Hi Greetings from France 🥰🌹. I have had mine since 1987. I assisted Mr. LUTTERLOH,'s demo every year at a Craft Show in Paris, never got bored. Mr. LUTTERLOH smiles at all the visitors when he sees the amazement in their faces. From that miniature design and the MAGIC RULER it's unbelievable how the calculations were made. But the results are incredible. I also purchased the buttonhole marker, this is also helpful. When I need information I call him, he is so polite and always ready to advise. Have a great sunny weekend. At 11.40 it's 35°C already. 💖💐
I heard about this a week ago and today I was sorting out my father's sewing tools since he had a stroke a year ago and can no longer sew. He made us bath robes, pants and shirts. He was born the same year as the Golden Rule system. Surprise! I found the Golden rule tools in a drawer! It was as if I had found a big jar of candy. I can hardly wait to start making my patterns. Thank you so much for the lesson.
When I was teaching a class on making clothing, I came across the idea of using "easy liner select grip shelf liner". I cut it to size of the pattern. This allowed me to use just a couple of pins because it gripped the material so it didn't move, and I was able to use a magic marker to make all notes right in the shelf liner. After class, I can just roll up the shelf liner and store, I've got some that are over five years old. Hope this helps.
I bought 2 of these rulers at a thrift store - didn’t know what they were I’ve been wanting to up-cycle and 😮 my mind is blown how these rulers work!! I turned 1 day old today 😂 learned something new at 58! Haha- so happy to find your channel yours is the best to show how to use and I love the system book!
“The golden rule” is also why the “measurements” of a women are included in beauty pageants. It actually is the scientific method of judging physical traits. I learned about this also while taking courses in sewing/fashion. For my final exam, I had to make a garment for someone and include how that person’s measurements differed from the golden rule and the pattern chosen and how much I had to alter the pattern to fit. It is very fascinating!
OMG-I bought this system for a sewing class I took in 1981! I got busy with life and kids and forgot how to use it! But you have made it SO easy to understand. I got back into sewing recently and your video has got me excited to stretch myself. Thank you so much! Your calm voice and quiet demeanor is what I needed.
Can you tell me how to put some of them together? Because mine came with zero sewing instructions. Also, how do you get more patterns?
I’ve never heard of this! I took a drafting coarse a few years ago, showing how to adjust commercial patterns and in some cases, draft from a piece of clothing. and not once was this mentioned ! This is genius!
I have this system that I bought back in the 80s. I couldn’t remember how to use it. I want to pull all my items out and give it a go!
My cousin by marriage lost her mother after a very long and blessed life. She was an amazing hobbyist! My cousin not having the crafting bug herself asked me to come and help her sort through her mother’s many crafting items. Among them what’s this system! After many hours of sorting and research I completed my task and asked my cousin if she would sell me some of the items. I bought this system from her and have since tucked it away and forgotten about it🤦🏻♀️ I’m so glad you reminded me of it! I very much want to use it! It looks incredible!
I’m 5’11” so as a young woman I had to make almost everything I wore. As time went on internet shopping gave me so many options, about the same time my focus shifted to quilting. Sometimes I miss garment construction and your vid offered a fascinating option! Thanks👏🏼👏🏼
Yes me also at 6 foot I made and still do my clothes or get them at goodwill etc and remake. When I was 5.7 it was wonderful everything fit BUT I kept growing.. Lol
Thank You So Much !!! I've heard of this Lutterhol System, many years back. Once I watched this video, l went out searching for this System, Amazon has currently SOLD OUT !!! POOR ME . AND You are most assuredly the reason ! A Million Times Thanking You..... SO HAPPY YOU BROUGHT US HERE !!!!!!
As someone who has used the Lutterloh system for many years, I thought your tutorial was the best one I've seen. Well done. The golden rule of proportion is the "ideal" and many of us will still need to adjust the pattern for our body.
I agree, this system does not reduce the need to make personal adjustments. I have not made clothing for many years, but I am sure that even with this system I would have to increase the length to the waistline, and then lower the bust darts.
@@janbeasley4251 i would need to do the opposite becauae i am shortwaisted. My lowest rib seems to be sitting right on top of my front hip bones.
Wow! Am I glad that I bumped into this video? Thank you so much.🤩
I totally forgot that I have that system! I bought it - maybe 20-30 years ago and never understood how to use it. I don't remember exactly where it is, but now I'm excited to find it and try it out! Thank you for this!
@@thegoldenrule5689 now that I found it I remember why I didn't use it. It wasn't large enough. Since I now know more about patterns than I did then I will try to enlarge them further.
