Who is Vee Tanner...
Vee Tanner is an award-winning costume maker and sewing teacher.
She learnt how to draft patterns from scratch using a whole bunch of detailed measurements. Which is ok if you know what your final garment will look like.
She’s also tried other methods like draping where you drape and pin fabric over a dressmaker’s form, but that only works if you have a form that is your exact size.
Another option is to choose a ready-made pattern.
But if you’re not a standard size (and let’s face it, what’s a standard size anyway?) then chances are you will have to make adjustments (eg you may have heard of terms like full bust adjustments, lengthen, shorten) which can be tricky especially if you’re a beginner sewer.
She came across the Lutterloh pattern drafting system and was impressed and surprised at how little alteration for fit is needed.
So now she regularly uses the Lutterloh pattern drafting system to create clothes and costumes for all sorts of shapes and sizes and teaches its use too.
You might be wondering how can the Lutterloh pattern drafting system be so accurate?
Well the system is based on a phenomenon called the Golden Rule which says that the human body is in perfect mathematical proportion within itself.
With just TWO measurements you can easily scale up the miniature patterns with a special tape measure and then you have a pattern ready to cut out and stitch in your lush fabric.
The system comes as a kit which includes a huge selection of styles (280 patterns) to choose from - tops, skirts, dresses, trousers, shorts as well as styles suitable for plus and slim figures, children and men - so you could be making stunning, well-fitting clothes for you and all your family.
Make sure you're registered for the free masterclass where Vee will be demonstrating how she uses the system to create perfectly fitting clothes and how you can further your dressmaking skills and repertoire.
