Hi Everyone and Welcome Back to My Bucolic Life Channel. Meet my new sewing project.
If you have been around a while, you know that I focus on the Big 4... or one or whatever they are as a standard for my pattern choice. BUT today I brought out a Lutterloh book from the early 80's to make up a simple dress just to test out the method. I am intrigued to say the least! If you have never looked into this pattern making system, I hope you take a peek to see how I did. Some ups and some downs. Definitely lessons learned!

Would absolutely love to see more patterns being made from Lutterloh system. Many people all over the world have this system, but they don't know how to put them together step by step. Excellent RUclips opportunity that would help many world wide. Especially if they are new patterns people can purchase easily, thanks
Please more Lutterloh videos. ❤
For me the value in this video was not so much exploring the Luterloh method but seeing you apply your knowlege and skills in constructing the garment. I found this more useful and informative than when you follow the instructions for a big four pattern. For that reason I would like to watch more Luterloh makes. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
Thank you, I do plan on doing another one of their patterns soon.
My goodness! I took their class a loooong time ago, spent a bunch of money on all the goodies, got it home....and forgot everything I learned.😖😵 Now I've got to dig that kit out from the depths of my sewing stuff and give it another whirl. Wish me luck😂😃
Love that fabric!
I love your black cat. I had a fluffy one just like him. It is SO VERY SWEET how he meows at the end of the videos.
That string method for elastic is great!!!
Wow! That was an interesting RUclips! I learned a lot about the Lutterloh system as well as a very cool new way to put elastic in! Very pretty dress and fabric!
Regarding the side seams not matching: It is common in pattern drafting to add a little extra length to one side of a seam that is meant to be eased into another piece (just like on sleeve caps). It usually occurs at side seams on pants, skirts, and sleeves where the back is cut just a little longer than the front. This gives just a little more shaping to go over the roundness of bottoms, thighs, calves, and arm muscles Lutterloh does this often. I got my Lutterloh set about the same time you did. It is true that it is not for beginners. You have to know how to cut your own facings, plus other techniques. Unless you have the perfect proportions of a Greek statue, you will have to go through all the steps of pattern fitting once you cut out your paper pattern. BUT it is great for experimenting. It is very useful if you are into costume making or sew for a lot of family members. Some of the elements can be mixed and matched, like sleeves and armholes. I had to alter my expectations of the system early on but I’m glad I’ve got it and I use it often.
Hi Marie,
I was just wondering about this system... I had seen someone using it and was going to look it up... and boom there you are using it for this amazing dress... I would love to see some more makes with it, like pants and blouses etc... Im very much considering this system... loved how your dress turned out...😊
I have a set that I bought in the ninety's, but never used because it was a bit intimidating as I need to do a full lbust adjustment. You mentioned trying one in another video, yeh ! After seeing your video, I just purchased a vintage 1970's version off of ebay, and I am so excited to see these older designs. More Lutterloh, please!
Great dress 🎉 would love a copy of the toddler pattern if possible !!! Absolutely adore your vintage machines I have three and love how they sew so beautifully 😊
Love it. The neck line is fire. I dnt care for turtle necks. This would be perfect. The marble top is a perfect fit for the cargo pants.
Hi Marie. Somehow I didn't finish watching this when it first came out. Just finished it a week later. I've seen this system and thought of buying it. I decided not to because I don't sew enough to make it worth my while, but if I find it in a thrift store I'm getting it. Thank you for such a fun video.
Thanks sooo much for sharing, can’t wait to use my system!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I like the independence designing our own patterns gives us.
This was great thanks for sharing and would be happy to see more from this system ❤
Great video! So much great information! Thank you!
I was on the fence about putting this on my "Christmas list".....but now after seeing you do start to finish.... I think i will. 😊. It's intriguing...and a diff thought process. Love the idea of owning a whole wardrobe of patterns in a small compact book. Thabks again for showcasing your talents of troubleshooting and making things work.❤
Wow! That was so interesting, and you did it! Amazing job Marie.
Wow! I have never heard of this system but I am super excited about it. I would love it if you would consider doing more videos on this system. I am seriously considering buying it. So cool!
U tried lutterloh im excited!
The dress came out real pretty and nice fit. I myself will not try it, but it really was fun to watch how it’s done.
Well, thanks for this video. I have never heard of this! My oldest sister did some kind of pattern- making system back in the 1970s, but I paid no attention. She was such a good sewist that she made her husband's suits!
This was a learning experience. I like that string method of pulling elastic, never seen it before. Thanks again for your wonderful instructions.
I rather like it - and I'd be very happy to see you do more of them because you are a great educator, Marie. Things like this give those of us who are less experienced in construction a tutorial i\on how to plan your own construction and what options you've got. (Which, of course, can't help but make for a better seamster). This is very handy for those times you've got a great pattern but no instructions on how to put the thing together or they assume you know things you, ahem, don't!
Hi Marie, I've just found your channel and am very pleased with your instruction skills. I'll be using my Lutterloh system this year and I'm so excited to find your teaching on using the system. Thanks 😅
I have seen these before and found the instructions totally confusing. As usual, you make it seem simple! I like how you incorporated an unusual fabric into your design idea.