@@mq5276 When you say they arent large enough - are you aware that there is a separate set for XL/XXL sizes over 110cm measurements?
I've had this system for years!!!! love it. what she didnt say is you can mix and match with the patterns with sleeves, collars, etc.
I suspect that, from years of sewing. I’m excited to use this system for the grandkids that grow so fast, and today’s clothes are cheaply made.
I love this video, being 5' 1" like yourself, hemming pants got me into sewing.
Aaah Laura, I just purchased my classic kit. (7/18/23) I even got a discount. Thank you for guiding me towards this system. You’re the best!
@ tess2hearts124
I've just written to Laura for info on where I can purchase the Golden Rule Tools, it may be a while before I receive a reply so I'm asking if you dont mind sharing the Info of where you have purchase your kit from
ie: the cost, what all is Included etc.
Thanks much
@@mangohogplumsummertime7191 - I purchased mine from the website (above), and it was on sale for $150.00..(the rulers, patterns, tape measurer, marker included).It sounds expensive, however, I made my first top and short set, and I couldn't believe how nice the fit was. I can always modify if needed. Learning what types of fabric work with the pattern is the most difficult to learn. If you have been sewing for sometime, it will be easy to figure out.
This makes me want to start sewing my own clothes again!
Hello from England. Have just bought this system. Thank you for your very clear instructions. Love your videos
Thanks, Laura. I am also a member of the 5'1" club and I sewed garments for myself and family for years before I became addicted to quilting but my body has changed so much since I had grown older so a lot of my commercial patterns no longer fit my body. I purchased the Lutterloh System many years ago and had forgotten all about it. Now I know that I don't have to buy more patterns for myself. Thanks so much for the reminder. You just saved me a whole lot of money!
I'm so glad you shared those instructions. I purchased the system/binder years ago at a class I took at Joans Fabric but had no idea how to use the patterns or why the tape measure had that particular piece on it. I have the tape measure, and both curved rulers which I do use in garment making, so I'm now ready to see how those patterns really work with just those 2 measurements. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I bought this system years ago. I find it very helpful as the difference between my bust and my hips is about 20 iinches. So using this system I am able to make clothes to fit me much better. There is for me a bit of a challenge going from my bust to hip measurements because they're so different. But I love the clothes I have made using this system. I can truly personalize it to fit my body dimensions. Thank you for sharing about this system Laura.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Enjoyed it
How can I get the book
@@kizcl6 You can find out about it here: www.lutterlohpatterns.com/ hope this helps
Where can I get this system file please?
I have this Lutterloh system and I do like that you can make your own patterns for any size. I love your suggestions about making copies of the pages to tape to the pattern paper. It saves the book patterns. I’ll have to get it back out and try one again. I got an end roll of newspaper from my local newspaper at now cost to me and the paper is just the right texture for pattern making. Thank again!
I’ve been using the inside of cereal boxes taped together...
What a wonderful idea! It's fun to see what you sewed. I really like the garments you made!
I'm ordering this fabulous system instead of the dress form I was planning to buy. This is so much easier.
Amazing! :) Have fun!
A dress form is still a very handy tool
We had a rep show up here in our local town, shared this type of pattern system many years ago. I was excited to be able to create my own fitted clothing, until he shocked us with the price. Maybe its come down, but I couldn't afford it at the time. I don't remember if the rulers and tape measure were included. I like the concept of how this works to any shape, your not excluded from any pattern because of size. Thanks Laura for a tutorial on this. Its like magic when I see how the pattern takes shape.
This looks like sew much fun. You look like a little doll in your outfits. This would make a great gift for a young sewer.
Wow I didn’t know that and I’m 66 ! Very interesting system and like you I’m always having to adjust patterns because not only I’m 5.2.. I’m a lot wider than you Laura 🤪. Love the clothing you have sewn.😘💐
Thanks 😊
Bought this system quite a few years ago and forgot I had it! Went into my stash and drafted a pattern for a nightgown. Within a couple of days, I had two new nighties that fit perfectly. So easy to use and lots of fun.
Great system. You are a great teacher. Thank you for explaining how to use the system.
OMG I love your site. I have learned so much from you to how to fold my fabric and now to drafting. I have always wanted to learn to draft my own pattern and thought when I retire in 2 weeks I would take a class. Then this morning I see your video. Thank you!!
I started sewing in 4-H about 60 years (gulp) ago. Went thru a phase where I made almost all my family’s clothes. This is the first I’ve heard of this! Thanks so much!
I have an older version of this book, but never tried it. I'll have to use it now that you've shown how to do it. It is similar to Sure Fit Designs.
