 | Fast Fit review Jul 7, 2008 |
This book is well written and very helpful. Everyone should have this book if they have problems fitting clothes. Also had very fast service when it was shipped.

| I really like the way this book is put together. You can find any area that you want to alter the pattern for easily and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. It is great for anyone needing to alter patterns for themselves or others. | | | | A great INTRODUCTION to pattern adjustments for beginners Jul 19, 2007 |
| Okay, I love this book! I'm brand-new to garment sewing and the first pattern I sewed was such a disaster that it went straight to Goodwill!! The best thing about Fast Fit is that it is not intimidating and it gives a good overview of how to figure out what exactly your particular fitting problems are. I actually liked the cartoon photos, because they are by nature exaggerated and it made it very easy to tell where to look for garment wrinkles in the mirror to see if that was an issue for me. I discovered that I have big [...] (well okay, this wasn't a total surprise!) so I shouldn't use the full bust measurement to pick a pattern size, also that I need to make adjustments for a long torso and for my square and broad shoulders. I agree it's not the end-all book on the subject, but it's a good starting point for a beginner like me. | | | | almost excellent Jun 8, 2007 |
a quick reference book to correct patterns. I helps also to correct a few of skinny ladies' imperfections, which was quite a surprise in a world that thinks that round forms are a problem and too many bones showing are beauty!
I am absolutely happy of this book! | | |  | Ready-to-Wear fix-it Mar 9, 2007 |
| With the exception of her wrap knit top pattern, I'm not a fan of Sandra Betzina's patterns. They're just not my style. They're a bit dated and frankly aren't figure flattering. This book is a crystal clear exception. For those who prefer ready-made patterns who don't have a perfect figure, this is the book for you. I still have several patterns that I love and make my own alterations to them. I can't wait to try out her versions that are much simpler and easy to follow. I also sew for my mother and I expect that I will be making fewer alterations to the final product using the techniques in this book. Try and ignore the not-so-flattering color pictures that accompany each figure problem or you'll find yourself looking in the mirror a lot and asking, "do I really look like that"? | | | Write your own review about Fast Fit: Easy Pattern Alterations for Every Figure
