I went to a free seminar for this many, many years ago-(I think over 20), I made a vest pattern at the event, and I bought the system-then I just never did anything with it!! You have inspired me to dig it out and make something from their pattern book!! I have a ton of patterns in my book! Thank you, great video!
I bought this 18 years ago and dug mine out of storage. You inspired me to try again. Your shorts came out great. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for all you do.
You may want to study the clip where she's wearing the shorts again because they are not fitting her very well. Can't you see it riding up in the crotch area?
Thank you so much for this review. I just received mine yesterday!! I'm so excited to try it and eventually master it. It could sure save a lot on patterns and looks like fun.
Thanks for the Video. Just wanted to let you know, you have used the measuring tape wrong. The number of the cm are on the line. For instance 17 cm are on the line below and 17.5 cm are between 17 and 18 cm.
you have complete Mastery over the Golden Rule Method and translated it in a clear and concrete manner for us practical application. Thank you soo much . i am wholeheartedly subscribing to your channel
I just got the basic Lutterloh book/system, and #94 in your book is a totally different pattern in your book. I realize it’s now two years after you made this video, but I’d like to know how often they change the basic pattern collection. I’ve ordered the 2023 summer supplement after seeing someone preview it in a video. And I’m curious about whether you have used this system much since you made this video.
My 94 is still shorts, but the whole pic looks like it could be an at home lounge outfit (has what appears to be a robe/long jacket)…but she’s holding a large purse… 🤦🏼♀️. Bought my system this past year (2023)
Thanks for the refresher tutorial. I have this and haven't used it in a while. Will be a good project for the covid winter restriction ...what else is left to do but sew sew sew....
This seems so perfect for someone like me who has no access to purchase patterns nearby (too rural). It would be nice if they offered a really small kit with just a pattern or two to test for fit before making a huge investment. Thanks for sharing these videos!
I am interested in the golden rule but you didn't say anything which addresses alterations-full bust adjustment, cloth rise, sway back etc. Are adjustments addressed somewhere in the kit?
Lindsey, thank you for this introduction and demo. For those of us who need 'standard' adaptations to every pattern, eg. sway back; forward shoulder - is there a way of drafting that into the template? If not, it seems there is nothing that allows for individual fit issues.
I’m going to need some time to work my way up to that. But I’ll keep working with it and will attempt one soon. I think I’m going to do a basic top next.
This system only ever uses two measurements - bust and hip. You’ll use your bust measurement to mark dots on and above the waist on the pattern, and the hip measurement to mark dots below the waist.
hi lindsay, thx for video. i quite enjoy this method. i have a lot of vintage patterns that are drafted this way...and no instruction to put together lol..good job demonstrating, ur muslin is pretty good too, easy to see where adjust is needed..i have difficulty with pants and shorts, i feel like my bottom half may be alien 😆 its out of my price range but def keep it on a wish list..tfs:)
Thanks for the video. I wish you had talked about the final fit. It looked like the shorts didn’t fit you properly in the crotch area. Was this video sponsored?
As noted in the description, the video is sponsored. Fitting pants/shorts for me is very difficult. Rarely do they ever fit perfectly right out of the gate. I mentioned that the make was just a Muslin and as with all new patterns tweeks will need to be made.
I’m confused by the measurements on the tape. Is the whole number the dark line or the mid-line? It looked to me that the ‘18’ would be the dark full line. Did the instructions clarify this?
Thanks for the video, quest. How do you know what fabric to use? I wish this system had smaller kit, as a trial, maybe 4 patterns, 2 shirts 2 pants/ with the rulers, and measuring tape. This way I can see if I want to invest $$ on the 280 pattern kit. I am a new sewer, I am afraid to spend $$, and not able to do use.
I would not recommend this for newer sewists actually. Unless you had some experiences drafting patterns already. Traditional pattern companies (watch my first impression Friday videos) will give you suggestions on which fabrics to use.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE………make a video drafting Lutterloh pattern #245 in main book. It’s a long coat/jacket & the pattern to draft is completely overwhelming me. My fabric cost a good dime & I’m terrified of cutting into it. I’m having trouble figuring out how many separate patterns come out of just the front diagram. I’m desperate for help. Thank you.
Do you still use the golden rule pattern drafting kit and if so do you like it or do you have to do a lot of altering to get them to fit you? Its alot of money for me to invest into , but if it works and is pretty good system I I don’t mind investing in it. What’s your recommendation about it? By the way I love your videos
Your shorts look great. Good fit! I've had this system since the early 1990's! I didn't use it for a number of years because there were no sewing instructions and I was intimidated. LOL I am much more comfortable with clothing construction now (many years later) so I do use my Lutterloh system. I actually have fabric on my cutting table right now waiting for me to cut a top from supplement #304. Thanks for the video. :) Pam
First, thanks so much for checking! So sweet. Second, no affiliate link, no personal code. But they are offering 15% off right now. The code is in the banner of their website.
@@InsidetheHem thanks so much for getting back to me. It seems like a good value if the garments come out looking good. They have been around a while I take it, and I trust you. It’s always nice to have options for all the parts of garments. Honestly, I more often than not change the sleeve neckline make a woven in a knit, I just get an idea and scour pattens etc to make my idea. This will be a valuable tool for me and hopefully help me with a better outcome overall. Things done always come out perfectly when I grab a sleeve and throw it on the wrong pattern for example haha. I know he basics of drafting and construction, but this seems worth investing in. Thanks again and your tutorial was really well done as usual😇🎯👌✅
Hi Lindsey! This is an interesting system. I think the "metric" part of it might turn me off, my brain just has trouble translating that. Also, are you sure you are using that tape measure right? Aren't the large marks the full cm and the small marks the half cm? Not trying to sound witchy, because I love your content, and maybe I am wrong....but don't want you to use the wrong method if you are making something much more complicated. Please take this as love from a teacher....
Hi, nice explaining. However is not nice looking by crotch, just doesn’t sit well on your body. Bunches too much, haven’t seen that in a long while. Anyway to correct that look? Otherwise nice fit. Thinking about getting this system but is cost worth finding more than 3-4 to use🤷♀️

