Tutorials

We add at least two new tutorials to Stitch School every month. We’ll be covering fun Pattern Hacks, informative techniques, answering your fitting queries and much more! You’ll get access to all of our tutorials with either of Stitch School’s subscription levels.

How to do a bust adjustment on the Antonia Dress
In these Stitch School tutorials you'll learn how to do a full or small bust adjustment on the Antonia Dress pattern. Antonia is a classic tea dress style with darted bust panels and a separate underbust pattern piece, so if you have another pattern that is constructed in the same way then you'll be able to use this method for that too!
How to fit princess seams
In this tutorial Rosie talks you through fitting a princess seamed toile. Using the Clementine Dress as an example, Rosie talks through the changes that can be made and how to transfer them to your pattern pieces.
How to sew a herringbone stitch
You might have come across a herringbone stitch in embroidery, but it's also really useful in sewing your own clothes too. In this tutorial you'll be shown how to sew a herringbone stitch to secure a facing in place, but we'll also talk through the other areas that you can use it to add a little class to your garments.
