[@ruthwilliams3834]

Oh my! Glenda mentioned a woman using a walker and being hunched over. I use a walker and oh! My back is hunched over too...🤪 I forget I'm a senior citizen 😂 I'll have to adjust my pattern 👍 great video ❤

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Your videos are so well done - very comprehensive without being confusing. I love the detailed explanations and most of all how you show what the "consequences" are for any changes you may decide to make to a pattern. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge to improve our sewing and drafting skills.

Glenda, dear heart...........what you have contributed to those of us who love to sew and need so much instruction..........is beyond compare to any other seamstress I've watched and believe me, I think I'd made them all! Soooooo much appreciation and respect for you and your "sewing smarts!" God Bless and kiss Wes for me, ha! I can tell he's been there for you all the way. So wonderful.

[@surefitdesigns]

@DeeDee Steele - thank you so much for taking the time to express your thoughts and what a lovely compliment. You can tell we put a lot into our videos and live chats...many take our effort for granted. Your thoughtfulness has made my day. I shared your comment with Wes...he said hugs and kisses back...and yes, he has always been there for me, in fact he's been my biggest fan and supporter. We are going on 43 years and love him dearly.

Goodness. So many options to complete the modification for needed additional length. Glenda, terrific video. I have also begun to use this technique in my knitting, utilizing short rows. Works beautifully!

You are so welcome. Glad you watched!

[@phylliscampbell2325]

Is it better to do one of these options or to add the shoulder dart with length added? I guess I’m not sure when to use this and when to use the shoulder dart.

[@lindasheets813]

A lot of great ideas

[@surefitdesigns]

Thank you Linda Sheets...I'm glad this information was of benefit for you

[@nozizwefulela3403]

Thanks a lot. My fit problem is that my right shoulder pulls the shoulder seam to the front and my collars is never aligned. I constantly have to pull the garment from the back. Can I adjust only the affected side?

[@surefitdesigns]

Yes, you can choose to do an asymmetrical garment design for yourself so that your clothing fits you.

[@tobim4ever]

Thanks Glenda . I needed this. I would like to ask rather than closing the seam and having a seam at the back, is it okay to use a zip at the center back?

[@surefitdesigns]

@Tolu E - Thanks for your comment...yes you could put a center back zipper in if you haven't rounded the CB too much. The more rounded CB is, the more difficult it will be to insert a zipper.

[@lindahaverty2676]

Would there be a down side to (option 3) splitting the dart between neck and shoulder and easing in the extra rather than sewing a dart?

[@surefitdesigns]

@Linda Haverty - it all depends on how wide that dart will end up being. The smaller the dart, the more you could likely split the space over the neck edge and shoulder line and ease the extra space into the corresponding seam - but realize, you may not like the 'gathered' look of the easing. Just give this option a try and see if your like it.

[@SaliqaMag]

Well explained! Thank you 😍

[@surefitdesigns]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@fraukebodenstein107]

what adjustment can I make if the back shoulder seam moves forward

[@surefitdesigns]

Frauke Bodenstein - I responded to you in a personal email this morning. It's best if you send photos for a more accurate evaluation. But if you really need to move the shoulder seam backward, then it would be the opposite of moving it forward as shown in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn6lZ2SJbpWVmpI

[@naveenkaluthanthri7117]

Dear madam i am new for this subject. So could you please show how to measure bodice for portly guys. Specially center front measurement. Thank you.

[@debdamico9973]

Once the back seam is curved can you still use a zipper?

[@surefitdesigns]

Deb Damico - it would definitely make it more challenging to add CB zipper. The more curved it is the more likely you wouldn't want to.

[@ЕленаАлексеева-х6ч]

Спасибо !

[@bonniebonnie7149]

I think the woman who used a walker had osteoporosis compression fractures which cause the rounded back. She needed the Walker to keep her balance.

[@dimples7334]

Great info. ✝️✝️

[@surefitdesigns]

Thank you!

[@jeandodds656]

Too complicated. See Linda Lee’s simple and easy solution for round back fix.