You can find new magazines on our website if you need some fresh patterns! :)
That is absolutely fantastic, What a phenominal idea
Wow! That is amazingly clever. I want that system. I want to play with it. Thanks for sharing.
I also have this book, I loved your beautifuly clear instructions.
Laura,🌞
You are such a perfect presenter for something fascinating... 🤭
This is going to be FUN!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
♥️👗♥️
This is Great!! I have never heard of this system. I can't wait to give it a try🤗
Oh. My. Gawd. 😮 This looks ahhhh-mazing!!! Such tiny little pattern pieces become custom full size ones! My mind is blown 🤯
Thank you, Laura! I watch all your videos. Based on your thorough explanation of The Golden Rule program, I ordered the set today. I can’t wait to get started! Thank you again!!
Thank you this is just what i've been looking for, to make my own clothes.
Finally! A sewist who isn’t of average height! I’m 5 feet tall and love to see how shorter people manage to work with patterns that are made for average-height people. This system has been on my wish list for awhile!
Wowee what an amazing system! As always your instruction is so clear.
Im so glad I came across this video. Thank you.
I'd been on the fence about this pattern 'drafting' set and have watched multiple videos about it, including those from the company.
But, it wasn't until I saw this viedio that I decided to buy it, and am looking forward to when its delivered.
Amazon was out, so I ordered from the company and with their coupon saved over $35 which more than covered shipping charges from FL.
Thank you for clearly taking the mystery out of this for me.
You are the BEST!
You have a very nice speaking voice. It is clear and gentle. You are the first I have been able to sit through to the end, and I did it with enjoyment! I have subscribed, and will now binge watch all your videos.
Wow. So interesting. Such a good teacher.
Excellent. Wow I had no idea anything like this was available. Thank you for sharing.
I’m enthralled with this!!!! I’m going to get this and sew these patterns. Goodbye store bought patterns. Thanks a million for this.
I used this system all of the time about 30 years ago but have not seen for a long time. thanks for the refresher course!
Gorgeous outfit you have on that you designed!
OMG! What an amazing idea and system. Can't believe it was developed in 1935.
I enjoyed watching you use the system. I think I had this system about 40 years ago. Life happened and I have no idea where it ended up before getting to use it very much. I might have to consider it again.
Really fascinating system. I am not yet what I would call a "confident sewer and up", but found this intriguing. You know your stuff and you also know what looks good on you.
Thanks to you and your easy to understand tutorial on this system, I utilized your link to purchase my own golden rule binder patterns and accessories. I am a beginner learning as I go and am so looking forward to learning and sewing.
I'd seen the system before, but put off buying it. Thanks for the reminder (and the link)!
Thank you for reminding me of my youth in the 80s in Europe! I used to have Luterloh system and loved it! It is fun to make garments and I always had the best and newest mode. I am going to make sure I order it again! I wish someone would explain how we can learn to make these numbers on our sketches and use that measure tape 😊 but I am sure this is the science I am not familiar with. Thanks again!💎❤
I enjoy your videos. Your voice is calm and very pleasant to listen to. I like that you don't have distracting music or unnecessary chit-chat. I would love a video or even just a list on the order of operations in sewing--it seems like this is what's missing from the Luttorloh system. Thank you, Laura!
Agree!!
Wow Laura, This is great. I’ve never heard of this. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏 Chris-Raleigh NC
Laura, I have never seen anything like this, and just like you I always had to alter my cloths I make because I could never get cloths that fit me properly. And thank you so much showing how easy that is to draft your own pater from a small pattern, it’s just amazing. Never though this exist, and would not have known how to make it bigger. Thank you so much you have opened a new door for me concerning making cloths. Now I just have to get that pattern book 📖, will defiantly get one for me , excellent idea. Saves space also . Compact and I am in or with this idea. 🌹❤️🌹❤️
You are very articlate concise and makes and explainn all your videos in a structured clear method. You are The Best and a University Academic Professor.
This video is a dream come true for me a seamstress!! Your the best sewing teacher ever!!!!! I love your style!!! From the deepest part of my heart, I want to thank you for all that you share and do for us!!!!
This is absolutely fascinating! Love your channel Laura!!
This is brilliant! I had no idea such a thing existed! My sewing skills are very basic but I still want to try this.
This video was fascinating! I used to make most of my clothes when I was in high school, using purchased patterns. I usually had to do some type of adjustment, which wasn't always easy. I have always enjoyed garment sewing, but now my focus is quilting. I do sew some garments for my granddaughter and have made most of her Halloween costumes. Thank you for showing so many different sewing techniques in your videos. I always enjoy watching them!
