Sigourney Sewalong | Closet Core Patterns

The Terrazzo Dress Sewalong | Closet Core Patterns

$Fitting Q&A with Gabby Brown: Plus-Size sewing, Fit Confidence, and What We Wish Every Sewist Knew In this episode, Heather sits down with Gabby Brown — technical designer, longtime fit educator, and host of our Fitting Room sessions for Crew Unlimited members — to talk about her new book, Plus-Size Patternmaking for Womenswear: Inclusive Sizing, Pattern Drafting, and Fitting, co-written with Leila Kelleher (Assistant Professor of Fashion Design and Social Justice at Parsons, and co-founder of the pattern brand Moona and Broad). Gabby and Heather dig into why so much of whats in this book has never been written down before — from ditching the French curve in favour of hand-drawn shapes that actually work on plus-size bodies, to a full chapter dedicated to running a respectful, comfortable fit session. They talk about drafting for mobility and gender-neutral fit, the (extremely relatable) mystery of why gusset sizing never seems to fit anyone, and the industry economics that keep plus-size offerings stuck at a fraction of straight-size options. Gabby also shares the three-year journey of writing the book with Leila — almost entirely over Zoom — and what it was like handing off a project meant to give the next generation of pattern makers the tools nobody taught them in school. 📖 Get Gabbys book, Plus-Size Patternmaking for Womenswear: https://amzn.to/4xU9zVj ✂️ Want personalized fitting help?