Bad fit
I believe you were hitting a half-line short on all your marks. Full numbers are the long line on the tape measure

I always photocopy the patterns and that way you stick the photocopy to the paper and your original pattern is not damaged.
Hi Sweetie, I would laminate all my pages to make them last a long time!🥰
you have complete Mastery over the Golden Rule Method and translated it in a clear and concrete manner for us practical application. Thank you soo much . i am wholeheartedly subscribing to your channel
Thank you!!
Just noticed you marked the 1/2 mark where you said the whole number. Don’t know if you realized it. But I love this sustem

Just noticed hers is 194….my 194 is a short sleeved midi dress… 🤦🏼♀️.
Never heard of this. Thanks. You make it not sound scary.
I’ve been waiting for your review on this! I hope you do some more complex patterns soon.
Thanks for the refresher tutorial. I have this and haven't used it in a while. Will be a good project for the covid winter restriction ...what else is left to do but sew sew sew....
That's pretty cool. It's more than I can afford. Thank you for sharing it.
Bought mine ages ago and haven’t used it. Will give it a go.
This seems so perfect for someone like me who has no access to purchase patterns nearby (too rural). It would be nice if they offered a really small kit with just a pattern or two to test for fit before making a huge investment. Thanks for sharing these videos!
They do! They have a kit with 80 patterns!
Lindsey, Happy Thanksgiving and I can't wait to purchase The Golden Rule and get started on drafting my own patters. Take care and God Bless.
Had their system since 1989!,
I am interested in the golden rule but you didn't say anything which addresses alterations-full bust adjustment, cloth rise, sway back etc. Are adjustments addressed somewhere in the kit?
There are some adjustments that are addressed but as with any pattern, you’ll need to make adjustments to fit the uniqueness of your body.
Lindsey, thank you for this introduction and demo. For those of us who need 'standard' adaptations to every pattern, eg. sway back; forward shoulder - is there a way of drafting that into the template? If not, it seems there is nothing that allows for individual fit issues.
Correct. You’d make those alterations after you draw out the pattern.
Can you show us a pattern that has bust, waist and hip measurements. I think they might be more complicated.
I’m going to need some time to work my way up to that. But I’ll keep working with it and will attempt one soon. I think I’m going to do a basic top next.
This system only ever uses two measurements - bust and hip. You’ll use your bust measurement to mark dots on and above the waist on the pattern, and the hip measurement to mark dots below the waist.

