Your projects are lovely! Thank you for sharing them. I just received my Lutterloh kit - have been learning to draw patterns from a sloper and wanted to incorporate more variety of styles. Am looking forward to starting with a jacket first and your video has really inspired me to "get going"!
What i love about this system is that even if you don't want to make the exact item you can use it to craft like a basic bodice or a basic dress and work from it to make it your own
Just bought the lutterhof, I'm only an advanced beginner so know, some of the patterns will be a puzzle to figure out the construction, but thats what a hobby is for I figure. Thank you for posting.
I'm so glad to have found your channel. So lovely to see another mature woman of color on TH-cam! I've been thinking of buying the Lutterloh kit to versus tracing my clothes because I desperately want to sew for other people, too. THANK YOU for this review and especially modeling how the clothes fit.
Thank you for your great comments! I think you will love how quickly you can draft patterns with Lutterloh versus tracing around your own clothes. For me, it brought the fun back to dressmaking.
I loved your makes and would be so happy if you decide to post Lutterloh sew alongs/tutorials as I have the system but haven't had the confidence to make more than a very basic top...it would be great to have some help with the more adventurous styles. Thank you x
So glad you mentioned you owned the Lutterloh golden rule system for ages. I have owned the system since 2007 and dug it out of a storage tub a few days ago. Seeing the beautiful garments you made has inspired me. Tomorrow I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
I brought the lutterloh set too scared to make anything because the lack of instructions. But watching your videos makes me want to try. Looking forward to more of your videos
Great thank you i have this system but gave up because I thought the only things that could be made were basic like the waistcoat they shoe each time. I've bought SFD But struggle because you need help with measuring and altering my hubby does his best. I have learned I have narrow shoulders and need to do bust adjustments and other little tweaks for fit. I used Palmer and Pletch pattern book which is really good. I'm thinking maybe I should try the Lutterhol again. Look forward to seeing more videos from you Irene
Lovely sewing and choice of fabrics. I must start using my Lutterloh kit and patterns. Suggestions for fabrics should come with this system as well as assembling instructions. Well done!
Great tuition and inspiration as usual. As previous reviews I haven't had the confidence to use the lutterloh with watching yourself you are giving me the confidence to get stuck in. Hope you do more will be keeping my eyes open for you. Big thank you
I bought a Lutterloh pack from eBay years ago, but haven't used it. Your video inspires me to try it out. I've read the instructions and it seems fairly simple, so I'll give it a shot. Thank you!
wow! Every single item is beautiful! I'm trying to learn to sew, and I like you sense of style best. I can picture myself making the things you make. Beautiful!
Oh my god..all your outfit are beautifully made. I just got you in my feed and so happy to see this. I have been thinking of getting the system but was not sure if pattern are up to date but with your make it started to look they are in style. Thank you
Hi Jules I’m not fortunate to have a full bust so the shoulders and neckline are perfect for me. If you are struggling to get a good fit practice with the waistcoat pattern. Draft the pattern using the full bust measurement then cut all pattern pieces from some cheap fabric to make a toile. Pin or extend the places that are too big or small and make a note of these alterations each time you draft another pattern from the range. Eg I have to lengthen the bodice by 5cm each time I draft a pattern. Hope that helps
I have one of those machines I bought it a year ago 🥳🥳🥳 I agree with quality 👍 do you find that the patterns and their details : sleeves skirts and tops etc are easy to mix and match ?
Hi Wendy I love my singer sewing machine ❤️ yes after you have made a few patterns it’s quite easy to piece them together to make dresses or change a detail.
Love your projects! I am not really enthusiastic about the patterns this system offers & wondered if the system could be used with commercial patterns. While I've been sewing my whole lufe, and like you studied fashion design in high school & college & could put the patterns together just fine, but it doesn't seem like a user friendly system for a beginning sewer.
Thank you. I think the more recent Lutterloh patterns do a better job of illustrating how the garment will look when sewn together. There are quite a lot of patterns suited to the beginner sewer but I agree it can be difficult to understand how to construct some of the more complex patterns. Hopefully I can help with that, with my videos. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you 😊 I think the system is good as you have 280 patterns to practice your sewing with. Some are very simple and don’t really need instructions to make however the more complicated ones might be more challenging for the beginning sewer. Hope that helps
Thanks for watching. To reduce your pattern for stretch fabrics. Start by measuring a 10cm box of the fabric you plan to use. Then stretch the fabrics out just before it begins to buckle. Measure the stretched fabric. This measurement is your stretch ratio. Eg if the fabric stretches to 15cm it has a stretch ratio of 50% or if it stretches to 12.5cm then it has a stretch ratio of 25% so in order to get a closer fit I would reduce the width of the pattern (all pattern pieces across the width) by 5% on the 50% stretch ratio and 2% on the 25% stretch ratio. I work out how much to take off the pattern by using my hip measurement. If my hip measures 100cm and I want to reduce it by 5% I divide 5cm equally across all pattern pieces. (front pattern on fold reduce by 1.25cm and the back pattern piece reduce by 1.25cm then cut 2 pieces from fabric. Hope this helps
Well done! You look terrific in your clothes!
Follow the letters on the patter for the sewing order. Start with where you match the letter A then go on to B and so on
Polka dots never go out of style! Love the top.

