Thank you, when I make the rounded back, it affects the bottom of my garment, any suggestions.

Thank you for such clear instructions!

I love your work, thank you for the time you put into educating us, you're so professional

This is probably what I’ve need all along. Can’t wait to try this!

This info was great. But how do I apply this to a yoke for a shirt that has already a section at the front and does not identify the shoulder line please.

Second method starts at 5:58

I have done this quite differently for decades: I never use the seam allowances shown in commercial patterns at all - I usually cut them off. I mark only the seamlines - that is what is important. then I cut adding the amount of seam allowance I feel appropriate, considering the fabric. Maybe it is crazy, but it helps me get a more accurate finish.

I'll test this adjustment. Thank you so much!

That was excellent. I can really see that even in planning something like your zipper width etc if your accompanying seam is the same it’s going to give a much neater finish. This presentation has made me realise I need to think a little bit more about each pattern piece and even the notions and how they build into the whole garment. I hope that makes senses 😂 Thanks so much Alexandra.

Brilliant. Thanks so much for such a clear tutorial about how to get the hem and side seam flush. Needed this 💖

I have Happy Tears in my eyes right now. For the longest time I have been trying to figure out how to adjust my shoulder straps to fit my narrow shoulders. Thank you so much for this easy explanation. My straps will no longer be falling off my shoulders. Subscribed!!

Thank you so much for this easy to understand video. When I was new to sewing (2021), I heavily altered a pants pattern to fit me and I thought it was fine. Now that my sewing skills have improved, I started noticing the area below the knee of my pants had a slight drag line going on when I walked. Following your guidelines, I found the true grainline and balanced my pattern. The previous inner and outer seams of my pants were horribly off grain and the sewing seams did not evenly match. Total mess😅! A lot of creators talk about how to alter a pattern but not many people stress the importance of balancing the pattern after the alterations are made. Anyway, I made a mockup using my balanced pattern and the pants fit me so well that I didn't want to take them off lol.

For this flard skirt waist band pattern please. Thanks

Hi, its very nice So, what about waist band pattern looks like ?????

It would have been very helpful to see the pants with the adjustments made.

Ty, this is exactly what I need 😊

Excellent video! Thank you

Thank you for this very easy to follow tutorial I wondered if you have one that shows us when the cup difference is 3 cups larger. I have a customer that has an E cup and the pattern is a B cup?

Thank u so much❤btw i don't know how to adjust back and front shoulder slope to be the same angle in order to draft ranglan sleeve ..

Excellent explanation, thank you!

Can you please show this in a 2D pattern correction? Thank you

If you have to go from a size 8 at the upper bust to a 10 at the full bust and it creates a gaping armhole, do I fix the gaping first and then decide if I need more width as well? The difference in my high and full bust is 2 1/2".

Thank you!

👍🙌

Brilliant 👏

In my experience back hip lines are always drawn at a slight angle. If they are completely straight across they will always come to some amount of "v" no? Trying to make them perfectly straight when drawn straight on the pattern was an endless fitting nightmare for me, until a pattern making friend told me they are actually drawn at a slight angle.

I am working on an oversized shirt and it appears that I need to do this adjustment by about 2cm. However when I do it the sleeve curve ends up about 1 cm larger overall than the shirt underarm curve. What is the best way of reducing the sleeve curve to still make it work? Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thanks for the video! I really like the second way of doing the adjustment. I have a pretty extreme forward head and need about three inches. Can I use the pattern adjustment for such an extreme adjustment?

These fitting issue corrections exactly address my problems. ❤ Now I am finally able to identify and name the alterations. I need the protruding shoulder blade adjustment, wide back and sloped shoulder. I get myself in a mess though as I try to fix them all at once. Are you able to give me an order in which to address these changes. 🙏

Thanks

شكرا الكسندرا على الشرح الواضح والمعلومات الجيدة

❤❤❤

I find a circumference measuring tape really helpful. Mine has a press snap and a slider which lands at the measurement you are taking.

This fabulous, THANK YOU 💜

This may be what I need, but I have to go and see if instead, I need an adjustment for prominent shoulder blades.

I appreciate the detail you provide in your videos. Your videos have enhanced my skills and I get the fit I am looking for. They are part of my reference library.

Ooo I like this method!

Wow brilliant!!!!

excellent demonstration. thank you

Thanks for the tutorial it was really helpful!

Hi Alexandra and thanks for this video. Do you recommend cutting into your first muslin (on person you're fitting), to determine the +/- amount of either of these alterations? I'm relatively new to your channel and don't know if you've already covered that in another video. Thanks much! 😊

I was just looking for this fox a few days ago ~ Luckily I set my pattern aside & now I know the best way to do this needed alteration. Thanks Alexandra!

Hi Alexandra, Omg, i have this exact problem and know now what to do; in addition I do have a rounded back, so should I do that correction as well? Lets say i need to do both rounded back and forward shoulder, which do i start with first? thank you

Hi Alexandria. Thank you for this and all your other videos. Is it possible to have 1) a forward head, 2) a forward shoulder, and 3) a rounded upper back? I think I have all three. any thoughs on how i would address this combination of issues/which one should I tackle first? I usually do the simple forward shoulder adjustment, occasionally do the round upper back adjustment but don't think that seems to work that well, and have never intentionally done a forward head adjustment, although I always will cut the front neckline lower if it's a high neck top. Thank you! (do you offer private consultations?)

My own fullness of the shoulder blade is actually lower down ( just above the base of the armhole) Can I still use this technique if I simply move the across back line down to where I need it & do everything else the same?

This is very helpful and timely for me. I'm working on an armscye princess seam bodice, both front and back. and have a few questions. The top of the princess seam comes into the armhole about 1.5 inches above the sleeve back notch. Is it possible to rotate this shoulder blade dart to the princess seam? If not, will it look odd to have both a princess seam and a shoulder dart on the back? My other issue is that only one of my shoulder blades is prominent. When using a shoulder dart, should I use the prominent shoulder blade dart on one side and a regular shoulder dart on the other, so the extra length is only added where needed and the back looks symmetrical? Thank you!

Thank you! Great info

Thank you!

Extremely helpful as that is the specific issue I have struggled with. Thank you!
