Hi, thanks for sharing your expertise in making adjustments on commercial sewing patterns. I use patterns from the major sewing companies. Those patterns do not state the measurements for high bust, high hip, biceps and other measurements that you used in your adjustments. QUESTION: Which commercial patterns did you use that listed these body measurements? I’ve never seen these measurements on any of the sewing patterns I’ve used in the past. I’ve been sewing garments for myself for 56 years. When I grew to my stable size, I was a size 12 according to patterns and never had to make adjustments. Now that I am a senior who had a child, I am substantially larger and patterns do not fit my body. I wish I had learned how to make adjustments years ago! I read a few books on doing it but it seemed so complicated I didn’t attempt doing it. Your video made doing adjustments so much simpler than reading a book. From Canada, 🇨🇦🦫🍁👍

My Leo I made has an issue. The neckline has 3/8" clear elastic. The seam tips forward. Ugh!

First you have to remove the needle and the presser foot shank, am I correct? I bought a Singer 4452 and there is no manual. I'm so annoyed. You don't have to answer the question, I'm going to have to fumble around with it. Thanks for the help you have given.

This is so useful even for other patterns, thank you.

This is so helpful to see the bigger mannequin! Where did you get it? I need one for my body. Also, your voice reminds me of Kristy Swanson. You have such a pleasant and gentle manner which makes me feel like we're just talking about the business of fitting without any sort of judgment. I haven't made it through the whole video yet but your positive attitude and straightforward open minded manner makes this such a nice change. Thank you.

Great tutorial 🙂 I am interested in purchasing the bodice block you are showing in the tutorial but I can’t seem to find it on your web site, is it possible to get a link for it? I make wedding gowns etc and like the idea that I can print out the sizes I need instead of the whole lot thank you.

Thanks so much. Rea

Hello, I can't find a video on how to sew the makeup case....

Great video! Thank you.

So do you recommend grading before shortening or lengthening

Thanks so much! Such a great video. I am wondering, where did you get your mannequin?

Loved it!

thank you so much for this video - eye opener to me and it explains why the clothes i used to make never fitted properly !

Thank you for using a larger mannequin. I am learning to sew for myself because my body is 3 sizes - shoulder, waist and hips, and I need to stay positive and believing I can look good if I fit to my body. This is the best thing you could give me! Thanks!

Thank You! 4'11; 127 lbs. is Not fun to find clothes or patterns! Just coming back to sewing as I am so disgusted with finding clothes that fit! Also, at 67 yrs. of age, I don't want to learn to wear old lady clothes, yet younger styles just don't work anymore! Sad yet True!

I dont understand. what do you mean bucket with 3 parts water and 1 bleach?

Thank you so much. This is so helpful

This was the best and most helpful/informative online class. Thank you!

Basically called Tailoring So it fits your body like a glove

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out my first neckline. THIS is the video that made it click.

Great information and presentation! Question though on adjusting length above the waist. Should I take into consideration back waist length rather than just arbitrarily adding or subtracting evenly between sections? I used to sew clothes for my daughter when she was young and always had to add about 1-1/2” above the waist as she was long-waisted.

Thank you for this information! The reviews for these snap tools aren’t great on Amazon. I knew there had to be another way!

I just watched your video. It was very informative and really helped me understand fitting. Thank you so much.

Game changer!!! Love it🙏

Thank you for this. I am tallish, 5'8". When i have lengthened a pattern before i have never changed the sleeve, i didn't quite understand. Edit. I see , it is because it alters the armscye.

Hi. Thank you so much for this. You had a very clear explanation. I came back to sewing clothes in lockdown but still can't get the fit right. I am 5'8" with a small frame. Things are mostly too big at the top, even when using high bust measurement. I was wondering if lengthening like you showed puts the waist and full hip in a different position. This is what i find hard, knowing how one adjustment will affect something else. Thank you.

So very helpful!

Great video! You’re the first person that I’ve watched so with the collar on the bottom, which makes sense to me if you have to pull the fabric and you want to make sure there’s no puckers on the inside, which is larger than the collar for stretch fabric. I’m about to do my very first collar and I’m terrified!

The shorter length adjustment was so enlightening. As someone who is 5' dividing the difference between 2, or perhaps 3 locations on the pattern piece makes so much sense! Thank you!

Less background noise please

Thank you so much for sharing I so so appreciate that video ❤

Excellent Tutorial!

Thank you for this video! I would never been able to finish my Cecelia top without it.

Thank you so much Ashley for this video tutorial ❤

I sell pearl snaps on my etsy store and I have sent this video to many customers so they don't have to worry about purchasing any tools, thank you so much.

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌😊😍😍😍😍😍😍

You're an awesome teacher! I'm brand new to sewing and you've taught me so much in one video. Great explanations, I had no idea what to do with a pattern and now I feel confident doing this little project step by step. Thank you 🙏

This is so cute and this tutorial is SO helpful! Thank you for walking through every step of the process🙏I’m saving this for the skirts I have planned to make!

Such a cute skirt, I've been looking for a design with elastic in the back so this is perfect! I'm a little nervous about the buttons as I haven't done them in forever. Thanks for the video!

Thank you!! I don't have a serger, but this was so helpful. Especially as it's the only one I've found yet that said how WIDE to make the neckband! Thanks heaps. :)

Thank you for this brilliant tutorial. I’ve been getting so disheartened with sewing garments that do not fit well after all the effort and expense. Even your mannequin was a realistic shape. There is help out there! Thank you ❤

Thanks for the video. Just wondering what are the settings you use for your zig zag stitch. I’m very new to making swimwear and I find that mine tends to flatten seam and makes it wavy 😩

Great instructional video 😃👍🏼

This was a great class, thank you so much.

I have taken apart a favorite old flannel nightgown so I can use the pieces as patterns to sew a new one. But, I was confused as to how to recreate the half placket. I'll be using your easy to follow step by step instructions to complete my project. Thank you so much!

Love love love this! Thank you so much! Very helpful!

You are absolutely amazing! Thanks for your tutorials ❤

Good fabric
