I have just found your 3 videos today and they are absolutely brilliant. I’m definitely going to give this a go this week. I’ve had my measurements and paper all ready but was just too scared to tackle this. I will replay your videos as I’m trying to do my own bodice block. Definitely the best videos I’ve come across on UA-cam that explain everything so well. Thank you so much. ❤☺️
Thank you so much for your reply. I shall do as you suggested and let you know how it works out. I am tired of 'perfect left sides of my tops, whilst the right sides are hopelessly lopsided. Trousers behave the same way, though I have more control over skirts. Thanks again!
Where did u get the initial block outline that u adapted? Is there a way of making a block from scratch with own measurements for bodice block or do u always use an existing block?
I only found your videos today and watched all 3 - repeat showings to come. My problem is a 'near-standard' left side, but a 2-3 cm lower right side. Should I draft separate left and right blocks or choose my left and adjust my right side to fit? Many thanks.
Hi Kerstin and thanks for your question 😁 I'm a huge fan of the path of least resistance! Which option gives you less work? If the difference in both sides involves a structural difference (changing length lines etc) then I'd probably create a full bodice block. If the changes are more 'cosmetic': moving dart apexes, taking it in/letting it out etc then I'd be more inclined to use a half block and alter the right side at the garment stage. Hope this helps! Let me know how you get on and if you have any other questions Xoxo
Thank you Fina, watched all 3 parts, brilliant. I just wanted to ask, once completed all these measurements do you then add seam allowance, or is that included?. Thank you. X
Great question Elaine 😁 These instructions are for a block- which don't have seam allowances. If you are adapting a pattern using this technique, my advice would be to remove the seam allowances first- ie cut them off, or at least draw them in so that they're super obvious- then carry out the changes, then put the seam allowances back on. Hope that helps 🥰

Let me know how it goes! The beauty of making things for yourself is that you'll be able to learn how to get a killer fit! Good luck 🥰🥰🥰

Do you follow the same steps for pants ?
