Oh my goodness, this is the simplest instruction I have seen to resolve my forward shoulder issue!!! Thank you so much. It would be wonderful to learn adjustments for raglan and shoulder seams that are not on top of the shoulder as well. My bone goes about as forward as yours. Thank you again for the concise instruction.
Ohhhh my gooodness I have been struggling all week to get my sleeve correct thank you sooooooo much this is perfect I’ll try it. It’s so nice to find someone else with a severe forward shoulder 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Wendy, please let me know once you try this adjustment. I just did a fitting retreat a week ago with my customers. Everyone I did this forward shoulder adjustment for had a perfect fitting sleeve at the end.
Thank you for this video! Changing the sleeve cap this way has solved my problem of never having the sleeve cap fit properly. I have a “very forward shoulder”. I also have a small chest front measurement as well as rounded upper back. They were fitting fine but my sleeve caps never went in smoothly. I’ve always had to try resetting several times. You and Glenda are wonderful for my aging 78 year-old body. Love sewing, fitting, not so much😅!
Hi Joy. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I have had good feedback form ladies that tried tis adjustment. I would love to hear how it works for you.
I will be trying this on my new bodice sloper. This looks so easy; much easier than what I did in my previous sloper. Thank you for sharing Esabe. Mary D
Really excited to try this soon, thank you so much, Elsabe! I've done the one slicing above the front and back notches, but this looks much simpler. Thanks again!
What is the name of the tool you used in another video to measure the circumference of the arm hole? It looked kind of like a rotary cutter, but it measured accurately. Where can I purchase it? I am enjoying your videos, and I have learned so much. Thank you.❤
Hi Shannon, it is called a Curve Runner. I import it from America where it is manufactured. I have it in my online store for my South African customers. Google Curve Runner sewing and it should come up with the product. Hopefully you have someone in your area selling it as it is a very helpful tool to have
This is wonderful, one silly question. Where do we put the notch at the top of the sleeve cap that matches up with the shoulder seam? That is, does the original shoulder point remain the same?
Hi Sally, there is no seam allowance. When designing or making changes to patterns we work with the stitching line and then only add the seam allowance. When working with commercial patterns, I measure in from the cutting line and draw my stitching line before making changes. Just make sure what the seam allowance for that pattern is so that the stitch line you draw is correct.
Elsabe, would this still work if I had to move one shoulder seam forward as much as 1.25 inches? Both shoulders roll forward; my right so much more than the left. Thank you.
The most I’ve had to move forward is 3/4”. You will have to test it on your body and see what happens. Please come back and let me know how it works out
Hi Kati, I have just added subtitles to the video for the forward shoulder adjustment. My newest videos do have subtitles and I will slowly be updating my older videos with subtitles.

What a great explanation of compensating for a forward sloping shoulder on your sewing pattern!!! Thank you, Elsabe!

thank you Elsabe - back to drawing board for this adjustment
Hi Bev, I would love to hear how it works for you. See you soon for coffee
This is the first time I've ever seen the sleeve cap changed like you do it. I am so excited to try this.
Hi Joy. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I have had good feedback form ladies that tried tis adjustment. I would love to hear how it works for you.
This little gem is the best tip ever, thanks heaps, tried it straight away and it's the loveliest fit I've ever had. Many many thanks

Hey Elsabe great tutorial, I will be implementing this technique
in my workshops here in AU.
Hi Martha, Hope you are having a great time with your workshops in Perth

Hi Katie, let me know how it works for you.
Nice 👍 video
And you are also so beautiful
Wonderful lesson
Thank you for watching.
❤❤
This is brilliant! Does it work with tshirt patterns too? Or is it different for knit garments?
I use it for my t-shirts as well and it definitely sits better on my body
Does the center notch stay the the sleeve? I don’t think you addressed it?

@@ElsabeHurnFinally found it! I appreciate your help and thank you again.
This is wonderful, one silly question. Where do we put the notch at the top of the sleeve cap that matches up with the shoulder seam? That is, does the original shoulder point remain the same?
The notch that is originally marked on the cap moves forward when we shift the cap. You use that notch to line up with your new shoulder seam point.
@@ElsabeHurn I think I see it now, the original notch stays the same because it has moved forward with the cap. Thanks
How adjust the armhole and shoulders
Thank you! There is NO seam allowance included in your demonstration, correct?
Hi Sally, there is no seam allowance. When designing or making changes to patterns we work with the stitching line and then only add the seam allowance. When working with commercial patterns, I measure in from the cutting line and draw my stitching line before making changes. Just make sure what the seam allowance for that pattern is so that the stitch line you draw is correct.
Above comment not Gary, but Sarah. Must figure out how to change that.
Elsabe, would this still work if I had to move one shoulder seam forward as much as 1.25 inches? Both shoulders roll forward; my right so much more than the left. Thank you.

Please add add asubtitles for all languages 😢
Hi Kati, I am slowly going through the videos to add subtitles. I will try and get this one up later this week.
Hi Kati, I have just added subtitles to the video for the forward shoulder adjustment. My newest videos do have subtitles and I will slowly be updating my older videos with subtitles.
