The Golden Rule, 280 Sewing Patterns & Fashion Styles for Hobby Dressmakers from Lutterloh-Systems

Since purchase, I've made two tops and a skirt. Its easy to use and I am very pleased with the fit of the garments. I have used multi sized patterns in the past, this system gives a better result and is quicker to use.There are many pattern styles to choose from, mainly women's styles. There are a few patterns for men, children, maternity, wedding, fuller and petite figures. Its good value, as patterns can be expensive to buy individually.The patterns don't come with an order of work, so you'll need to have some sewing knowledge, or research first what you need to do.I'm an adventurous beginner and have managed so far with my pattern selection.I intend to carry on using the system, I wouldn't return to multi sized paper patterns any time soon.I would recommend the Lutterloh system.

This system is very good. So far all garments made from it fit perfectly. Only critism I have is that they don't send the patterns that are advertised in the preview. At least a third of them were different and I had in particular been looking forward to patterns not included in the set I received. I did email them but have had no response from them. I am reluctant to buy further supplements in case the same happens again.

I have been debating whether to get this set for some time. I now wish I had invested a long time ago! I do know how to pattern draft, but it can be time consuming and fiddly. The instructions are very easy to follow and fool proof. Everything, except drafting paper, is included. With two measurements it is simple to draft patterns of almost any kind to fit perfectly. Making body/leg length adjustments was simple and well explained. This system covers both adults and childrens patterns. When the pack arrived, I was mystified how a pattern of approx. 5cm x 5cm could possibly expand into a full size pattern, but it does. For the price of less than 10 patterns, this has already paid for itself. I had to go on the internet to find out how to get future designs, but it wasn't difficult to get a subscription and orders arrive promptly.

The videos make it look so easy but it's not. If your tummy is bigger than hips more measuring is needed. I have wasted more paper on this product

This really is an amazing pattern system. It works. I was a bit worried because it does cost quite a lot. Good selection of patterns to choose from. I don't give it five stars because I feel that there could be a few more hints or tips on piecing together your work. It seems to assume that the user is experienced. Also I thought the service from the company was not the best. They 'lost' my order so I had to wait quite a while for it but I have to say they did send a free pattern collection as compensation.

Old fashioned designs.

This system does work but it is not for a new dressmaker, there are no instructions for sewing together, so you really need some experience.

Well written book to help us understand what is needed to make a good garment
