After teaching pattern fitting using the Palmer/Pletsch tissue fitting method for a number of years, Pamela realized that the majority of her customers had to do adjustments to commercially produced patterns. The slender frame and small bust that patterns were designed for didn't fit the "real" women that were taking her classes. While teaching a t-shirt class with one of these patterns - which required one class just to do the pattern fitting - she thought that perhaps she could speed up the process by making a pattern for her customers that already had the most common adjustments built in. After creating the pattern, she wrote out a set of basic instructions, took a photo with her little camera, and sold about 400 patterns in the sewing store she taught at. She was thrilled and designed a few more patterns for her customers. We are proud to carry a line of Pamela's Patterns and call her one of our sewing friends!
