  • Why ready sewing patterns don’t work

    Ready-made sewing patterns seem like a shortcut to crafting bespoke garments. However, they often fall short due to several reasons:

    Inaccurate sizing: Ready patterns use standardized sizes, which may not fit your unique body shape, leading to garments that are too tight or loose.
    Limited design options: These patterns offer limited styles and variations, restricting your creativity and the uniqueness of your creations.
    Complex instructions: The instructions accompanying ready-made patterns can be confusing and overwhelming, making it difficult for beginners to follow.
    Lack of customization: The fixed measurements and designs in ready patterns hinder the ability to tailor garments to specific preferences or alterations.
    * Fit issues: The lack of individual fittings in ready patterns can result in garments that don’t drape or fit properly, reducing comfort and aesthetics.
