Most of us love to wear pants. Most of us who sew would love to be able to make pants
that fit and flatter. Too many of us spend so much time trying to achieve great fit that we rarely
complete pants that we are proud to wear. Included with this book is a method for fitting yourself and tried
and true techniques for designing and constructing quality pants.
Once you have a basic pattern that fits properly, you will have the freedom to create your own designs
and you will spend your time sewing rather than fitting pattern after pattern after pattern. You will
look and feel great in every pair of pants you make!
The downloadable software that accompanies this book includes Wild Ginger’s ePatterns software that drafts a free
fitting pants pattern and numerous articles on fit. In addition, Wild Ginger Software also offers totally
free measuring and fit support. We will be happy to assist you in achieving great fit!
