Measurements are one thing but that doesn't always allow for varying figures. Even those that are made to measure have to be fitted. Any system of pattern making has to come with some effort to fit the body. Patterns are made for an average person who doesn't actually exist. And don't think you're alone in the fit problem. If you use Lutterloh, or have an interest, I would love to talk with you!ĭidi please don't give up on sewing. I know that Ralph Lutterloh attends the big sewing shows in the UK. There is a Lutterloh distributor in Mexico City and she sends me the updates. It only took me a little while to get back up to speed after a nearly 20 year hiatus. I purchased it and have been sewing for myself since then. Then someone on PR was selling a complete system very cheaply. I struggled with Big 4 patterns and finally gave up sewing garments. Some of my boxes did not get delivered to MX on our initial trip, and my Lutterloh system was in one of those boxes. And I have even made mother/daughter outfits. i could make on-trend clothes that fit her. My 15 year-old daughter was quite a bit larger. I purchased the system and went crazy sewing and mixing and matching pattern pieces. I started with them back in the 80s when I attended a seminar at a fabric store. I make 99% of my clothing using Lutterloh patterns. Lutterloh! Lutterloh! Lutterloh!Do you have the system? Have you used it?
