I started with my size. Pati

Hi, My jacket was a patter for McCall's 5716 from 2008. You may be able to search and find it. Thank you for liking it. This outfit is now in the historic costume collection at Oregon State University. Pati Palmer

Interesting. I've not heard that before. I always use steam which activates the fusing agent. I worked for the Armo Interfacing Co. when fusibles were invented and that was how their laboratories did it.

@@PalmerPletschVideo My sewing teacher taught us to use steam for interfacing as well.

If you lengthen the crotch or legs, yes! Pati

That would be interesting. Go for it!!

Kelly, If you fit a pant pattern for a woven fabric, then want to make it in a ponte, the main changes will be to take in the side seams and pull up the pants to turn the top under to make a casing for elastic if you want pull-on. You may still need to add more for that casing. Ponte is one of the firmer knits but still grows on the body because of the stretch. Hope this helps!! Pati

@@PalmerPletschVideo 😍 Fan Girl Moment! Pati answered ME. 💕 Thanks for the response! Yes, I had thought about the extra for a casing. Just wasn't sure about which way to treat it. It is a double knit, but it is stable... what is it going to do? I have had gabardine grow on me before.🙄 I know you love wool, but I live in south Texas. No wool. 😁

We get that question a lot. You could go to a larger size, however, the garment is often too large in the neck, shoulder, and chest areas and the sleeves often hang over the shoulders. Fit is an art, not a science. It is why we, after over 40 years of teaching fit, keep learning and getting better. And you will too. Pati

So glad you do! Thank you. Pati

All of the instructions have been written and printed with art in this pattern's guidesheet. Helen decided to create samples and film the construction as another way to help you understand the construction! (Thank you Helen!) When you get the pattern, you can look at the video while reading the guidesheet. I think you'll be fine!

So sorry. My husband speaks German but doesn't sew. Some programs can translate like maybe Adobe PDF app. Might have to scan or take a picture? I am not sure. Try searching for a translation app for books. Hope this helps. Pati

Thank you. It is funny that this topic was brought up during our 5-day Sewing Camp Workshop last week with the same conclusion by our long term campers. Very coincidental! Ha. Pati

Thank you for the nice comments. I am sorry we are not offering the entire video free. This is a synopsis of our video that is available for purchase on palmerpletsch.com. Marta fits several women including a plus size who is very full busted. If we didn't sell the 2-hour class there would be no royalties for the creator, Marta Alto, for all of her time working on producing this video not to mention the years of developing the tissue-fitting method. I hope you will understand. Sincerely, Pati Palmer

They do. It depends on the knit and the style you choose. For in-depth on fitting knits, we include fitting knit pants in our book Knits for Real People.

Glad that helped!

Thank you for liking our system of tissue-fitting and for giving such a thorough review.

I would follow the same steps and the crotch topstitching the finished off the bottom of the fly will just be the center front seam of the skirt topstitched down in a mock flat felled seam.

Thank, Lois! ❤️

Helen is so good at these videos!. Thanks Helen! Pati

(Blushing) thank you! I'm glad the tutorial is helpful.

Thank you. Nice comments make the work worth it!!

You are welcome! You can find more PalmerPletshDigital.com. They are the full video classes 1 1/2 up to 3 hours of video depending on the topic. Because we filmed, edited, and pay a royalty to the talent, they are reasonably priced but not free like the clips. When I selected clips, I tried to make them long enough to be valuable. Glad you are learning from them. Pati Palmer

I've done blogs on jackets including this one. You can find them on the Palmerpletsch.com website on the blog tab>sewing blogs. Enjoy and hope these help. Good luck!! Don't think about how long it takes to tailor a jacket, think how many hours you will be able to wear it!!

You are only fitting half of your body and if your sides are a little different you will tweak in fabric. We use 1" side and inseam allowances to make that possible. Glad you are willing to try. Pati

@@PalmerPletschVideo The more I consider it the better it sounds.

Hi, Thank you for the nice comments. Just sew up the front on the center front seamlines and leave just 5/8" seam allowance. In our Pant book there are many elastic waist options including one with elastic in the back only. Hope you find it in the book. Pati

You're welcome!

The amount of crotch length really depends on what your body needs. For example, full front thighs need more front crotch length so you'd let out the front inseam. A flat derriere often needs less and you would take in the back inseam.I hope this helps. Pati

The It's in the Details and the Jackets videos from palmerpletschdigital.com include pockets as well as the jeans video. Pati

You will want the pants to be 3" larger than your hip measurement, so select the size with the FGM that much larger than your hips. Sometimes even more when the fabric has no streatch, but our pant patterns have 1" out and in-seam allowances which gives you some leeway. Hope this helps.

You can get it from our website or Amazon. Shipping may be a little out of site. That is why you can order a digital copy of our books at palmerpletschdigital.com. There is a demonstration on the site showing you how they work. It is pretty exciting. Pati

Fabrics with good drape often fit the easiest such as rayons. Cotton stretch fabrics are great for your weather and you can fit them snugly. I have to lower my back crotch more when I make tight pants. Lightweight linen is currently popular and fits well as a looser style. Watch for our upcoming blogs because several are on pants. If you sign up for our mailing list we will email you each time there is a new one. Love Australia. My daughter married an Aussie.

Glad it was helpful!

Oh my, that would be limiting. Maybe you need a fabric with stretch??

You are so welcome

Awesome! Thank you!

Marta was using McCall's 6172 which was one of the best I've designed. You could check with our warehouse and see if we have any left or you could Google the number. Patterns come and go, but Butterick 6862 is our latest, but a little more difficult than my daughter's McCall's 7818. Pati

Thank you!

Nope, just pinned on the seamlines. The pattern has 1" seam allowances just in case!

Thank you! 😊

We just posted dates for 2023 on palmerpletsch.com. Classes are limited to 6 and we have waitlists when one fills. We also have 4 locations in the US. Pati
