Yes, very helpful! I struggle with getting a good fit. Could you explain how to do these types of adjustments when you have bust darts? I’m narrower at the shoulders, full bust D cup and waist slightly smaller than full bust measurement. How would you grade this with a the bust dart in the pattern?? Thank you!

my measurements are bust 44 waist 42 and hips 44 but the pattern i have only goes up to 16 do i just keep measuring out drawing lines to get to size that it is saying that i need

@amandac.5846 5 ай бұрын

This is great, it’s similar to the Nancy Zieman method but easier bc the pattern is graded pre cut

Needed this! I only just started my very first garment, but look forward to many more. Where does it say the seam allowance on the pattern? Also... What do I do if a pattern is too large? My measurements suggested a 6, but after making a mock-up of the torso, it overlapped by over 6 inches!

@SewAnastasia 2 жыл бұрын

The seam allowance will be somewhere on the pattern instructions. If the pattern is too large you need to take it in the same way I made this one bigger… & wow that’s a lot of overlap. Definitely get in the habit of measuring your patterns & adjusting them before the mock up. I know from my experience commercial patterns can have a ton of ease in them! Happy sewing & thank you for watching.

Thank you for your awesome work. My question is how do you grade neck circumference smaller.

@SewAnastasia 8 ай бұрын

Bring it in at the shoulders, c.f & c.b and blend with a french curve.

@deborahtaylor8028 11 ай бұрын

This is so useful for the back, do you have a video on how to measure the front of a pattern with a side bust dart? I have a very broad rounded back and it skews the full bust adjustment I need to do - I want to be able to measure the front pattern piece separately to work out how much fba to do, if that makes sense.....

@SewAnastasia 6 ай бұрын

I don't have a video specifically on measuring a pattern with a side bust dart but the measuring is the same. Just take out the width of the dart for measuring the side seam.

What about the measurements on the actual pattern? Those are often different than what is on the envelope.

@SewAnastasia 6 ай бұрын

Yes. The envelope pattern measurements are a guide for what size to cut out not the actual paper patterns measurements.

@jessicaraine8403 2 жыл бұрын

Be careful. For many plus size women measuring at the nipple is wrong and wool result in incorrect measurements.

True. Many patterns are sized for b cups. If I go by her method, I get neck gap. Never mind the waist....

So how do I measure my 42dddd?

@prbasset6371 3 ай бұрын

@@sshantobia1 you measure your above bust. To buy a pattern going by your actual bust the would be too large on shoulders hence got by above bust and do a full bust adjustment. Ido not agree with this video. Pleas research this further. As this is not a method I would recommend.

Where do these people come up with sizes 🤦‍♀️ you are a 12 lol that’s hilarious

@SewAnastasia 2 ай бұрын

Ha. Yeah it’s based on a different number system than today’s store bought clothes. I feel like the numbers are everywhere in store bought clothes too. I think they should just sell clothes as finished garment measurements! Or some other system based on actual body numbers.
