There are many average size and short men who just don’t fit into ready-to-wear garments and the sewing patterns that are available don’t fit much better. Broad shoulders, narrow shoulders, longer or shorter arms than average, or a “belly” that hangs over the belt buckle can cause major problems with any shirt or pull-over garment or sewing pattern that is available.

Buttons don’t close, shirts won’t stay tucked in, long sleeves end up a couple of inches too long makes fitting a nightmare! Pattern Making for your average to short man and teenage boys can be the answer to fitting problems for normally average size men and average size teen age boys.

The Oriental method of pattern making used in this class gives instructions on taking his measurements, then using those measurements to make patterns that will fit him perfectly. The clothing will have no choice but to fit because you’ve used HIS measurements for every pattern, not a “standard” set of measurements that garment manufacturer’s and pattern companies use. You can make dress shirts, sport shirts, pull-over shirts, vests, night wear and pants all with a perfect fit using Pattern Making For Men as a guide.

The pattern making for men and teenage boys includes step by step instructions and illustrations for everything from taking measurements to actually drawing each and every pattern.

All pattern making and pattern makeover classes were written by me. While my husband was stationed in Tainan, Taiwan in the military, I took pattern making classes at the Cheing Mei Pattern Making School. Five nights a week, while my husband took care of our 6 children, I attended the pattern making school, with the help of an interpreter. The pattern making course lasted a year, and I graduated alongside 30 Taiwanese students.
