SEWING INSTRUCTOR

Kenneth D. King teaches you everything you need to know about fitting the upper body.

Discover how to determine fit and adjust your pattern by making a muslin -- a test garment you’ll rely on over and over again.

Learn Kenneth’s breakthrough method of net gain, net loss, and no net change.

Learn how to:

● Recognize and evaluate a good fit in a muslin

● Easily make adjustments

● Transfer these adjustments to your pattern

See Kenneth use this method to fit a jacket on three women with different body types.

Kenneth will teach you quick and effective solutions for almost any fitting challenge, including how to:

● Properly change the length of a garment

● Remove fabric or add fabric

● Compensate for pattern changes

● Fit and adjust sleeves

● Change the shape of a garment

Anyone who sews will benefit from Kenneth’s logical and straightforward technique.

(Note: Smart Fitting I and Smart Fitting II include the same introductory Chapter about how to use a muslin.)
