Fast Fit: Easy Pattern Alterations for Every Figure 
Customer Ratings: - Fast Fit - Easy Pattern Alterations. Delighted with this book. I found the detailed explanations of how to alter patterns easy to follow and have successfully altered commercial patterns using Sandra s methods. Wouldn t hesitate to recommend this to anyone having difficulty making commercial patterns fit.
- Fast Fit. I bought this book as I always have to adjust commercial patterns. This book is excellent if you are new to sewing or would like to increase your knowledge of adjusting certain problem areas. It shows you how to take accurate body measurements. As my teacher says measure twice, cut once!. It also tells you what the ease allowance should be on certain garments. I found this book extremely useful. If I could create patterns from scratch I guess this book would not be as useful but if you are like me and you are new or learning about sewing then it s worth buying.
- poor detail. I m a professional corsetiere and pattern maker and needed tips on fitting trousers (baggy smile lines at the front) and a really difficult shoulder rotation client problem. I got this and copies of Pants for Real People: Fit and Sew for Any Body by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto and Fit for Real People: Sew Great Clothes Using ANY Pattern (Sewing for Real People) by Pati Palmer, Marta Alto, and Jeannette Schilling. The two other books have solved the problem first time, with brilliant photos and spotted the problem, first time bang on. However, Fast Fit offered incorrect fitting advice (slash and spread the front crotch seam, instead of the correct add height to the front middle crotch seam), with not enough detail and only the most basic of fitting problems covered by line drawings. As a result I have returned my copy and I would urge you to invest the the two books from Palmer Pletch that I have mentioned above. They are so good I ve since bought their Couture Sewing, and Bridal Couture books, both of which are brilliant. In short do not buy this book, Pants/Fit for Real People will be of much more use.
- Excellent book!. This book is fantastic to help solve all your fitting problems if you are not the perfect text book proportions. I discovered so many new things about why my clothes do not fit properly as she explains every type of problem and what it does to the look of the fit ie. uneven shoulders, narrow shoulders,twisted sleeves, flat seat, large bust, flat bust etc.etc. and she then tells you exactly how to alter a bought pattern for a perfect fit. Absolutely brilliant, a must-have for any dressmaker.
- Superb. I can t imagine any figure types that have been left out! Well illustrated, with clear concise instructions. Takes virtually no brain power to follow the instructions - which is just the way I like it!!
