Your videos were always Phenominal! Glad you got to retire, but miss your great tutorials, like this.
Giving us the picture of what is happening, and what the goal solution looks like is SO extremely helpful! So many people just jump in and start showing the pattern and the adjustments and that really doesn't help very much. Love the channel.
Vic Gentry - thanks so much for your comments and feedback. Always appreciated.
Thanks for this. So simple and well presented. Hi from Kingston, Jamaica! 🙂
@Sandimcp - Your comments are much appreciated.
This is such a wonderful tutorial! ❤
Thank you for this! It is exactly the adjustment I need to make; I was re-establishing the grainline incorrectly when I tried the first time. So glad I found your video; I really appreciate the thoroughness.
Nancy S. Thanks for your feedback - customer comments are always greatly appreciated.
You are amazing!!! I stopped wearing skirts due to my butt always tilting the skirt up thus making it shorter. I am 5'10 so I need all the length I can get. :D I assumed when I start sewing I wouldn't have that problem but I did. I had almost given up until I came across this video. I am going to try again. Thank you for your extremely concise and simple video.
You are most welcome!
Great tutorial Glenda - Thank you.
Thanks Glenda! Was working on a skirt for my girlfriend and was clear on the slash and spread, but needed clarification on Trueing and the grain management. This video was perfect. Making a second muslin today.
Corey Miller - thanks for your comment/feedback. The grainline is likely best being parallel to CB.
this I think is what I might need. Will see when I make my tester skirt. I love Sure Fit Designs. The best.
Thank you for this super easy to understand tutorial! I can't wait to finally wear skirts that fit me properly!

I love your vidios
Thank you for this! My brain was stuck on how to get this done, but now I’m clear.
You are most welcome. I'm happy to hear the information was of such benefit for you.
So smart
thanks this worked for me!
Caraid - you are most welcome. I’m glad it was of benefit.
Thank you so much for sharing that adjustment video. It was very helpful in the drafting of my skirt. Also, I'd like to know, if I live in the Caribbean, would I have to pay for delivery if I do sign up to your website? Please inform me it it would be so. Thanks again, I enjoyed it very much.
Smart lady❤
Great vid
thanks
Just found your videos, very helpful, thank you! Does the order of adjustments matter? Should you do a sway back adjustment or the large backside adjustment first?
@momtomtse - I'm glad the information was helpful. I'd likely do the sway back first and then the large backside adjustment.
Where did you purchase the ruler with the handle on it?
Hello, I don't have any tightness around muy derriere, on the contrary I have horizontal folds perching on the end of may derriere, how could I fix this problem?
Great video. Do you also have to alter the front pattern by making it longer? I altered the back pattern as you instructed but I might have done it wrong because the back pattern is now longer than the front pattern. Thanks.
Pelau445 - the whole purpose of this tutorial - to accommodate a large backside - is only dealing with the back of the skirt. Yes, it will make the back longer, that is the purpose of this...so that when you have the skirt on and over your full backside, you buttocks will now lift the hem to be level. So the back should be longer than the front, but your buttocks is supposed to need this extra length. If when you put the skirt on the back is a lot longer than the front, perhaps you didn't need this alteration or perhaps you made too much of an opening at center back of your skirt.
@@surefitdesigns Thank you so much for your reply. Your video is the best and well taught tutorial for this technique.
Hey mom thanks!!👌👌this can applicable for trouser too??
@Busine Songoro - You are welcome. Yes, this process can be used on trousers too.
I you do an extension on the bottom area for a skirt pattern, is it possible to the same on a pants pattern?
I'm wondering the same thing
If I put on a ready-made skirt, and the back hem is, say, 2 inches higher than the front, would adding 2 inches to the alteration gap be a good place to start? Or more or less? Ithink this video will change my (sewing, comfort and confidence) life! Thanks from Eugene, Oregon.
Hi Gwen, yes, adding 2" as shown in this video would be a good place to start. (you know, Sure-Fit Designs is headquartered in Eugene, OR)
@@surefitdesigns I need to add 3 1/4 inches. It looks weird. Will this work? Thank you.
Hi Glenda, Great video as usual. Alternatively, couldn't I just add the extra length needed for around the but to the hem line and have 2 different size hems for the front and back. I've tried this method but by adding 1 1/2 inches to the hip line, it has shifted the waist line forwards towards the side and I am not able to true up the new center back line because of the 1 1/2 inches I have added. Please Help.
This process shown maintains a level grainline for the hem, which is the best process. Please give this a try.
@@surefitdesigns Thanks , I will try again. Keep up the good work!!
If my measurement is 14” from waist to hem in back, and it is 12” in front. Do I make my hip line adjustment to the back pattern and then remeasure from center waist to hem in back to = 14”? I would be shortening the hemline of the original back pattern after the adjustment? My front and back pattern start out the same length but the back needs to be longer to accommodate the extra bum bump. Thank you for your help.
I want to do this adjustment to a basic body block, shoulder to hip. To make both the waist and center back perpendicular, can I just add length to the center back, with the hem line at an angle?
Kirie Himuro - no...the hem need to be horizontal to the grainline. Don't leave it at an angle. This tune-up is best suited for skirts only, or dresses with a waistline seam.
@@surefitdesigns Thank you for your response. After drafting the pieces separately, I discovered I needed a sway back adjustment instead. I’ll watch your tutorial. 😁
is this for when my skirt rides up in the back ? I am not sure if my butt is causing the riding or my tummy fat. The skirt feels comfortable around my mid section but it's still riding. Can you give me a tip or comment please.
Have a look at the side seams - that might help you see what is going on. If you still can't tell, make a muslin (practice version of garment), then slash it to create the full derriere adjustment, and see if it fixes your problem.
O
How to calculate the amount of adjustment when you are working alone?
P Woolard - when you're by yourself it is definitely a little harder to do. Maybe tie a narrow elastic around your low hip level. Check in the mirror that the elastic is level with the floor. Then measure from the waist to the elastic on front and back. This will help give you an idea of much higher one side is to the other.
My skirt be up in back and down in the front!
The video was very good but how would one know how much to slash and spread according to the height of their buttocks ?
@Kimy Ramsingh - Thanks for your feedback. You might ask someone to help you. Take a measurement from the fullest part of the buttocks to your waist. That is where you'd begin slashing and spreading the pattern.
seems no more answers from glenda!!
Thank you.i have a big butt,will try.
Glad this video was of benefit to you. Keep trying and keep watching!
