5a- Tip: How to take measurements and how to read Commercial Pattern Descriptions (1 of 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Hello, I'm Andrea of Sew-To-Fit, here I try and describe and explain the details as to Why Dress Fitting Starts with the Pattern Description and how it relates to our body, how it affect the length and hems in different styles we sew. I demonstrate on my body how to place the elastic on your body for proper analysis of fitting areas in relation to reviewing the pattern design against your body contours. Actual pattern descriptions are discussed and explained.
*Full explanation of the High waist, the midriff, the natural waist and the low waist/ high hip measurements.

I think this is one of the first videos I ever watched of yours. and loving them ever since!
This is super helpful. Seeing the measure on a real body is SO much better than a drawing or dress form.
Thanks so much Connie. So glad it helped.
You are Amazing! I finally understand how to fit a pattern properly for anyone. Thank you so much for all your effort, details and videos! I also love your personality and your daughter is so sweet to help you! God Bless from Colorado!
You are so welcome! Thank you very much!! My daughter is very happy to help.
that's a smart idea .... I never ever thought to measurements myself
Very interesting Andrea! Can't wait to see your part two…This is something I just recently had to do for myself and I want to make sure I did it correctly. It's really hard when you're by yourself!
+1SewSweet Hello Myra...the next video is up. Thanks for your support.

This is an amazing tutorial. Thank you for taking time to make this video. I'm curvy and a budding seamstress. I was so frustrated and still am just a little because the fitting books do not take my body type into account. Blessings to you for the new year.
This is the first video I watched and have been love watching your videos.
Charlotte Walker good deal Charlotte. Thanks for letting me know.
YAY thank you thank you thank you so much!!!! i have watched soooooooooo...oooo many videos and this explained so much to me! my daughter is a little bigger for her age (and oh so CUTE), but we have a hard time finding clothes to fit her. i made her a dress before and it was perfect. it was a long time ago when i made it and it took a lot of drafting. anyways, this video really help me to understand what kind of waist is best. and not just for her, but for me as well. i like the high-waisted dresses and now i know how/WHERE to measure that :)
Very informative, thank you
+Kae Patterson thanks Kae.
Hi Andrea. I have just discovered your videos and I love them! You give so much information in them which is great. I especially appreciate your references for us curvy girls. You will be the reason I get back into clothes sewing. Can you recommend a good body form for me to purchase, please?
You are very welcome Cynthia... I have padded up the Dritz form that you see in my video shots. This one is good for a plus size model along with padding I think you will acheive a really good sampling of your own size. amzn.to/2kok5l3
You are wonderful. very clear thank you
You are welcome.
I am getting back to sewing my own clothes, and haven't sewn after my last baby was born. My size has changed with a 50 pound weightloss, and I did not know how to buy the right size. The first post weightloss dress I made was way too big. I hadn't discovered your videos yet. Thanks for posting these videos. They have been a great help. I'm attempting my second dress and I can tell it's going to turn out this time.
That is very exciting Deb. I have a new skirt fitting live class this Saturday July 9th at 2pm central time. Please see my blog. www.sewtofit.com/2016/07/sew-to-fit-butt-workshop-open-now.html?m=1

Can you help me with my question for fitting my clothes to my pattern bc I have not one ding dang clue what I'm doing. I just know I want to sew my pants and dress to fit me. My problem has been the adjustments. I am a BBW so the pattern I have goes up to 20W through 28W. The highest measurements for Bust are 50 inches I'm a 51 1/2? Waist are 44" I am a 56"? Hip is 52" I am 57"? Back neck to waist goes up to 17 3/4" I am a 23? My question is , how do I adjust the measurements to fit me correctly? Praying I purchased enough fabric......

Hello! New Subbie and New Sewer. You are my body double. We have the same exact measurements. Will you PLEASE do a sew along with Vogue 8825 or Vogue 8945 (view B). Thank you :)
Hot...diggidy dog....I already did tissue fitting on the 8825.. You may be in luck. However, no sew-along. I will provide fitting tips. I have already made a pattern similar to 8945. Stay tuned.
YEAH! Thanks Ma! You are hilarious. :)
Are you using elastic?
+Kimberly Goodwin yes.
You have a beautiful shape. I'm not beautiful like that. I have extra weight on me. I'm losing some, but I have a larger natural waist than my normal waist and hips.
You’ll learn. Just take your time and be consistent.
You have an AWESOME figure ❤️❤️❤️. Perfect hourglass!
