Detailed Body Measurements

Detailed Body Measurements are key to a successful sewing project because they're integral to pattern alteration and ultimately to creating a muslim that fits.  I personally would never cut into my $25.00/yard fabric until I'm 100% satisfied with the fit of my muslim in a comparable fabric.  How many times have you stashed away your expensive fabric purchase in fear of cutting into it because you're not confident that you can alter a pattern correctly.   Put the fear behind you and get to work on your body map so the next project will be successful and rewarding.  Great fit can make up for small flaws in sewing.  No one will ever notice a topstitch that's not perfect, but they notice an ill fitting garment.
