@@MadetoSew Aneka could this technique be used on men and young men and young Boys yes or no my message to you have a wonderful Tuesday From Canada #YSW Domenico Monteleone
Ha Ha. I thought the same thing & laughed when I scrolled down into the comments. It must be a little uncomfortable being in such a snug outfit getting measured in front of potentially hundreds of people; although she has a very nice figure.
Ugh, finally! This is the first thing I've come across (after, well, a *lot* of searching) that actually helped me take accurate measurements. You're an angel! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your amazing tutorials and helpful tips! I learned so much! And the best part is, that I do not need to go to some classes and sit hours there...I can just sew along and on my pace, which is perfect for me! Keep up the great work!
Another great video Aneka. You really are the best at getting all necessary information across so clearly without making anyone feeling foolish for not knowing something. I have learnt so much from you and I know that I am one of the very fortunate people that has been to your classes and private lessons. Great work. Anna
Great video, and thanks Becky for putting yourself out there! You were an excellent model and I wish I had your figure, but it's a long time and three children since I came anywhere close! 🤣
If it wasn't for Becky we would be learning by a mannequin. Aneka, thank you so much for your educational tutorial! All these years I have been measuring my hips wrong, and probably everything else, lol. Excellent video. Thanks to both of you!
I love this video Aneka. As I have mentioned before your instructions are so clear and concise. I read through all the comments on Becky and while I laughed along at the good natured humour at poor Becky's expense I think she was a brilliant model for your measurement instructions and behaved like a perfect dressmaker's mannequin..........and she is beautiful to look at! Thank you for this great lesson. Marion from South Australia 🥰
Thank you for such a kind review Marion. And for supporting Becky. Luckily she is happy to laugh at herself, so she does join in. She was a perfect model for me and just what I needed. Thank you. Aneka x
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been sewing for many years and never thought to measure the biceps. I am making an outfit for a friends daughter and needed to make sure I measured correctly. I did, & I learned something new. Thank you. ❤
When it comes to teaching, you are my favourite. Such clear precise explanation. As I am English too your accent is easy on the ears. Don't get me wrong I love the Americans too, they often bring a homeliness to their videos, but when I just get on with learning techniques and so forth, your the one. Thank you. As I'm just starting out, this one is is essential for me. Please keep them coming.

Hi Malcolm, this comment made my friendship group chuckle! Poor Becky has been teased for her expression since her husband found this video! She say's she will know what to do next time! Aneka :-))
I want to see a video tutorial how to draft a basic bodice pattern using your own body measurements step by step showing what measurements are drawn where in inches.
@@MadetoSew Mam, when will you show this tutorial???? I want to learn darts and princess cut from you, on my body measuremnets 😍😍 please make tutorials
@@reetk852 I am currently planning this for my online classes on my website. I have just launched the how to draft a skirt block class. I might do something smaller/shorter for UA-cam. Aneka x
So helpful. Today my 14 year old grandaughter will watch this! Could you also address measurements that would affect alterations rather than pattern purchase, such as 'tummy' or upper hip, neck to shoulder, arm length and leg length?
How lovely. I do hope she enjoys to sew too! :-)). Great idea, I had thought about doing adjustment videos, show how to measure and then solve the problem. Aneka
The "how to measure yourself" part wasn't very useful as to how I'd measure my own back length, shoulder width, etc. However, still my favorite channel!
Hi Nada, thank you so much. I plan to do another more detailed tutorial, I just wanted to make a quick tutorial that did only the basic measurements to make a dressmaking pattern. I promise I have a more detailed one coming. Aneka x
Thanku sister....it was really helpful. Great work.. and ur frnd she is standing so still and that's a sign of good model she did her work so perfectly and u too ...thanku once again
I am almost 15 and my wish is to learn how to sew. I’v started like a day ago and it’s really hard... but I’ m not gonna give up. My dream is to create and design my own clothes and myb one day become a fashion designer... Now I’m practicing with my sewing mashine and I am watching your videos. Tommorow will be my secend day of sewing.. I hope that with a practice I will be able to sew my own clothes and become designer. I am from Croatia BTW.
wow great video Thanks becky for being a great model 👏🏻 strange though that my instructor actually pressed that for the hip measurement you have to leave around four fingers space to accommodate for sitting differences 🤔
Thank you. Yes, everyone does this differently. I have always worked with exact body measurements and then I add the ease I want depending on the pattern and person and fabric. Hope that helps?
Hi Nikki, it should be the very end of the tape measure where the metal part begins. As from the end of the metal part to 1cm should be from 0cm to 1cm. Does that make sense? Aneka
What am I doing wrong?? Bought a measuring tape at Joanns, my waist measurement says that I'm a 36, but my perfect pair of jeans Levis/Madewell are 28... what's wrong why is the size soooo off, I've tried wearing the size my waist says but those jeans are super large on me.
This is such a good question and it's for a number of reasons. Firstly vanity sizing, garment sizing is not very accurate these days, companies want us to buy their products so that they make us feel good by making garments larger and keeping the size the same! I also wonder how this differs from European sizing to USA sizing for example a US 8 is a UK 12, I don't know whether this happens in denim sizing too? I actually have a funny story about a customer who came to an in-person class with me. Made a skirt and then called me complaining; she said that I took her measurements wrong because she always buys X size in the shop and her 'real measurements' were bigger than this! I offered for her to come back and I would re-measure her, she was seriously shocked that the measurements I took were accurate, her words "I didn't realise I had put on weight, I have always worn the same size!' Vanity sizing is a big issue and you will find this changes from brand to brand; one store you might be a 26, another a 28 and another one a 30! It will also depend on the cut of the jeans, if the jeans sit lower than you waist then it might be that you need to buy this smaller size for the jeans to fit your hips (high hip and low hip). You may simply have a straighter figure through the waist, than what the 'fit model' they designed the jeans for has. Does that make sense? Another aspect is the stretch of jeans. Obviously different denim has a different proportion of stretch and again you will find this differs between cut (style) and brand. Sorry this turned into an essay, but I hope it helped? Basically you aren't doing anything wrong! Aneka x
@@MadetoSew Thank you, this was very helpful and educational, made perfect sense. I will start to look for clothes in the measurements I took... we will see if I truly can find a brand that is true to my size.
Hello, do you mean that your widest part is higher than your bottom? I would measure around the fullest part of your bottom first. Once you have done this is the high hip (halfway between waist and hip), the largest part? Aneka
Pleasure Alisha, sorry I didn't cover the shoulder in the tutorial. For an accurate shoulder measurement you will want to measure from where the neck meets the shoulder (where you would wear a necklace). To the end of the shoulder. This isn't the end of the shoulder but if you follow your collar bone out to the shoulder there is a bone at the end, this should be in line with your armpit. That is where you measure the end of the shoulder. Does that make sense? Aneka :-))
Thank you Becky and Aneka. I learned so much in less than ten minutes! Im definitely more confident to staty my first clothing project!! How can I give $ to ypur channel?
