Why Do I Need A TNT Pattern?
Of course, there may come a time when you decide to sew a garment at the last minute, leaving you no time for fuss. That’s where your TNT comes in like a shining star.
Some sewists have TNT’s for all categories of clothing. What a dream, right? I currently only have two, but will eventually work my way up to covering all garment types with TNT’s.

Hi my name is Luel and I am a mother of 4 children and 3 beautiful grandchildren, I am trying to learn sewing step by step by the Grace of God.. Even doe my mother was a semester I didn’t take her skill but I am a Catering by profession… But as I get older I realize my passion for learning to sew so I am happy I found ur page on Ytub and I love how u explain step by step for me as a beginner to understand.. God bless u looking forward to lean more from u. U may see a message from 2 different phone at Times but it’s Luel or u may see my second name Cecilia ok.
Hi Luel! Welcome to my community. I’m so glad to have you join me and look forward to hearing about your progress as you enter into the journey of sewing. Enjoy the process!
Anita you always look so good in everything that you make.Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you so much Veleda!
OMGoodness, Corynne! I LOVE that book too. It changed everything for me too when it came to fitting my patterns. I didn’t even know I needed a swayback alteration. until someone pointed it out in 2015. I’m so glad you found the book to be helpful too.
I would LOVE to have lunch with you. I’ll be ready when you come. to Cali.
?♀️ Hi Anita. Girl you better pose those poses! I really enjoyed the video. It was so much fun to watch, educational and professional all at the same time, and you did a beautiful presentation of Mrs. Harrison. The TNT pattern is a great idea Thank you so much for always including us in your sewing world. God bless.
Peggy!!! Hahaha!!! I’m always trying pose, you know! Thank you so much for watching the video and commenting here. It was a lot of fun to make.
You always look so amazing in your me-made clothes. I think that for some people, maybe it’s worth considering finding a pattern block that approximates to their shape. I am only 5’1″ and not a typical female shape; the adjustments I have to make to most patterns are ridiculous. I’ve pretty much given up on women’s patterns and am starting from teenage boy patterns with a FBA.
Great advice Shanne! I too need to make blocks — something I’ve been putting off for way too long. Thank. you for the alternative recommendation.