This was one of your best videos- good tips, points, teaching points. Thank you and Happy & Blessed New Year!
I loved watching this. I purchased a vintage Lutterloh kit (sans ruler!) and this has me thinking about finding a ruler and giving it a try.
I’d love to see more of these from you because I think it suits your creative process of modifying a pattern to work for you.
Thanks for another great video!
I’ve never heard of this system, you did a great job demonstrating it! Not sure i could be bothered with it all, I’m fabulous at buggering up anything i have to measure 😂.
Your dress turned out fabulous, very peasant-y looking and comfortable. You always find such interesting fabrics!
I tried one of these via free givaway on facebook. The pattern was for a button down shirt. My biggest fitting issue is very small shoulders and VERY large upper arms. My solution was to make shoulder and neck dots using my upper bust measurment (36") .Then i measured the bicept size for my full bust, 42", decided how much more i needed and used a larger bust measurement for the sleeve and corresponding armscye dots (48"). I used my full bust of 42" for all the rest of the dots on the shirt top. The sleeve sewed in perfectly and fit perfectly, so did the shoulder and chest. Really great experience for first time use.
What a cool way to modify. Thanks!
I've by been intrigued by this system
Enjoyed watching this. Would like to see more.
Loved this. I have lutterloh as well and have made some patterns but haven't used it lately. Should really start again. Hope you will be making more and sharing them.
I’m so glad you showed this tutorial,like you I have had this system for a lot of years probably less than yours I did nothing with it till this year until the summer when I came across it and decided to make a dress with it I was quite pleased with the result. It was sleeveless I was told you could use any of the sleeve patterns from the other garments on patterns and mix and match but oh boy I just could not get them to fit I have sewn for a lot of years and had to adjust my patterns as my body has changed with age . However watching how you handled the sleeve in this tutorial has given me heart to try again thank you so much. 😊
Good luck!
I have that and now I will try it!
And there it is...'I'm ginna let the feet dogs ease that in'...just love this😂😊😂
Fantastic! Found that really interesting. Just learning about sizing and changing patterns to fit.
Thank you for this tutorial, I have that system and I’ve never used it I’m excited to try it. As usual your make is beautiful!
I'm the same Jacki, may have to dig mine out and have a go. Thank you Marie - my bucolic life, great video x x
I have that same Lutterloh system year (thanks to my Grandma cleaning out her sewing room, lol) and I have been eyeing this dress pattern every time I browse through the book! Now I have to try it since you have so conveniently posted a tutorial 😂
Love your videos, thank you so much for your content!
That's great. I really like a lot of the patterns in this collection. Enjoy!!
I love this video. Marie you did great because the pattern doesn't have construction direction. I myself sometimes read instructions but mostly I don't, I blame my ADHD. I would love another video from you using this method, if you would please. You have so much sewing knowledge and Bishop method, and logical sense it helps alot. Thank you a million times. Maybe a jacket or something that has lining/ interfacing. But again only if you'd like. ❤❤❤
I love watching you work through new methods. But, honestly, I love watching you work on really basic patterns, too.
I found you because I was having trouble with my mccalls pattern, and you explained the collar perfectly. Not that i have gotten the courage to finish it, but I have all the advice i need for when i'm ready, thanks to you :)
All that is to say - i'll watch most anything you do, Marie!
Thank you! 😊
I have loved the Lutterloh system for a few years now, and I absolutely like that I can modify a pattern the way I want it. I find that I wouldn't need too many supplements because the base set and a few of the supplements give someone a really robust collection of patterns. I agree it is not for beginners, but honestly, with good references, as you mentioned, it is a great way to learn sewing without some of the confusing methods offered by the big four pattern companies. I really enjoyed watching this video -- thank you for sharing!
What s great video! It's definitely an interesting system & i can see where you would definitely need some construction experience in how to actually assemble a garment as a newbie could be very confused. You're fabric choices always intrigued me. They look great on you... I'm just not sure i have the "eye". I would see that fabric & think...that could never be a pretty garment... But, you've done it, again! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Marie! I’m so happy to see you using this system. I’ve always been interested but I’ve never seen the system used for a complete garment. I do sew from the Burda style magazine frequently which tracing is a must. Having the Bonfit pattern system, which I love for pants, I find that the sizing is very close to Burda patterns! Thank you for sharing😊.
Interesting method and it was an education watching you. I don't think I will try it myself but what you produced was as usual v good xx
I watched someone else show how to use this system awhile ago. It’s a bit intimidating to me, not being much of a garment maker.🥴 Kudos to you for making this effort and sharing it on RUclips.🙌 Good idea to add seam allowances when you think of it! I like your tape measure method. Someone else I saw once was using 2 pencils connected together with a rubber band to add seam allowances on a pattern. I guess whatever works best for you is good.😉
Love your inspirationial video …. I enjoy my Lutterloh patterns … I think the pattern number is 83 ?
