The Sew-To-Fit Designing Block: An Introduction
A guided start to choosing your size and understanding the Sew-To-Fit Designing Block.
Course Summary
Course Overview: Sew To Fit Designing Block
This class gives you a strong starting point to learn how your body and your pattern work together. You’ll be guided through every step to help you choose the right size, measure correctly, and prepare your pattern for a muslin. This class gives you the structure you need to move forward as a prelude to learning how to use the your block as a base in the next course for fitting commercial patterns.
Understand how to choose your size
Learn how to use your own body measurements—especially the upper bust, waist, and bicep—to find the best size on the pattern.
Sew and mark your muslin for fitting
Follow clear steps to sew your muslin and mark important lines like the waist and bust points, so you can begin evaluating fit.
Work with the five-piece dress block.
The included pattern gives you a basic bodice, skirt, and sleeve block to begin building your test garment, step by step.
Trace, measure, and prep with guidance
I’ll walk you through how to trace your block, confirm the measurements, and prepare your muslin -- all before you make your first cut of the muslin fabric.

I’m first_name, your Fit Coach here at Sew To Fit.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ll guide you through the process so you can finally get the fit you need.
I teach fitting using a block-based pattern system that walks you through each step—no fluff, no guessing, and no starting over every time. My method is built on understanding real bodies, not just pattern charts.
I work with women of all sizes who are tired of feeling frustrated and want to sew with confidence. My teaching style is clear, structured, and personal—with plenty of encouragement along the way.
I look forward to working with your!
