- Two Methods to Correct Forward Head Posture in Your Sewing Patterns
Are you struggling with fitting issues caused by forward head posture?
In this video, we start by examining the impact of forward head posture, using clear visual examples from a chiropractic clinic. You’ll see a stark comparison between a standard straight posture and a forward head posture, highlighting the misalignment and its effects on body balance. To tackle this issue in your sewing patterns, we introduce two essential adjustment methods.
First Adjustment Method:
Raising the Back Neckline and Moving the Shoulder Seam Forward: Learn how to create slash lines on your pattern to adjust the back neckline and shoulder seam. This method ensures that the back neckline is raised, the shoulder seam is moved forward, and the front neck drop is lowered, maintaining balance and fit.
Sleeve Adjustment: Discover how to modify your sleeve pattern to accommodate the changes made to the armhole, ensuring a seamless fit.
Second Adjustment Method:
Adjusting the Neckline Without Changing the Shoulder Point: This method is perfect if the shoulder line position is correct, but the back neck is too low, and the front neck is too high. We guide you through creating slash lines to adjust the neckline slope without affecting the armhole.
Both methods are demonstrated with step-by-step instructions and visual aids, making it easy to follow along and apply these adjustments to your patterns. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, these techniques will enhance the fit of your garments and improve overall comfort.
Watch the video now to master these adjustments and elevate your sewing skills. Your beautifully fitting garments are just a few steps away.

Thank you for such clear instructions!
Have struggled following written instructions for this problem in the past, but now thanks to your video, it all makes sense 🥳. Thank you so much. X
Hi from England. I have this problem and this is the best solution that I have found. Thank you so much.
Very helpful and clear. I would love to see more videos on fitting issues. Thank you.
I've shared many on this channel! I hope you enjoy learning through the videos.
You explained this so well. I’ve always had the problem of store bought clothes “falling back” on my neck and constantly having to adjust my clothes. I crochet tops for myself and never like how they fit when I get done. I knew the adjustment was in the neck area and now I know how to fix it. Thank you.
Excellent explanation, thank you!
I always have to make a high round back adjustment but have never adjusted the front. I've tended to opt for a v neck as that is more comfortable. This technique looks like it might just be what I am looking for. Thank you Always enjoy your videos.
O always enjoy how well you explain fitting techniques! Thank you.
Excellent information presented perfectly!
Yes please, I do appreciate these teaching videos.
This info was great. But how do I apply this to a yoke for a shirt that has already a section at the front and does not identify the shoulder line please.
Thanks for these very clear instructions! But then how would I adjust the collar to fit the new neckline? I can see I would definitely have to adjust it for new shoulder points.
The collar will simply be altered based on the new neckline measurement if the neckline has changed. If the measurement hasn't changed, the notch positions may have, so always walk your patterns to ensure the adjoining pattern pieces will work with your altered pattern.
Thank you! I've been wanting to try this type of adjustment. My tops always ride back. I'm new to fitting and I wasn't sure if I needed to do a fba or something with the shoulders.
This looks like it might solve all my problems! Thank you! 🙏🏻 can you possibly do another video as to how to do this adjustment for a raglan sleeve shirt? And kimono sleeve, please?
Also do you think it’s possible that you only need to adjust the front and not the back? My shirts all seem to be way too long in the front but fit ok in the back .
@@irinagoundortseva2304 yes that is totally possible!
Thanks for the video! I really like the second way of doing the adjustment. I have a pretty extreme forward head and need about three inches. Can I use the pattern adjustment for such an extreme adjustment?
@@Ubjillin there may be other issues at play if the adjustment seems to be quite large.
How would I translate this to a raglan? My husband is built like this!!!!
You explain these adjustments like no other! Thank you! Would either of these adjustments solve a slightly rounded upper back or is that an entirely different adjustment?
@@donnaschindlbeck7457 you may need both in smaller amounts. A trial sample will help you decide.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with everyone. Question - is there an upper limit for the first adjustment? Could you do a full inch, for example?
@@YBM-kp4iv I think all adjustments can be “ as needed”. It sometimes there. Are several issues at play so always work from the neck down.
In method A, after you make the sleeve adjustment and redraw the grainline, does the sleeve cap notch now match the shoulder point? Or do you have to move it back to the centre grainline? Thanks for your great videos, Alexandra!
@@jeancollier2930 always walk the sleeve to determine the final notch positions. I have a video on that… I think it’s called “take a walk!
Hi Alexandra, Love this tutorial! Would this work in reverse for an ‘overly erect’ or ‘backward sitting’ neck? I always get horizontal wrinkles below the back neckline. I’ve been dealing with it by scooping out the neckline, but I’m wondering if it would be better to implement these changes (but subtract back length, etc..). Love your videos, please keep them coming!
@@marietremble9426 yes, you can do this in reverse for an erect posture.