Thank for the comments. I certainly will be posting more Lutterloh videos. Feel free to ask any questions about the system. I’m happy to help 😍
Wonderful makes! Thanks for sharing the info about reducing the size depending on the stretch of the fabric.
So glad you mentioned you owned the Lutterloh golden rule system for ages. I have owned the system since 2007 and dug it out of a storage tub a few days ago. Seeing the beautiful garments you made has inspired me. Tomorrow I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
Goodness, your sewing output is phenomenal! Really enjoyed your makes and can't wait for my own kit to arrive.
I brought the lutterloh set too scared to make anything because the lack of instructions. But watching your videos makes me want to try. Looking forward to more of your videos

Your makes were absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely sewing and choice of fabrics. I must start using my Lutterloh kit and patterns. Suggestions for fabrics should come with this system as well as assembling instructions. Well done!
Good suggestion will try to add that to videos!
Just bought the system yesterday. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Thanks for the video it was great.
This was fabulous! I just discovered this system, and your video was the first I clicked. Thank you for this!

Thanks for the kind comments Debbie. I hope to make more videos very soon!
I love the outfits you made. I just received my Lutterloh system and would be very happy if you post your sew alongs and tutorials. Thank you!
You did great, love the results!!
I loved your makes. They all looked very good on you. I'm to grips with using the Lutterloh system, so this video has encouraged me.
Glad to hear my video has encouraged you are using the Lutterloh system. Thank you so much 😀
Would love to see pants if you have any made with the system
This was great! And yes, I'm still searching for a book on construction so I can know what order to assemble it in.
Yes I hope to do a video on that to show my process.
Love your makes. Because it uses the full bust measurement do you find the shoulders and neckline can be to big?
Hi Jules I’m not fortunate to have a full bust so the shoulders and neckline are perfect for me. If you are struggling to get a good fit practice with the waistcoat pattern. Draft the pattern using the full bust measurement then cut all pattern pieces from some cheap fabric to make a toile. Pin or extend the places that are too big or small and make a note of these alterations each time you draft another pattern from the range. Eg I have to lengthen the bodice by 5cm each time I draft a pattern. Hope that helps

Hola desde españa me encanta todos los diseños me gustaria saber donde puedo mandar a pedir los suplementos
Hola Mari muchas gracias 😃 Usted puede pedir suplementos de www.I-love-dressmaking.com que son internacionales
@@jenstylishsoul muchas gracias
Hola me gustaria k cuando hagas los patrones k digas el numero del suplementos de los patrones muchas gracias
Hola Mari! hay 40 patrones en cada suplemento. Gracias por ver
@@jenstylishsoul I think the commenter meant for you to put the Supplement# along with the pattern# of the pieces you show and tell:)
Great styling of those garments. They all look so good on you. Wondering how you went about scaling down 5% and 10%?
I was wondering the same?
Love your projects!

Nice video!
Love your makes! Your so talented. I am an ok sewer but I am just starting to make clothes. So do you recommend this for a beginner for clothes? TIA!

@@jenstylishsoul yes it does. Thank you!
When you say reduced by 10% or 5% how did you measure that? Was this in cm/inches? Lovely video, I am definitely purchasing this next week.
