Thank you so much Elsabe! This is the info I needed as I did not feel confident in my bodice fit at all and have held off doing your flared dress and designer jacket videos that I purchased because of that. You and I have a similar body shape and fitting issues and you have addressed every measurement that I need to hone in on! Cheers

As always Elsabe a great instructional video. Very clear and easy to understand. I have now included these additional items into my measurement list.

Thanks for watching, Bev. We fitted Jackie’s sloper today and it is close to perfect. Just her forward shoulder adjustment we need to make.

This is going to be so helpful in really refining fit. I like adding to waist front and subtracting from waist back. I’ll probably have to watch this a few times to fully understand it. Do you have extra measurements for SFD pants pattern to refine the fit?

I always enjoy your videos. Very thorough and clear explanation. Could you please share more tips from you practice, in particular on drafting and fitting different types of sleeves. The SFD library has some info but maybe there is more to say. For circumference measurements, I use the sliding measuring tape. Glenda had it on the site. I think it is also elsewhere available . It frees the hands.

Thank you for watching. I have just added a Mix&Match sleeve design class to my a academy. I started with the popular sleeve styles we are currently seeing in ready to wear. I will be adding new sleeve designs on a monthly basis so that we eventually have a large library of sleeve styles. It is on early bird promotion until 20 April. Use discount code EARLYBIRD20 before checkout . Visit www.surefitacademysa.com. Also look at my forward shoulder video where I show the sleeve adjustment.

Hi You said you graded up on the front and down on the back but the text on there said you went down to 35 from 36 on the front ???

Thank you for letting me know. I will have a look at that and correct it. I was editing till late, so any thing is possible🤪

Bonjour, Effectivement, cela parait évident de prendre ces mesures pour obtenir un bon ajustement et au bon endroit, du buste, mais c'est la première fois que je le vois. Merci ! Mais dans la démonstration, vous prenez également la mesure du tour de biceps et de la pointe de l'épaule à la ligne de biceps, mais ensuite vous n'utilisez pas ces mesures. Est-ce en vue d'ajuster la manche ? Mais je n'ai pas vu de vidéo sur ce point d'ajustement. A bientôt !

Thank you for watching. I use the cap measurement on the sleeve draft. Please look for the link in description box to download the ‘Sleeve and its quirkiness’ leaflet. Sure-Fit Designs gives me a sleeve master pattern that we use for our basic block, so after drafting my block according to my measurement, I then look at this measurement to fine tune my pattern.
