Tips for easier solo garment fitting

February 2, 2015 by Anne Weaver

Unless you have a dress form, sewing garments for yourself also means trying to assess and fix fit on yourself. It usually means standing in front of a mirror trying to catch glimpses of the garment from limited (and awkward) angles, or reaching around to pull a garment in place. You can make it easier on yourself, though. Katrina from Katrina Kay Creations has some tips to help make solo fitting go more smoothly.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
