You've been sewing for years.
Your Garments Still Don't Fit.
The problem isn't a lack of fitting techniques.
It's that you don't have a structured method of
assessing garment fit.
You're an Experienced Sewer
But achieving the fit you want is a constant struggle.
You feel stuck.
Second-guessing every adjustment.
Wasting hours on samples that never quite work.
Wondering if it’s the pattern, or just you.
You’re frustrated and on the verge of giving up.
Imagine if you could..
Clearly see how your body is different than
the body the pattern was designed for.
Make preliminary fitting decisions
just by referring to the size chart.
Strategically place the balance lines
on any pattern you own.
Assess and address garment fit issues
without going in circles.
The Fitting Grid Framework Makes it Possible.
Get the Fitting Grid Framework
Three steps from where you are now to assessing fit with confidence.
Step 1: Define
Understand what the fitting grid is and how it's used to assess garment fit. Learn the principle of balance that makes it work. Discover the four ways the fitting grid is used to find and address fitting issues at their source.
Step 2: Apply
Apply the fitting grid to your body and a pattern. Capture and map your personal fitting landscape. Interpret the pattern's size chart. Locate the fitting grid on any flat pattern. Make strategic preliminary fitting decisions.
Step 3: Assess
Follow a guided demonstration of the fitting grid assessment on a real sample. See what good garment balance looks like. Learn the area fitting sequence that ensures you're always addressing fitting issues at the source.
Let me show you the most effective method of assessing your most complex fitting issues.
MODULE 1
THE FITTING GRID DEFINED
Develop a foundational understanding of what the fitting grid is and the principle of balance that makes it work.
Discover the four ways the fitting grid is used to assess and address fitting issues and understand why this ability is the foundation for every fitting decision you'll ever make.
What it is and why it's the foundation of every fitting decision.
MODULE 2
THE FITTING GRID ON THE BODY
Capture your personal fitting landscape and map your vertical and horizontal balance lines.
Explore your body's proportion, shape, and symmetry in relation to the standard figure most patterns are designed for and gain insight into your past fitting issues.
Your fitting landscape offers insight that no tape measure ever could.
MODULE 3
THE FITTING GRID ON THE PATTERN
Interpret a pattern's size chart as a portrait of the body it was designed for.
Locate the fitting grid on a flat pattern.
Make preliminary fitting decisions by recognizing exactly where the pattern's fitting grid and your personal fitting grid diverge before you sew.
The size chart most just glance at contains valuable information.
MODULE 4
THE FITTING GRID ON THE GARMENT
See the fitting grid at work on a real garment.
Learn the area fitting sequence that ensures fitting issues are always identified at their source.
Follow a guided demonstration as each area of the garment is assessed and brought into balance and see what a balanced fitting grid looks like when the work is done.
Watch as I demonstrate how to fit using the fitting grid.
The Fitting Grid Framework Gives You
a Structured Way to Assess Fitting Issues
Most fitting resources teach you what to fix relative to a figure anomaly. A technique for a rounded back, an adjustment for a prominent bust, or a fix for a large bicep.
While these are all valid pattern adjustment techniques, they fail to give you a structured way to evaluate the pattern or interpret fitting issues on the garment before prescribing a fix.
The Fitting Grid Framework is a professional method for assessing garment fit, using the garment's balance lines to reveal where a fitting issue originates rather than which figure flaw to address.
I'm Alexandra
I know firsthand how frustrating fitting can be.
Even with a degree in fashion design and years of fashion industry experience, I struggled to fit myself. No amount of fitting books, tutorials, or figure-flaw fitting classes gave me the results I was looking for.
So I came up with a new way of fitting.
I developed a method to bring structure and logic to the fitting process. The goal was a repeatable system that makes it possible to assess fit strategically, on any body, for any pattern.
The Fitting Grid Framework is the foundation of that system. It is designed for experienced sewists who are tired of struggling and want to fit with confidence.
