My AUNT thought I was overcomplicating her simple skirt pattern

She brought me a picture and expected a perfect pattern in an hour. I had to explain about grain lines and ease, which she found confusing. What's your go-to way to gently educate someone on why patternmaking takes TIME?

Ugh, my mom still doesn’t get why my simple apron draft took three fittings.

Seriously @josephprice, even simple drafts can be such a pain!

Wait, three fittings for an apron? Really?
