I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio.

Hi everyone, welcome back to Seamwork Radio this week.

Today we're going to talk about how to start your fitting journey.

So we're going to cover why fitting can feel so overwhelming and we're going to give you some easy steps, some easy process for jumping into fitting if you're new to fitting.

I'm really excited to talk about this because I think this is something that a lot of people, well, some people struggle with.

And a lot of people are just really, really interested in, especially when they're new to sewing.

So this is going to be

fun to talk about, I think. I think. It will be. I think. I think and I hope. So I'm going to

start us off with our icebreaker for makers today. And my question is for you, Sari, what is the worst fitting garment

that you've ever made? All right. I'm going to, I've already talked about the worst

fitting garment I've ever made on the show, which to briefly recap, that was the time I made a

bias cut dress when I was first learning to sew and decided to save fabric

and not cut it on the bias. And it was just like a tube that I was squeezed into. It was awful.

That was probably the worst fitting garment that I've ever made. But I've talked about that.

I have another story about bad fit, which is when one of my dear friends got married,

she had another friend of ours who was a designer make most of the bridesmaids' dresses.

And I was a bridesmaid.

But because I could sew, he made a pattern for me so that I can make my own dress and

sent me the fabric and the pattern. And I did not know exactly, this was like a, you know,

it was a, I'll say homemade, but it was a pattern made by him. It didn't have all the,

all the instructions or, you know,

all the things that would come with like a home sewing pattern.
