Broad and Narrow Back Adjustment

[@vivenna]

Amazing timeless tutorial: clear, on point yet detailed enough, incredibly helpful!

[@TheFrenchSiana]

Quick and clear, the best kind of tutorials! Thanks so much for this

I know this video is very old. I was watching for the narrow back adjustment but it isn’t in the video. I have broad shoulders and a narrow back so it always looks like I’m swimming in fabric from the mid to lower back.

I also was disappointed that the narrow back adjustment was not demonstrated.

This is exactly the fix I was looking for! Thanks again Alexandra, for another spot on video!

[@heideray7343]

The best tutorials I have found! You make it so easy to understand! Thank you!!!

[@lyndaleekorn1408]

Thx so much for this explanation. This is just what I needed. I'm a senior. We get broader in the back as we get older.

[@sarahlocke5335]

Brilliant!! This is what I've been trying to figure out for ages now! Thanks for posting it! :)

Thank you so much for this video, you have explained things so clearly and well ! I am a novice clothing sewer and I am confident now to go try to adjust my ill fitting pattern :) Thanks !

You're welcome! I'm happy to help!

Great tutorial, thanks! I am pattern testing a coat right now and I can't tell if I should stay in the same size (first fit version was waaaay too tight at shoulders and all else was good) and just do a broad back adjustment, OR, jump up to a bigger size. My upper bust measurement and shoulder measurement are several sizes different. 😆 Anyone who wants to chime in, I'm all ears!!😄

[@Irishgirl41]

Thank you so much!! I have such a hard time finding coats and coat patterns that fit my shoulders and my arms. Now I get to go back in to adjust my patterns, I can’t wait to try it again

[@AlexandraMorganInHousePatterns]

That's awesome! I'm so glad!

Thank you for this video! My tunic pattern fit nicely across the front but the upper back felt tight. I'm going to sew up another muslin to see if I did this correctly.

[@RomiW]

Wooww!!! You are brilliant! Thanks a lot! 😊💖

[@t4mel]

So clear! Thank you so much.

[@periwinklebutterfly]

Thank you for this! This was very helpful. I have noticed that when I get a good fit on a pattern, the back is tight when I reach forward. I think this is my issue!

[@periwinklebutterfly]

Also, I might have missed it, but does your piece include seam allowance?

[@schap562]

My pattern back across measurements 8 1/4 which is 16 1/2. I need it to be 19 1/2. I need to add 3 inches. Do I do it the same way because it a big amount to add.

[@takyiwah2022]

You didn’t show for a narrow back :(

[@rosieoakes5545]

Thanks for this tutorial, I have a weird combination of narrow shoulders and a broad back, should I do a narrow shoulder adjustment before a broad back adjustment on a bodice pattern?

[@Mysicalgreenunicorn03]

This is amazing, you are amazing thank you.

[@jodicargill8989]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you

[@lydiaevans7019]

So helpful…thank you!

[@caroldianewollman4732]

How I would wish u were near to help me fine tune my blouse pattern. What to u is a mole hill is too me a mountain.

[@Sawsan351]

thank you, this is so helpful

[@robynjury4403]

Hi - thanks so much for this, I've realized this is the adjustment that I need. I just have a question. If I am making a coat with a back yoke (ellesworth coat) - do I stick these pieces together minus seam allowance and treat it as a single back piece when working out the adjustment? And then transfer the changes to the individual pieces? Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials, I have just subscribed & looking forward to your other tutorials. Thanks for such clear and generous sharing of your knowledge.

[@AlexandraMorganInHousePatterns]

Robyn Jury yes, that will work!

[@gaildulay6494]

After making this adjustment IS THERE ANY NEED TO ALTER THE SLEEVE in anyway?
