The Academy of Sewing

For Plus-Size Senior Sewists
​A Perfect Fit Without the Pattern Struggle.

Traditional pattern alterations are a frustrating cycle of math, adjustments, and failed muslins. The Fit Your Twin Fitting Method replaces the struggle with a straightforward, proprietary system. Stop wrestling with paper patterns that weren’t built for you and start sewing clothes that fit the first time.

No More Pattern Guesswork

A fitting system that actually accounts for YOUR body—not a "standard" that doesn't exist.

Less Fitting, More Sewing

Spend your time making clothes you'll wear, not wrestling with endless adjustments.

Confidence Before You Cut

Know it's going to fit before your scissors touch the fabric.
