So Much to Celebrate at Sure Fit Designs

There has been so much happening Behind the Scenes at Sure Fit Designs, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you!

We have a new UK distributor, a completely redesigned Line Drafter, the Studio Ruler Pro, new tracing vellum, a brand new website, and a brand newly reconstructed Learning Center.

And I think this all calls for a celebration!

For three days only, August 17 through August 19 at midnight enjoy 15% off everything with code Launch15, excluding our already-discounted curated packages.

Meet Caroline Pelliccia—Sure Fit Designs UK

I'm delighted to officially introduce Caroline Pelliccia, our Sure Fit Designs UK Distributor.

Caroline has been sewing for most of her life and discovered Sure Fit Designs more than a decade ago when she began looking for a better way to understand fit and create garments from her own measurements.

It has been a pleasure working with Caroline, as she prepared for this new chapter. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine desire to help others understand fit make her a wonderful addition to the Sure Fit Designs family. And if Caroline's name is sounding familiar to you....look at our Woven Joggers Style Sheet and you will find that she is the author of those beautifully designed joggers....

Designed for Precision

The new Studio Ruler Pro has been thoughtfully re-engineered with precision drafting at the heart of every detail

I researched how professional rulers are marked, spaced and organized, then carefully refined the line work to create a tool that gives you the information you need without becoming visually overwhelming.

The new design includes 1/2-inch horizontal reference lines in addition to the vertical reference lines, giving you greater accuracy when measuring, aligning, and drafting.

I've also added 30, 45 and 60 degree angles, making it easier to create controlled flare, and other design changes from while drafting and designing.

And because I suspect many of you also enjoy quilting, those same precision markings make the Studio Ruler Pro a wonderfully versatile quilting and cutting ruler as well.

A new ergonomic handle makes the ruler comfortable to position and hold securely while you work.

The result is a refined studio tool created for precision, clarity and versatility— equally at home in your sewing or quilting studio.

Explore the Studio Ruler Pro

Milled Exclusively Just for You

When I was notified that the manufacturer of the tracing vellum we have loved for years would no longer be making our vellum, I'll admit—I thought the world might just have to come to an end.

Instead, I went to work.

I researched extensively, tested all the vellums available for us to use for patternmaking,and compared them carefully for transparency, durability, handling adn overall usefulness. I'm very happy to say that I found something that is even better than what we had before.

Our new tracing vellum is 25 inches by 21 yards long and is being milled exclusively for Sure Fit Designs. This is not an off-the-shelf paper you'll find elsewhere—it has been produced just for you.

I would really encourage you to give it a try, especially during our launch celebration while you can take advantage of the 15% savings.

And, as a happy little coincidence, it also happens to fit beautifully in the same shipping box as the Studio Ruler Pro....sometimes even the biggest challenges really do seam to work out just right. ; )

A Fresh, New Way to Explore Sure Fit Designs

The Sure Fit Designs websites have been completely refreshed with a cleaner look and a much more intuitive way to explore everything we offer.

While you're there, please linger a while and exlore the new Creative Freebies tab in the main navigation. You'll find a updated versions of our Sally & Sebastian silhouettes, along with a collection of free downloadable resources designed to encourage you to experiment, create and have a little fun. There's alot to discover, and I hope the new site makes it easier to find the inspiration and information you're looking for.

A Brand New Learning Center Experience

Over time, so much valuable information had accumulated that finding exactly what you needed could sometimes feel like attempting to navigate a spider web.

So I untangled it.

Now, the resources for each of our kits are gathered together in one clear place. Choose your kit, open its menu, and you'll find the fitting help, education, and creative resources that belong with it—organized so you can get where you need to go without hunting through multiple pages.

Learning Center

Please have so much fun with it. Explore, learn, experiment, and enjoy everything that's there for you.

There has been so much work, thought and care behind all of these changes, and I'm genuinely excited to finally share them with you.

I hope you'll take the time to explore, enjoy the new resources, and discover the new Studio Ruler Pro.

Thank you, as always, for being part of the Sure Fit Designs community and for continuing to create with us.

Fondly,

Janine
