fitting order, you will be
more successful. If you start practicing using a
Palmer/Pletsch McCall’s pattern that already has the
alteration lines printed on the tissue, it will be easier.
Learning to fit is a process. The more you do it, the better you get. The best fabric and the finest workmanship relies on getting a good fit. In fact, 25% of your sewing time should be spent fitting!