I have done a few Lutterloh patterns. Some with great success others which didn’t work out. The newer present day system are probably more accurate. I did a 1960 PJ set that I absolutely love. I tried a 1970s caftan pattern which I couldn’t get to work (way too small). Once drafted you do need to true seams, I also check measurements at bust, waist and hip to make sure there is enough ease before cutting any fabric. You do need sewing experience for this. Another issue I have sometimes found the odd dot is out of place. Also I do photo copy my pattern pieces it doesn’t matter if they print out at a different size. Dart and pocket placement can also be a head scratcher. Other than that it can be a fun system.
❤❤
I have a lutterloh kit and I have had some good results. However, you do have to make the standard fit alterations which you would for big 4 patterns…leg length etc. it is good to know that the circumference measurements will fit though. You do have to put your own grainline on as well. Not a problem with the larger pieces, but facings and odd shaped pieces like collars can be tricky.
Thank you SOOO much for this vlog! This was very informative. There’s not too many RUclipsrs experimenting with the Lutterloh. Since hearing of the Lutterloh, I’ve been searching for information on it to gage wether it’s worth my purchasing as the product is very expensive. I have a few years of sewing under my belt and I also a large collection of patterns.
My intention is to stop buying patterns and gain knowledge on drafting my own bodice/skirt/pants then style per my creative mood that day.
So if this product allows me to do that and all I have to do is add the bells and whistles based on their pattern design, then maybe it’ll be worth my purchase. Based on your experience with it, do you think the Lutterloh meets my goal?
Thanks again for this vlog and for your channel. You are the GREATEST!!
I think since you know how to sew well right now, I think it would be a good fit. Now once you trace out and create your own pattern you're going to have to store those, but that's not always a bad thing. 😊
I’ve been interested in this system for some time so thank you for your thoughts on it. Think I would only consider second hand though 😊
This is the first time watching one of your vids. What beautiful sewing machines you have! Where did you find them!? I’m waiting for my Lutterlo system to arrive. Thanks for the video. Oh! I just subscribed to your channel.
I love all of my sewing machines. I restore them. If you get a chance take a look at my other channel called Promethean sewing machines. Good luck with your new patterns
I love using the Lutterloh system, especially the versatility and creativity it allows me. Nice find on the vintage system. A couple helpful hints on the sleeve pattern markings. First, the front of the sleeve is indicated with a small letter “V” near the top of the side seam. Second, the center of the sleeve cap is indicated with a small line that extends from the center cap dot into the pattern a short way.
I have this system but not the tape measure. I’ve been unable to find one. Any ideas where I could get it? I do have all the other rulers.
Btw great video and yes please do more! My creative juices are flowing!
Maybe look on the lutterloh website?
Umm I have that which I did buy back in the 80’s 😳😳but then Mom and I went to Fashion school to learn proper pattern making and designing 😹😹 totally forgot I had it somewhere in my boxes of packed sewing room. Will have to see if I can dig it out and see which year I bought mine in 😹😹
Do you know you're going to want to find it now. There are some amazing styles in there.
Marie can you provide me the information about the most through sewing book in your stash. Looking add to my library and I would like to add a couple books that go into more details than my stack of Singer books I purchased many years ago. Thanks

Have you seen this video yet? All about books I recommend
So very beautiful 😊 where did you get the fabric? It’s fabulous!!!
Great tutorial and your dress is lovely. Just thinking about the seam allowance, would it be possible to simply add say 1cm to the measurements you are marking? Would love to see you make other garments using this system. It's genius.
That's a good idea - this system would make it very easy - at the "dotting" stage - to get both your seam line and your cutting line onto the paper pattern... Hmmm... I like it!
It's your pattern. Once the seam lines are drawn you can use whatever seam allowance you would like. 😄
I understand that of course. I was thinking it would be quite easy just to increase the measurement being marked during the pattern creation process to include the seam allowance instead of marking the seam allowance after creating the pattern piece.
Its been years since my SIL had this system, we both found the dots were not always accurate. She used it a couple of times and sold it. That was 1969...😉
My experience with Lutterloh is that the backs are almost always longer. I think the European's ease that length difference in the hip area so that the rear hem doesn't hike up because of the bum.
Oooh...what a thought! 😮 Dresses have always have hiked up in the back. Never thought about easing hip seams to account for that instead of doing a FSA. Or maybe even just doing a slight high/low hem.
That's so interesting!! Thanks
i've tried making a simple top but I've noticed that the pattern I draw compared to the one in the book comes out wrong what should I do
All I can suggest is doublecheck all of the numbers. Good luck
HI dear where can i buy the lutterloh
system
I bought mine used on eBay.
Where did you get the paper you are using
Amazon, look in my description links.
Can you share a link to the tracing paper please
It's in the description Amazon links
36" tracing paper 😁
There’s a chart that says what all those abbreviations mean.
Just curious why you didn’t just use a safety pin to get the elastic though?
I prefer other methods, that's all. 😊 If that method makes you happy too for it!
I never did the. Hip ease thing.
Definitely don't have any interest in sewing bras .
