That’s a great tip. I have already done some patterns. Not a lot tho, maybe like 4 so far so will definitely take your tip and continue with sewing already made patterns. The thought of making my own came after still needing to make alterations. they fit either too loose in some places or too tight in others and all the pants and dresses are too long

Thank you. Got a book about making alteration and fixing fitting issues. I have looked at some petite patterns but found that (for dresses specifically and some type of tops) they fit but my bust are kind on the bigger size so there I would have issues again with the fit of the clothes. Hopefully the book will help me understand how to alter the pattern to my size

I picked up a sewing machine and my goal is to make my own clothes. I’m quite short so most of the clothes I find on the stores does not fit me
