Season 13
Episode 1305
Fitting garments is said to be one of the hardest skills in sewing. Peggy defines fit as when the length, circumference, and depth of the pattern match that of the body.

On this episode of Fit-2-Stitch, Peggy explains the concepts of LCD -length, circumference, and depth and what you must know to apply them to your garments.
