I seriously was on the verge of tears because the pattern I bought turned out to be too small for me by two sizes. You've empowered me to make the pattern work for my body instead of trying to make my body work for the pattern. I looked everywhere after realizing the pattern was too small and couldn't find it in my size. It's like Simplicity thinks plus size women don't deserve cute costumes. I can't wait to get to the store tomorrow to pick up the few supplies I need to make this work for me.

Bless you for these clear instructions. I have a very large little girl (she wears the same shoe size as me and she's seven) who still has her little child (very round) belly but she is also very tall with broad shoulders and nothing from the store seems to fit her right. I cannot put her into stuff designed for much older kids as it is not appropriate for her age and she still wants little girl clothes despite her size. I used to sew a lot but haven't done much in at least fifteen years. I couldn't remember how to adjust sizing.

lol I did not realize a year ago I left a comment lol lol well one thing is for sure you know I really meant it lol Be Blessed once again. I was looking at these type of videos because I purchased a simplicity pattern and their size verses the correlated inches are not normal. ex. a woman that wears a size 28w is not typically a 44 inch waist. unless all your weight is I suppose below the waist line i.e. hip area and down. So, after spending 20.00 for a pattern I decided to refresh my memory so when I open the pattern if it doesn't fit I am going to change it instead of buying another size. Sorry this was so lengthy, but maybe it will help someone else to know. Again ty for your skill and time. Sonya

This is great thank you! I'm using an old pattern that has had the larger sizes trimmed off and I need to grade it up to one of the larger sizes again. One question, I have a piece where the difference between size 7 and 8 is 3/8' and between 8 and 10 is 6/8'. I'm increasing 2 sizes. how much do I need to increase for each size increment?

00000midori00000 do one size at a time. From 6-8 use the 3/8" and then for the 8-10 use the 6/8". That's a 1" grade and then a 1.5" grade. Read my blog post- www.sewtofit.com/2011/07/making-grade-matter-of-size.html?m=0

This helps me tremendously, I'm sure I'll be able to finish the project I'm working on now...a 50's vintage dress, a Simplicity pattern 1459 k5 I'm doing for a young lady as a costume. My problem was increasing the bust line from the size of the pattern which is a size 12. My first time doing a woman's dress, and it is a challenge but I know I can do it. Thanks!!!

Ooh, I'm so excited to do this! I bought a couple patterns that are one or two sizes too small, so this is perfect!! Thank you so much for making this easy; I'm a beginner in all things sewing and this will be so helpful in making my own clothes.

Wow, stitching for grandkids is so much fun. Those patterns miss the middle sizes as they grow. Thank you so much for the feedback.

Very Excellent video!!! Thank you!!! The best drafting/resizing video - I've been altering patterns since I started sewing for my own kids (they're over 30 now!) but you made it immensely easier and showed the tools needed- I never ever used a french curve!! I can relate to your counting out the measurments . . . . half a sixteenth!

Thank you so much for this video! My husband is a very difficult fit so I thought I'd try making his dress shirts instead of paying hundreds for a custom dress shirt. I purchased a pattern but I'm finding I have to make adjustments. I was at my wits end with I found this video! Thank you so much for the clear instructions!!!

Absolutely Wonderful Video! Thank You. I just received my 70’s Vintage Pattern for a super adorable Woman’s Overall and i realized that I definitely have to Grade up! A little intimidating for someone who just got started to Enter the World of Sewing and Designing, but because of your Video i feel very Confident. Very clear instructions with a very charming Vibe that gives you a “you can do it - Energy and a feeling of Ease. Thank You.
