Sure Fit Academy by Sure-Fit Designs

I really enjoyed this course. I find the pace to be balanced, not too fast and not too slow. I especially enjoyed making the flounce pattern and the button technique. Now I feel confident to sew my little ? dress, whatever color it maybe. Attaching the lining portion was so simply explained and the shoulder seams, which can be tricky in a fully lined dress, were explained in such a way that novice can do it.

Glenda is very detailed in her explanations and has wonderful video photos to be able to see what she is doing. Many prefer the lining to match the dress, but at times it was difficult to see the details. I found it good to watch the video chapter then go back and follow as she went. Even though I've been sewing since a young girl, Glenda had a few tricks she shared which I will use again. I will be making this dress again with different design details ( a jewel neckline and a pencil skirt shape are not correct for my body shape. ) I didn't taper the skirt and I like the look of my LBD. I can take the construction techniques and apply to any LBD. This is the first LBD that was so easy to sew, lined, and had a fit that was to my body measurements. PS There was a little print dress in the background, that was done it looked like without the darts. A cotton fabric? How did you do the waist gathers? I don't remember any reference to it. I thought I would like to do this dress in a Batik cotton with a cotton lining.

Lessons are very detailed. I like the most the lining insertion. Thank you

It was a great and wonderful experience to work along with Glenda. Learned a lot about attaching the lining to a garment as well as the importance of ironing as you go along. Was worth every penny. Thank you Glenda.

It was my intention to watch this course completely before sewing along. The experience was like reading an intriguing novel, couldn't put it down. Glinda's attention to detai is amazing. Her explanation and demonstration at every facet was incredible. I can't wait to sew a muslin to check the fit, as I have lost a few pounds and inches since drawing my first blueprint. Thanks Glinda.

From the time I started watching this video, I felt like I was right in class with Glenda. She has such a calm confident way of explaining the processes involved to achieve a beautiful, professional finished garment . I found this course very well organized and loved that Glenda's instructions not only tell you WHAT to do, but always with timely explanations as to WHY. I am not new to sewing but am new to garment construction. I picked up a few tips along the way that can be applied to other future garments. I would recommend this course not only to experienced sewers but also to beginners. It is clear, concise and the video placed perfectly so that you are able to see exactly what is being taught. I also love that I can always access this course in case I need a refresher. Thanks so much for the inspiration Glenda!

Can't do without Glenda. She makes pattern drafting look so easy. However, it is not easy. It is just easy because Glenda knows how to get the message across. She is an EXCELLENT teacher. Pat Buis Tennessee

This is the first Sew Along I have watched and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As always, very clear instructions .....and I was particularly pleased to learn about lining a dress, very informative.
