Is the next pants fitting lesson going to be posted soon? Please, please, please!!  One of my New Year's goals is to create "Perfect Pants." For me, this means pants that fit, pant construction techniques that I'm proud of, and confident that I can create lovely pants for work or play. I have PMB, but have never been satisfied with the results. I know the problem isn't in the software, but my own lack of knowledge on how to get the pants to fit right--I don't know where to tweak the program because I don't understand how to make a good fitting pant. I have my Burda pattern (No. 8039). It is traced on Swedish Tracing Paper. My measurements are taken. I set up a notebook for my notes and records. I have a box full of nice, but inexpensive fabric to make test pants with. Next, I need to transfer the adjustment lines on the pattern, but then I need the next lesson! --K2Karen |

Yes, we are working on it right now! 12 diagrams so it is labor intensive. Many thanks to www.timmelfabrics for this huge learning curve.

I remember there was a discussion about what classes we would be interested in taking online, but I didn't read any announcement about a class being launched. I looked at Timmel Fabrics, but I don't see a pant sewing lesson included on the Home Page links. I must be out of it! I'd like to know when online courses are being offered. Is there an e-mail list or do I just keep checking the "Garment Construction". I usually do, but I must have missed this announcement. I'd appreciate finding out about accessing this and future lessons. Many thanks, Amy |

Patsy: Thank you very much for your reply. If you can believe this, I never knew there was a home page (realized you were directing me to Sew What's New not Timmel Fabrics' pages) other than this actual forum! Not sure how I originally found this forum, but I must have bypassed the home page containing all the extra info en route. I also didn't realize there was a Yahoo group, so I just signed up for the Newsletter, etc.  Amy |
