This is a tutorial on how I edit my sewing patterns to fit better.

I break it down into 3 manageable steps to follow. First, i identify the problems. See and feel what's wrong. Second, trial and error. I try making adjustments. Even if they don't work, that's okay, I'm learning. Finally, once I'm on the right path, it's about tweaking and dialling it in.

I use one of my older shirt projects as an example of how to go about customizing it to fit just as I want it to. My aim is to demonstrate that although it's time consuming, it is approachable.

You got this!