@@InsidetheHem try making the crotch curve straighter? ...or more curved? Hmmmm
Plwase can u let me know were i could perchase the kits. Thank u
Google " the golden rule sewing" there is an i-love-to-sew website
Best to Copy Pattern and replace the original bCk into Binder ♡
I’m confused by the measurements on the tape. Is the whole number the dark line or the mid-line? It looked to me that the ‘18’ would be the dark full line. Did the instructions clarify this?
They did not. I’ll reach out to make sure which mark is the correct one.
Exactly, the dark one is 18, the light one is 0.5cm, I noticed it too
Thanks for the video, quest. How do you know what fabric to use? I wish this system had smaller kit, as a trial, maybe 4 patterns, 2 shirts 2 pants/ with the rulers, and measuring tape.

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you Lindsey. Well done. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁❤️

Hello, where did you get your curved seam allowance green ruler you were using?
It’s from The Stitch Buzz!
@@InsidetheHem thank you. That is a must have for me. I'm really thinking about trying "The Golden Rule" system.
That is soooo cool!
Your shorts look great. Good fit! I've had this system since the early 1990's! I didn't use it for a number of years because there were no sewing instructions and I was intimidated.

Hi Lindsey! Happy Thanksgiving! Would the Golden Rule be good for a beginner sewist? Thank you!
I would say no just because there aren’t any instructions. But get some more garments under your belt and come back to it!
Seamstress. You're making clothes
Sister : Spick
Paper : 10 showing pattern project .
Where did you get the seam allowance ruler?
Stitch Buzz. Use my code: Lindsey20 for 20% off. :)
It mystify sand demystifys thanks for sharing I’m Gigi to check it out!
What pattern paper are you using as it doesn’t look like tracing paper.
It’s medical exam paper! :)
Is this available in imperial measurements?
No. It's not.
Hey Lindsey, I think I’m going to order it, do you have an affiliate or coupon or both? Thx

Is it the Lutterloh system?
Yes.

I will reach out to them to confirm which marking is correct. Because as we know, those 1/2 cms add up fast!!
Hiya, I'm European and I was confused as well I do believe you are missing a few centimeters. They still looked great though :)
Looks like the Lutterloh system.
I think the Golden Rule is the lutterloh renamed. I started seeing videos under the new name but then saw videos using both names.
Were can i purchase the holden rule in South Africa
Hmm. I’m not sure. I would reach out to them directly about this.
@@InsidetheHem Try the Bernina Outlets - they usually stock the Golden Rule there.
Not sure there are enough measurements taken. The shorts seemed to be too short in the crotch depth. How does this system allow for bigger tummies?
It doesn't. You'd still have to make those adjustments yourself.
Hi, nice explaining. However is not nice looking by crotch, just doesn’t sit well on your body. Bunches too much, haven’t seen that in a long while. Anyway to correct that look? Otherwise nice fit. Thinking about getting this system but is cost worth finding more than 3-4 to use🤷♀️
Would you be willing to give a price on the system? If so. how much?
You can see about pricing at the link in the description box! I think they are on sale right now!
I was going to order it until I saw they wanted 5K for it.
You explained this so good 😊 😮
Oh good! Thank you!
I'm sorry, but that grain line is wrong. Your pattern has switched to an angle, but the grain line didn't move.
