OUR BEST-SELLING
SEWING INSTRUCTOR

Kenneth D. King teaches you everything you need to know about fitting skirts and trousers.

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 skirts and trousers 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

● 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.)

This workshop also includes a bonus chapter with an entertaining and illuminating one-on-one conversation with Kenneth D. King.
