Check Your Thread: Sewing More Sustainably

#96: Pattern Fitting Q&A with Kate Roberts


Listen Later

This week’s episode is the second with pattern cutting and fit expert, Kate Roberts from Project Patterns. We talk about how we can build up our own bank of fitting knowledge, and we get into some trouser fitting nitty gritty. Kate also explores how to adapt seemingly gendered sewing patterns for different bodies.
