I Don’t Do Patternmaking the ‘Right Way’… and That’s the Point Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-09-18 | 🚨 Here’s your permission slip: there are NO rules in patternmaking… and there’s definitely no cheating. 🚨So many sewists ask me:👉 “Is this the right way to draft a pattern?”👉 “What’s the standard measurement supposed to be?”👉 “Am I doing it wrong if I don’t start with a sloper?”Here’s the truth: sewing patterns and ready-to-wear clothing are drafted for “standard” bodies that don’t exist. Real people aren’t standard. Your proportions, curves, and creativity are unique, which means you get to decide what works.In this video, I’ll show you why:✨ There’s no one “right” way to make patterns✨ Why using draping, duct tape, or even tweaking existing patterns is STILL patternmaking✨ How the “pattern police” myth keeps people stuck and intimidated✨ And why bodies, comfort, and creativity don’t follow rulesAs long as your garment fits the way YOU want and looks the way YOU love, you’re doing it right. 💃💚 Want to go deeper? Join me for my FREE Fitabulous Fit Bootcamp happening Sept 15–19!In just 5 days, I’ll teach you my step-by-step fitting process so you can finally feel confident fitting ANY garment to ANY body.

Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-09-13 | Join us for the bootcamp! bit.ly/fitabulousfit For a limited time we are bringing back my very popular Fitabulous Fit Bootcamp! This is a FREE 5 day virtual bootcamp where I teach my fitting process that can be applied to ANY body and used with ANY garment or pattern. I know that fitting is the thing that most people struggle with when getting into sewing and learning to make patterns, so in this bootcamp I offer a system I have used to over 20 years in my career making costumes for big theatrical productions. We go over what tools will help you the most and the order of how to go into a fitting, what you are looking for, and how to make changes back to your pattern or garment to make sure the adjustment comes out right! Bootcamp kicks off this Sunday Sept. 14th with a welcome party. Then the trainings and live Q&A sessions run from Sept 15th-19th.

And ALLLLLL the ways you can use them! Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-09-11 | For Fitting clothes safety pins are an absolute MUST for me! I am talking about the benefits they bring to the fitting process all the time, but that is not the only way I find safety pins helpful. I use them in lots of different ways and I will always have at least a few hanging around, because they are so darn helpful!! I dive into where this invention came from and how long we have been using this tool (Which I found super interesting!!) and the different ways that safety pins have helped me in my life. I would love to hear how they have helped YOU! Do you use them in a different way than I have mentioned? I think it is high time that we put a spotlight on these little tools and gave them some recognition to just how awesome they are! If you really want to learn how I use them in fitting your favorite clothes and about my intuitive fitting process, I hope you will join us for our bi-annual Fitabous Fit Bootcamp happening Sept 15th-19th!

Especially if you are fitting yourself......Do this! Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-08-28 | Taking pictures at the end of your fitting is one of the most helpful things you can do for yourself weather you are fitting someone else or yourself, but especially if you are fitting yourself!! The biggest hurdle with fitting is transferring the adjustments we find we need to make while fitting clothes, into either the actual sewing adjustments that need to be made or make these changes to your sewing pattern. If you have a picture to refer back to, it can help you remember the fitting a bit better and even offer insight for things you may not have noticed in the moment.When you are fitting yourself, it is hard to get an accurate idea of what is happening in the fitting of you garment when you have to twist or contort to see yourself clearly making it near impossible to know what is really going on. THIS is why this step is not only helpful, it can be downright hurtful to the success of you fit if you don't take photos! Not everyone knows how to set the timer on their phone to make self taking fitting pics a bit easier by yourself, so I share a tutorial on how to set your timer and take pics of yourself so you can be more successful with your next fitting!!Follow for more!instagram.com/creative.costume.academyFacebook: https://Facebook.com/tricky.patternsWant more?Free Pattern Masterclass creativecostumeacademy.com/freepatternmasterclassSign up for the Pattern News list and get the monthly freebie!tricia-camacho.mykajabi.com/ccapatternnewsGet full sloper sets, tools, and pattern paper:creativecostumeacademy.com/shopTo know more about all the things CCA has to offer visit my website!https://www.Creativecostumeacademy.com

Sewing Confessions: Projects That Drove Us CRAZY Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-08-22 | We’ve all been there… you start a sewing project with big dreams, only to realize it’s way harder than you thought, or you just plain don’t enjoy it. @charlotta_patterncuttingschool and I are sharing the sewing projects we strongly dislike (yes, even hate!) and why. From frustrating techniques to garments that just didn’t turn out the way we planned, we’re keeping it real, and having some laughs along the way.👉 Join us live in the chat and tell us:What’s the project you’ll never make again?Which sewing challenge nearly broke you?Or… what project surprised you by being way harder than it looked?This is all about honesty, community, and finding encouragement when projects don’t go as planned.

Try this instead! Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-08-14 | EVERYONE'S weight fluctuates. Some of us several pounds in the same week, or day. Don't let this keep you from making clothes! There are a couple different solutions for this. One being using a material with some stretch or making adjustable clothes like wrap around options, but I do this with just about every garment that I sew! I learned this from working with costumes and still apply it to clothes I make for myself. This is actually a method that they use for couture houses as well (only slightly different construction order, I'm sure) but by adding in extra seam allowance and giving some extra thought about your sewing order, you can make sure you time is well spent and these garments will be around for a long time - even with fluctuating weight! Hope it helps give you the confidence to keep sewing those things that you love!Follow for more!instagram.com/creative.costume.academyFacebook: https://Facebook.com/tricky.patternsWant more?Free Pattern Masterclass creativecostumeacademy.com/freepatternmasterclassSign up for the Pattern News list and get the monthly freebie!tricia-camacho.mykajabi.com/ccapatternnewsGet full sloper sets, tools, and pattern paper:creativecostumeacademy.com/shopTo know more about all the things CCA has to offer visit my website!https://www.Creativecostumeacademy.com

Most of the time dealing with zippers can be a pain in the booty, but shortening is actually quite simple and something I do almost every time. I just takes some tools and a little bit of time.

Add a dart to a garment that doesn’t have one! #patternmaking #sewingtips #sewing #fitting Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-07-03 | ...
Add a bust dart to a garment that doesnt have a dart! Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-07-03 | It's the worst feeling is when you just feel like your chest is being smashed! This could be the need of doing a full bust adjustment and making that dart bigger that already exists. But what if you don't have a dart in the garment to begin with?? It is essentially the same steps as an FBA, but with some instruction on how and where to place it since you don't already have a dart to go off of. There will be a follow up with how successful this dart was for my friend, but this is how to add that much needed dart so we make room for the boobies instead of smashing them!

The slickest way to help fitting yourself! Tricias Creative Costume Academy 2025-06-12 | I am usually promoting that you use safety pins to close your mock ups, but an even sexier method is to add a zipper to your mock up! That way it is super easy to get in and out (like you need to do sometimes when you are fitting yourself!) I want to point out some important things to to pay attention to when you are installing a zipper in a mock up opposed to an actual garment, for fitting purposes. This was a request, so I hope you find it helpful in your sewing and fitting journey!If this is your jam and you like to learn all thing Pattern making and Fitting, I highly encourage you to check out PatternCon!!
