Pattern fitting guides

Coming soon – guidebooks and courses for:

• clothes making;
• fitting and altering sewing patterns;
• fitting and altering knitting and crochet patterns.

Projects in progress are listed below, and I plan to have these available later in 2024.

In the meantime, you might find the following resources helpful:

• The stitches and notches category on my blog – this is dedicated to sewing and pattern cutting;
• Tips and resources for clothes makers – this is for people new to clothes making and includes articles for knitters and sewists;
• One-to-one tuition – if you need a really deep dive into a project or want to learn a particular skill related to pattern fitting.

Are you more of a designer?

If you’re leaning towards designing your own knitting or crochet patterns, I have something for you too!

• You can find out more about my upcoming design course and join the waitlist here;
• There’s also the Knitwear Design 101 category on my blog;
• …and my Design Portfolio, which includes case studies of the design process for several of my knitting patterns.

Stay in touch

I’d also be happy to see you over on Instagram – I’m @natalieinstitches over there, and I post on the grid and in stories pretty regularly.

If email is more your thing, or you’re not a fan of social media, you can sign up for Pattern Spotlights.  This is a fortnightly offering of clothes making tips, highlights from my back catalogue, and notice of new learning resources.  This includes new courses and guides for pattern fitting and alterations 🙂

If you don’t want to lurk or keep checking this page for updates (no judgement here, I’ve been there too!), you can sign up for Pattern Spotlights here.
