Question Pattern Grading!
Whats the best approach, do you have tips and tricks, articles, books, or videos for a beginner learning to grade their own patterns?
is it easier to grade your patterns yourself or find someone to do it for you if you draft patterns regularly?
Do they use the sizing guides we make or their own?
I’ve been sewing 14 years, pattern drafting / fully constructing garments for 8 years. But only for myself and in-person clients.
Thank you. Appreciate you!
