Sue M - thanks for your comment. The How-To DVD is an excellent visual guide for drawing the pattern. I hope you have it...and follow it step by step. When you get into the pants pattern, if you need assistance with any fitting issues, don't hesitate to ask.
I had made so many other pairs of pants and was disappointed each and every time. First ones I made using SFD system fit me so nicely. I would suggest when you finish drafting your pattern that you follow the SFD video of perfecting or trueing the pants pattern. Good luck!
Something to try if another person is not available to photograph you--- check your cell phone for a timer function. I have had several entry level smart phones over the last decade, and they all had a timer function for the camera. Prop the phone upright on a book shelf, window ledge, whatever is at the correct height. I usually set the timer to 10 seconds, the maximum for my phone . On Android phones, it's typically this sequence: open the camera app, press settings, press timer from the menu, select the number of seconds.
Thank you for this. I have made a pair of shorts using Your system. They turned out pretty good for a first time. I actually spent last couple of days watching your video on perfecting the pants pattern and did find out that I did have a couple of flaws which I corrected. I am just waiting on some fabric to arrive to sew them. I also was fortunate to receive the shirt kit as a Xmas present and can’t wait to start using it. Is there a video lesson on using the shirt kit? Unlike my other 2 kits I did not notice a code for a video download. I really appreciate all the tutorials and help you give us newbies.

@@surefitdesigns Yes, thank you so much. I had totally forgot they were on that disk. Have to excuse me. Last week was little chaotic as we were getting back home from extended trip and dealing with unpacking and other things. Thanks again.
Thanks to all of you Glenda at the Sure Fit Designs team!
Valerie Bishop - you are most welcome.
I'm loving these videos. So helpful.
thank you Charlene Fiumara...I'm so glad they are of benefit for you.
This is perfect. I want to attempt the pants kit after the new year.
