Oh how I wish I would’ve known about her sewing show on PBS back when I was learning to sew! I’ve heard so many excellent reviews of those old shows… Thanks for the tip. I’m going to look them up on KZread!

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m looking for a bock to start perfecting my sewing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thank you for leafing thru each one! That really helps me decide if it's the type of book I'm looking for ☺️

Thank you for the Perfect Fitting Book because am a visual learner

Thank you! I want to get some books but didn’t know where to start… I liked how you opened each book and shared several topics that are covered. So helpful!!

Thank you for this. When I started sewing I didn't know where to turn. I knew fitting was the most important skill I needed to learn when sewing my own clothes.

I’m glad you found this helpful! I agree, I knew nothing about fitting, and once I discovered I could adjust a pattern to fit me, game changer!

I love the language that you were using in the video. Many of the old fitting books talk about body problem areas and are not body neutral. Hopefully the language of fitting is changing.

Thanks Janet! I’m glad you noticed - I wanted to remind all of us that it’s not our bodies, it’s the pattern that needs tweaking 🥰

Thank you Sharon this is exactly the video and information I needed. Looking forward to finding some of those books in my local library before I spend money on them. Thanks again

You’re welcome! Going to the library is an excellent idea! You can determine if you like the book enough to invest money and add it to your personal library.

Thank you for this very useful video. Fitting is my 2022 sewing goal and reviewing these books really helps to wade through the many options available.

Your welcome Jane! Good luck on your sewing goal - learning to fit patterns to my body made sewing even more enjoyable!

Love the tshirt you are wearing, gorgeous puff long sleeve and mitred square neckline, I love something with a bit of difference. I’ll try to reinvent it with mixing and matching the patterns I already have.

You’re welcome Theresa! I’m glad you found it helpful.

I’ve got a few of the X for real people books and they’re really good, the tissue fitting method isn’t necessarily convenient for me because I have a lot of PDF patterns I’ve printed at home and I want to keep my purchased patterns as intact as possible but tracing them off is an option. I also have the photo guide one and several others and take them to bed to read 😂 Great book choices that’ll be useful resources for a lot of people struggling with fit issues, I think the best things to learn are how our bodies differ from the ‘standard’ so we know what to look out for, thanks Sharon!

Hi Rhondda, I agree about the tissue fitting method! Back when the book was first released we didn't have PDF patterns 😀 I trace almost all of my PDF patterns, mainly because I'm usually altering them to fit me! I've taken sewing books to bed with me to read too 😂

Great video, Sharon! Thank you!

Hi Sharon, I met you today on the Facebook live video about Enhancing your personal style. I loved it and found you here this evening. I have three of the books you reviewed and many many more. I am sure someday I will get the almost perfect fit I desire. I am looking forward to watching your videos and learning all I can. Hugs

Julie! Welcome 🥰 I’m glad you found me here! And I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed Enhancing your personal style. Jeanne and I had a great time planning this and your feedback warms my heart. You have great fitting books also! I think everyone of them can teach you some thing.. Fitting… That’s a lifelong learning curve, isn’t it?

@@SharonSews I ordered Kenneth King's book today. One can never have to many helpful books.

Thank you for this! I have most of these books…except for the Palmer/Pletsch book…and I just reserved it at the library! It’s so useful to have more than one resource for fitting in order to cover all of your bases. Just found your channel; looking forward to snooping!

Kenneth King, he is so fabulous. Yes, his book is so helpful. I think we can really elevate our sewing when we learn to fit our bodies even better.

Thank you for sharing this. I definitely need to add some fitting books to my library and this was very helpful in knowing which ones to buy.