As a subscriber and long time devoted viewer of your RUclips channel, I want to thank you for the Golden Rule Made-to measure sewing pattern sets. I just ordered the Classic Set and I look forward to creating my own custom patterns.
I love these videos with The Golden Rule. Please keep making them. I just ordered the system and can’t wait to get it!
This is sheer genius. I've been wanting to get back into sewing clothes but have been put off by having to alter the patterns. I've already ordered this and can't wait to get started. Thanks for the great video - and your outfits look great!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I need this book and start sewing a dress for myself.
Amazing Video and You are an Excellent Educator!!!!!! You made me understand better how this system works by using an effective illustration methodology and comments on the side, God bless you!!!!!
Oh my word, I’m so glad I watched you today. I used your link and ordered it immediately. Finally a way to actually FIT myself. I want to fit pants and blouses, but when I have these narrow shoulders and huge boobs, smaller hips, I can’t seem to fit anything. Bless you. I’m praying this works for me.
Thank you for the inspiring video. Love th egarments you have made. I ordered the system a number of weeks ago and am currently learning to use it.
I just LOVE that you have included garment sewing, as I don't quilt at all. I always have trouble with fitting as I am short (5'2") but always need to do an FBA. Do you think this method will accommodate a larger bust without much adjustment. I have tried pattern drafting with very little success.
I went to their website and they fit very small to very large bodies.
Love this! Have always wanted to make my own clothes, but I am terrible at it. Might give it a try if I don't have to use those tissue paper store bought patterns.
Tissue patterns much easier than having to download, print, cut and tape pieces of paper together, and use. then use it just like the tissue. Too much to do there. But this system might be OK and fun to try. Wonder how expensive it is.
Wow! I had no idea. I wish I would have known that years ago.
Thank you Laura. I love this.
Fantastic video thank you for sharing xxxx
WOW 🤩 I wished I knew about this sooner!!
You are right, this is fascinating. I ended up getting the starter set for myself, and I'm very excited about getting some garments made that will actually fit me. I really appreciate you showing this. I had not heard of this system before, but I'm convinced this will be easier than using traditional commercial patterns.
This is a wonderful learning video....thank you!
Just an awesome concept, and your explanation is amazing. Thank you.
Wow! You explained it so well. And I feel interested to try but I am pretty much a beginner. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This was so much fun to watch while I ate breakfast this morning! Thank you!
Thankyou what a fabulous tutorial I’ve never drafted a pattern before but you made it look achievable ❤️
I never heard of this. I am learning how to draft and design my own styles. This would be great for me.
This is a fascinating concept. Thanks!
That’s an amazing pattern system.Thanks Laura. 🇦🇺
Wonderful! Thank you for the info.. Easy instructions as always.
Iv looked at this before you made it look so easy , I think I’ll be going ahead with this purchase ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Laura, you've done it again! I've had this system now for about six years. The first dress I tried, just didn't work out so the system is now just gathering dust and the dress/fabric in a bag in a drawer somewhere! Expensive dust. The shopping channel I bought it from, didn't really make it clear that you do need some garment construction experience as there are no sewing instructions. I probably went wrong on the measuring. I was hoping for a perfect finish straight out of the box and just ended up being disappointed. I should really give it another go, I tried pattern 236 from the original bundle. I was going to make a new work wardrobe - yeah.
Laura, you are just gorgeous! I love the clothing and think you look stunning in your creations! I love the idea of making your own patterns!
Thanks 😊
@@SewVeryEasy You're welcome! xo
Oh my! I am also you height. You are right, if I have to redraft, starting with "The Golden Rule" makes a ton of sense. The clothes you made really do look like they fit so much better! Thank you!
Fabulous Video!!!! 😘😘😘
This was such a great video! It makes me excited to get back to making myself my own patterns for clothing. I have not heard of this sewing system. I will be looking into this. You are such an awesome instructor. Thank you.❤️
Hi Laura, I have the Golden Rule that I bought years ago. I am so glad you did this video because I would love to have more up to date patterns but lose the web site. Thank you. I know I have to redo all my measurements b/c I am now older and heaver. Plus I lost 3 1/2 inches in menopause. LOL Thanks again
Just received mine today can’t wait to get started
Absolutely fascinating!! Thanks.
Wow. This is very clever, is t it?! I’ll look into it.
wow that is interesting thanks for the great video.. I love your videos
Wow Laura: thank you so much!!! This is absolutely wonderful. It’s been years since I’ve seen clothes, but have been thinking a lot about doing it again; This could really be helpful ❤️😀
