Do you have trouble getting patterns to fit you? Do you have patterns that are too small or too big? Pattern hacking is just another way to talk about manipulating pattern to either help fit your body (such as making bigger or smaller) or to make design changes (like adding pleats). Learn how to use slash and spread and slash and pivot to alter patterns - sewing or foam - to your body and for design. Want those mini pattern blocks I use in the video?

I love to upcycle. This means I do use polyester fabric. I had some poly bridal satin i wanted to rescue from the garbage. It came from a smoking house and the smell was not coming out.

Marking fabric is always a bit of a hangup for me. I tend to make projects over several weeks so selecting a marking method that will last for a long time, be easily removable, and not leave anything behind is important to me I love couture sewing and tailoring. Both of these "schools of sewing" use thread as a the primary marking method. I adapted a method that involves first using a tested fabric marking pen or chalk and then going back over with thread. For pattern markings that show up as dots, triangles, squares, etc. I tend to use the tailor's tack. The tailor's tack can be done with any kind of thread - although fine silk thread leaves no trace, even when ironed. The tacks are easily removed and stay put through ironing and fittings. To make a tailor's tack, place a small stitch in your marking point. Pull through leaving a tail and go back around on the stitch you just made. Cut leaving a tail and soldier on! ************************************************************************* Subscribe for more free sewing tips and tutorials: https://goo.gl/ou9fYM If you make anything with my tutorials and want to share, please use the hashtag #cosplaysewingschool in the comments or in your uploads anywhere on the web.
