In this weeks episode of The Stitch Please podcast, Lisa dives into the nitty-gritty of commercial sewing patterns! She breaks down the guide sheet, spills the tea on pattern markings (hello, notches, grain lines, and bust lines!), and shares her top tips for staying organized with pattern pieces. Plus, Lisa reminds us why reading those instructions more than once is a game-changer and how sew alongs and online sewing buddies can be your secret weapon. Stitch smarter, not harder!
