Fitting Confidence 2.0

READY TO GET STARTED?

I'm pretty sure that you're here because you love sewing and you either spend hours browsing Pinterest looking at amazing clothes that you'd like to create, or you spend hours rifling through the pattern section in your local sewing shop (I know both are a time for dreaming).

But when you go to create your own clothes, the results are... well, OK, they sometimes kind of work but other times... alterations pile here we come!

I know the feeling, we've all been there!

It's time we changed this and that's where Fitting Confidence, my 8-week program for learning how to create perfectly fitting clothes and sewing patterns, comes in...

Imagine if...

It didn't feel frustrating trying to fit your sewing patterns and clothes to your shape and size?

You felt confident using your expensive fabric and trims because you knew you could create that beautiful shirt to fit to perfection so it became a go-to piece in your wardrobe?

You had the confidence and knowledge to be able to alter all the clothes in your alterations pile - so there would be no 'alterations pile'?

AND if you'd love to draft your own sewing patterns or fancy starting... you already had the starting point drawn up (aka pattern blocks/slopers that fit your unique size) so you're ready to start creating sewing patterns to your dream designs custom to your size and shape straight away?

You could even alter or create sewing patterns to fit your friends, family and even a client's unique size and shape!

If you want any/all of those dreams to come true then you're in the right place!

This really is possible for you too!

Maybe you've tried watching a few YouTube videos and reading a couple of blogs but it's just not quite worked and it's taken hours just to find them?

We've all gone down the YouTube/Blog rabbit hole and I know it can get pretty frustrating!

This is because:
👉 every project is different

👉 most of the time you're watching or reading something specific to what they're making (not what you're making)

👉 you're not learning the why behind the pattern cutting techniques

👉 you don't have the chance to ask what you need to really understand the process and the effects of each adjustment

What you actually need to know is the why and how each alteration can create a domino effect of other alterations and this is what I will teach you.

Every project is different so with the knowledge of the 'why' you too will be able to apply the techniques to work for each individual creation!

Who's really behind the course?

Hey, I'm Sarah and I'm the creator of Fitting Confidence. I'm from the Cotswolds in the UK and I'm on a mission to help you create the clothes you've always dreamt of so they look stunning and fit perfectly too!

Having studied at London College of Fashion, worked in the fashion industry for many years, and taught sewing and pattern cutting classes both in-person and online I really do know my stuff.

With arms longer than a piece of string and a torso and legs to match, I used to really struggle with tops being too short, armholes too high and the list goes on. This is why I've made this course so you too can create clothes which really fit you so they look and feel great too!

FAQs

I don't have a 'normal' shaped body. Will this work for me?

What I've learnt over the years is there is no 'normal' and that's exactly why I've developed Fitting Confidence so that you can create your 'normal' with ease (excuse the pun)

I'm new to sewing will this be too advance for me?

If you've sewn up just a few sewing patterns this is the PERFECT time to master the fit as then you cut out the alterations pile all together!

I'll even be guiding you through the sewing process as we create our toiles (prototypes) so you'll not only upgrade the fit of your clothes but I'm sure you'll upgrade your sewing game too!

Do you offer a discount if I'm inside one of your other courses?

Yes, of course, go inside the course you're already part of and check the ‘what next’ section.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, you can pay in 6 monthly instalments
