Fitting the Back of a Raglan - SB-R Fitopedia

[@lynettedaniels1236]

I’ve been watching the videos in your fitting series over and over. The information is so good. But last night I went to bed trying to figure out how to apply it to a raglan. And you have a video for it. I wish I could explain how helpful these have been. Thank you so very much!!

I’m so glad! They’re all in the PDF with links! All armholes!

[@lynettedaniels1236]

I absolutely need to get the pdfs!

I think I missed how to keep the back on the fold, but here it is on the raglan. Like a full bust adjustment-Genius! Thanks! I need to go back to see what I missed on the set-in(?) sleeve one.

Cool! All the adjustments at the beginning of the video will keep your pattern on the fold. At the end there is a dedicated adjustment for patterns with a center back seam.

so well explained. thank you

[@SewSewLive]

Glad it was helpful!

Coming across this video was looking like finding the Holy Grail to me as I have been searching for this adjustment for years. Thank you for your clear and considerate instructions. Looking forward to exploring your site.

Great to hear! There’s a playlist and a PDF! More to come. There are about 15 initial videos for different issues and pattern styles. Happy fitting!

Thank you! and I just noticed that autocorrect turned my "clear and concise" compliment into "clear and considerate" but I imagine you knew what I meant😊😊@@SewSewLive

This is a great tutorial, just what my poorly-fitting muslin needs! I especially need the high rounded-back adjustment and I have a question about that. Do I necessarily need to keep that new shoulder dart that’s created? I mean, there’s already a design line with the raglan sleeve and I really don’t want another “line” added to the neck area. Can I rotate that dart to the raglan line or will that not work? Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@SewSewLive]

You can certainly try rotating it and see what you think. It just depends upon where you needed that shaping to occur. I always love an experiment! And every person’s body is different. That being said, darts are so great for shaping and I doubt you’ll notice it after awhile! Especially if it gives you a nice fit!

Hi Seramy, I am so glad you made this video. I purchased your PDF when you promoted it and am finding all these videos very helpful. This one comes in a VERY timely fashion for me as I am making my hubby a zip front hoodie. He has worked at a computer for decades and has a VERY pronounced rounding in his mid and upper back. My question is, if I needed to make a substantial adjustment for this, would I do this neck 'dart' adjustment as well as the lower rounded back adjustment across his shoulder blades? Do I do one before the other to make sure I don't add in too much? Thanks again!

[@SewSewLive]

You can do both if he needs it. That’s completely fine. I wouldn’t do more than 5/8” at the high back. Put the rest in the lower one. Either way, a little bit will make a big impact! He’ll love it.

Seremy, very well done video. My question is on the first round back with the dart added at the neck, what if you don’t want a dart at the neck edge. ? Could you move that dart to the waist dart? Or is there another solution? Thanks

[@SewSewLive]

Yes! Another way to accomplish this is how I demonstrate it in the Princess Seams to the Shoulder video. (It’s out soon or if you have the pdf you can watch now). I think it’s the low back round/flat adjustment. Cb on fold (so probably the second tutorial).
