Perfect Pattern Matching: Plaids, Stripes And Beyond

In this class, popular sewing instructor Amy Alan is here to help you create garments that look better than anything you’ll find on the rack. She starts by showing you how to choose the right sewing pattern for plaids, stripes, or prints and how to estimate the yardage you’ll need. From there, she guides you through the process of tracing your pattern pieces to ensure that your patterns match across seams.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Amy takes you beyond the basics of pattern matching and shows you how to identify the type of stripes or plaids you’re working with, and how to create pattern layouts for matching these and other patterns with confidence. And for those who want to go the extra mile, Amy even shows you how to use the bias grain of your fabric to create pockets, plackets, and cuffs.

With step-by-step guidance on how to match patterns as you sew straight seams, curved seams, and even invisible zipper seams, this class is the ultimate guide to perfect pattern matching. So, whether you’re an experienced sewer or just starting out, this tutorial will help you take your skills to the next level.

Amy Alan is a talented instructor who teaches sewing at Modern Domestic in Portland, Ore., and blogs at Really Handmade. She’s been crafting since she was a child and has always had a passion for turning the everyday into art. So, what are you waiting for? Join Amy in the “Perfect Pattern Matching: Plaids, Stripes & Beyond” video tutorial and start creating garments that are truly one-of-a-kind!
