Must - have sewing secret to minimise back rolls at bra line when sewing a fitted stretch top

#sewingsecrets #sewingtipsandtricks #sewinghacks
This sewing tip is to minimise the back bulges that show on our tops sewn with those soft stretch fabrics. We will always get a better look when wearing shapewear, but with our hot weather in South Africa I am not a shapewear kind of girl. So I use this method for a smoother look on my back.

Very interesting. My back bra area is actually ONE area my body does not have lumps. LOL. I always love to learn new fitting tips, and you are a marvelous teacher.

[@annazann7236]

It is one of the most useful techniques ever. Brilliant solution! Thanks a lot.

[@gillianwhaites5974]

My lumps and fatty bumps are something I’ve learned to ignore! For special outfits, your idea is great. Thanks for sharing Elsabe.

[@ljwilliams755]

what an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing

[@MarynKing-k6w]

Once again my friend you the best dressmaking teacher xxx God bless you

[@misha9179]

Thank you for this tip! Sounds like I could even use power mesh with this skill. Do you have tips for woven fabric to cascade on the body as well without it being box to prevent roll bunching?

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Awesome! I will be using this method on my next long sleeve knit shirt.

[@sandyheller5438]

[@ec9976]

Thank you for a super tutorial Elsabe! Very helpful!

[@Luxxen101]

AWESOME !

[@AlyC-dk6rm]

Thank you for this - so interesting and inspiring. I'm definitely going to give this a try. Question - would this be a suitable technique to use to incorporate a built-in underslip into a jersey knit dress?

[@marthabohnen115]

Very clever,just found your video's. Good job.

[@ElsabeHurn]

Thank you for watching, I appreciate it so much.

[@dianeedelman1287]

What a great idea! Thank you.

[@Monga_Makes_Things]

Very clever solution! Will this help with bulges at the side seam as well?

[@ElsabeHurn]

I have only used this to minimise the look over the bra area. I am not sure if this will work with side bseam problems. You will have to experiment with this technique to see if you can make it work.

[@daisyrose8412]

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for this technique.

[@lynncharlton8824]

This is great thanks Elsabe

[@granjan252]

Thanks, Elsabe. This is a very useful tip!!

[@ElsabeHurn]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate it so much

[@annemariealexa9195]

Great idea. What fabric is used for the inner lining?

[@koalasez1200]

Magic!! Thank you ❤

[@loriprouhet1558]

Love this idea Elsabe! Thank you!

[@ElsabeHurn]

Thank you for watching. Let me know how it works for you.

[@ozicats]

Thank you. Great tip and one I will definitely try. The back shoulder seam does end up 1cm longer. Is this solved by the stretch when joining to the original front shoulder which will be 1cm shorter?

[@ElsabeHurn]

When basting the false back to outer back the shoulder seam of the false back gets stretched to fit the outer back shoulder seam. This already brings that shoulder seam of the outer back in quite a bit. If there is a slight difference then between front and back you just give the longer seam a slight pull. It is minimal and does not affect your shoulder seam.

[@ozicats]

@@ElsabeHurn Thank you. Makes sense.

[@deliseburrus7631]

Cannot wait to try it.

[@JosieStev]

Thank you for this fitting technique. What is the pattern in the upper right? 😊

[@colleentucker3595]

Thanks Elsabe!

[@alexandrarawson9652]

Fantastic, am going to try it. Have subscribed! 🤩

[@ElsabeHurn]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lindak8664]

Thats a great solution! Back bra boobs, i call them, lol. I try to adjust where my strap sits but over the course of the day it manages to reposition itself into the least flattering place. Definitely going to try this. Thank you!

[@dcwatashi]

I knew you looked familiar. You’re one of Glenda‘s prodigy’s. I miss her. I think I’ll send her an email. Anyway, I need to get back into making my own clothes instead of making quilts and potholders and table runners . Interesting concept I thought maybe we just make the original garment a little bit bigger

[@SusanHealy-r3l]

Great idea 🙂

[@ElsabeHurn]

Thank you for watching, I appreciate it so much

[@SewingDee]

Great tip but I don’t fully understand where Elsabe is measuring down to in the beginning. Is it from the shoulder to the top of the back bra strap or to the bottom of the bra strap - all she says is “don’t stop there!” Can anyone explain exactly where she’s measuring down to please?

[@ElsabeHurn]

Hi, you measure to below your bra strap. You want the false back to cover your bra .

[@thistree9028]

Thank you! Never saw this before. Makes sense too. I do appreciate the way you explain things and enjoy your videos. I’ve a question..Could this somehow be used with a light or thin Jersey knit t shirt that has less stretch to it ? If so, what do you think would be the minimal amount of stretch fabric to be able to use this alteration on? Or does it have to be 100% stretch fabric?

[@SewingDee]

@@ElsabeHurn thank you so much fr responding Elsabe, that makes sense. I’ll give it a go.

[@ElsabeHurn]

@@thistree9028 you should be able to use this technique, as long as there is stretch. It is a small amount that is added to the pattern for the outer piece. I am going to experiment with this technique a bit more and create a video with feedback. It will only be in about 3 weeks time as I am away from Friday until 4 May.
