But I agree with you - it is so much easier with an extra set of hands. I've been re-reading the book, and it looks like our class followed along pretty much how the book is organized, so you could totally do this with a sewing friend. Or maybe even Man Friend, depending on what kind of reward you offer him!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-52207239948449155962013-12-13T10:39:30.477-06:002013-12-13T10:39:30.477-06:00Isn't it?

I have Fit for Real People, but I've never tried tissue fitting as I can't figure out how to do it on myself (I tend to work in muslin and put in a zipper so I can make fit changes with minimal help from husbie),Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-53932143875264810852013-12-13T04:15:21.002-06:002013-12-13T04:15:21.002-06:00Sounds like a really great course.

I need to do something like this. <br /><br />I just discovered that the sewing lounge here in Minneapolis offers a little something like this with Louise Molin but it's by the half hour. If I could just get a bodice sloper it would be worth it. I'm working through fit adjustments but man how much easier it would be to have an expert do the work rather than me as a novice guessing.
