This week on Fit Tip Tuesday I'm going to review the #topdowncenterout pants fitting method based on my recent classroom experiences. I had two classes the last two weekends and they were so much fun! I have some tips to share with you if you're trying to learn how to use this method. These tips are inspired by what happened in class with my students (who did an amazing job!!). I'm also going to show you the new pants pattern I'm working on and illustrate how there can be wrinkles on your pants, even if you fit them well! It's going to be a jam packed tutorial! ...Next week I'm going to show you how I would work with a Jeans Pattern using Top Down Center Out... (Tested during my Jean Fit Workshop in Jacksonville last month!)
