Jogger Measuring Tutorial- How To Get The PERFECT Fit!

[@tinawalker4188]

Hi, Diana! I love your videos! They are always very helpful. I have a question. What is exactly is the 2.75 that you subtracted from the knee to ankle measurement? Why 2.75? Where does that number come from? What does it represent? TIA

[@jameskarf]

Watching you figure out and make adjustments is SO helpful. I am 5’2” and always have to adjust for height. AND your bright personality shines through in all your videos.

This would be great if this was done before each sewalong. Very well explained. Cheers Mary

I love all your tutorials. I could watch all day. Iv just bought some Ellie and Mac patterns to try. Not sewn since I left school 40 years ago 😊. Now I’m on the search for fabric 😊

Great video. Question, should the side measurements run along the seam line?

[@patriciaharperbarnes1780]

Loved you showing how to measure yourself, very helpful Dianna!

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I’m so glad

[@louiserossi1860]

This video was soooo helpful! Thank you! Do you have any videos on any of your tops for how to adjust them? If not maybe an idea to make one?? Hint, Hint. I love watching your videos!

[@staceyorourke880]

Did you make your tshirt? I like the cut and am wondering if it is a EAM pattern.

[@clovisperkins7138]

Thanks for the information.

[@annchambers8035]

With all these measurements - do you have to account for crotch seam allowance and hem allowance?

[@artisticrabbitatease2806]

Dianna: You explained it well. Thank you.

Is there a video on making a full calf adjustment in a straight fit jogger?

[@katesterling8915]

Brilliant. Thank you, great help 👌👍😁

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I’m so glad it helped!

[@lunasmum6869]

I'm a bit confused. What about the size of the thighs? I know one chooses the size according to the waist and hips and you are fitting only the length here but I always find patterns are too skimpy on the thigh for me! I'm never sure how to adjust for this.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Yes, there is also a chart in the pattern to measure yourself and when you do, you can grade between sizes to achieve your perfect fit ❤️ we do have a video on grading that might be super helpful!

[@msramona60]

I like the shirt. Thank you for the helpful video.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you so much!

Your welcome ❤️

[@tammyaltic2254]

Diana, I don’t understand how your coming up with your upper and lower inseam deduction or increase how are you coming up with these measurements please do I will understand? Thank you so much. Tammy

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Hi Tammy. We have a worksheet that has formulas for the leg sections so you can get it just right. The information on the sheet in the jogger pattern shows you exactly what to do and has spots for you to enter your measurements. I hope this helps.

[@barbwickland6066]

I noticed your pattern number is 2019, but mine is 2021. Is there a difference?

[@bettyjackson9593]

🙌thank you

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Thank you so much for watching

[@kaninajames9633]

I'm very short waisted. Even low rise pants go over by belly button. How would I figure out how much to remove at the first adjustment line? I'm guessing that 3/4 isn't going to be enough for me. Other than that, you and I measure the same size.

[@carolhughes312]

Why do you debuct 2.75 from the lower inseam?

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Hi. This is because we are taking off the ankle cuff height (minus seam allowance).

[@keeleypowell6121]

How do these differ in fit from your Good Vibe Jogger Pattern? I see that the Straight Fit Joggers are described as being designed for a male body, but they look really cute on you.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

These have a dropped crotch of about 2”, they are longer, but there is a height adjustment worksheet to help you adjust them to your specific body/leg length.

[@TxHoneybee01]

I didn’t understand why if you measured 14” from the crotch to knee bend, then you subtract 2”. Where does the -2” come from? Thanks.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

I subtracted the length of the cuff that I will be adding ❤️

[@kaffjones8710]

Hi, I followed the instructions and now my joggers are way too short!

[@terrinow]

All the corrections in your math and writing when explaining the numbers was confusing. I wish you had just stopped the video and got a new piece of paper and did it correctly. It didn’t make sense. Normally, I love your videos but this one could’ve been better prepared. Sorry.
