i bought it and actually used it to make a dress. as I had grown out of the "buy the pattern and make it and wear it", i needed the dress and couldn't find anything i liked. it worked well, but you have to follow the directions closely and know how to make the facings and add the seam allowances and such. making the pattern is the hardest part. i never got the chance to use it again, but the dress fit well. good luck! if
you try it, with all the different types of clothes they show you should be able to make a good wardrobe....

Using the Lutterioh System

But the sicssors that I bought from this demo I've treasured every since, KAI brand. Best I've ever had.

This could have been written by me, word for word. I got the pattern for the vest by volunteering to have my
measurements taken by the salesman, and it does fit nicely. I also get two pairs of pants....sometimes I go back
and get another to take apart for a pattern, which tells you how much I've used that expensive pattern making system!
And I do agree that the sicssors I bought there were and are marvelous. I used to hide them from husband and kids, with threats of no more desserts if anyone at all touched them!!! Still working nicely, sharp and clean cutting. Worth every cent I paid for them, but as for the pattern making system, I haven't really given it a fair trial. But since I also got mine in the late 1980s.........maybe someday.

I've been really happy with it even tho it was pretty expensive. I bought mine at a demo they had at my local Hancock store.
