If your handmade clothes almost fit—this might be why:

Most sewing patterns are designed for standardized sizes.
But real people have real proportions. Your bust might land in one size, your waist in another, and your hips somewhere else entirely.

And that’s exactly why you need to know about:

🧵 Blending Patterns — The Sewing Skill No One Taught You (Until Now)

Blending patterns is the process of combining two or more sizes from a multi-sized pattern to create a custom fit before you ever cut your fabric.

It’s not hacking. It’s not adjusting after the fact.
It’s intentional. Strategic. And it’s one of the most powerful steps you can take to make garments that actually fit your shape.

✅ No pulling
✅ No bagginess
✅ No more guessing
✅ Just a better fit, every time

And no—this technique isn’t in our regular pattern database.
It’s taught exclusively inside Design Secrets.
