June 16, 2026·1h 18m
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this fascinating episode, we get to see the inner workings of Malena's day job as a pattern drafter. Using Clo 3D, Malena shows how to turn a pants pattern into shorts while avoiding all the pitfalls. Then she converts Johanna's Vide Pants Pattern into barrel pants, and Johanna has to eat her previous judgment on barrel joggers. Because Malena's version looks really great! About Clo 3D It's a program to help designers and pattern makers evaluate proportions and fit digitally.Garments are tested on a virtual body with your intended fabric, which opens up new ways of thinking about fit, length, drape, and overall shape before sewing a physical sample.Clo 3D SoftwareEmail us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stitchingtalespod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or contact us at our socials:Stitching Tales on InstagramStitching Tales on YouTubeAbout Malena Hjerpe: Professional pattern maker, sewing book author and owner of Hazelhen Patterns.Hazelhen Patterns Instagramhazelhenpatterns.com (get your free Malva t-shirt pattern)About Johanna Lundström: Sewing book author, pattern designer and sewing content creator.thelaststitch.comThe Last Stitch Instagram
