'V' Shoulder point...No No No! How to fix your pattern by Sure-Fit Designs™

[@momzilla9491]

What a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more Vssssssssss for me! Hallelujah, now sang as; " I ver mec tin "

[@karenlindsay9884]

Thank you so much for this video! I have narrow shoulders and used my intuition to finagle and finesse my armscye and wasn't sure if I was doing it the hard way or botching it up, and to my surprise and relief, I did it the right way! I still learned two new things from this video: 1) Make the right angles before trying to sketch the curve , and 2) flip the designer stylus for a better curve (I forgot I could do that and was just inching along with a too tight curve---what a hassle that made to come back and draw in the seam allowance!) I always learn something from your videos. Thank you!!!

Karen Lindsay - thanks so much for your comments and feedback. It's great to hear that I've provided you with valuable tips.

A huge thank you for this fantastic informative video …I desperately need it …almost my exact measurement situation…every top that I’ve drafted and sewn has a wonky sleeve head and I simply did not understand how to correct it …I absolutely adore my sure fit design system…as someone else has stated it’s my self care it makes me happy …thank you again!

[@surefitdesigns]

Sosmom - Thanks for your comments and feedback. I'm so glad this system is working out so well for you.

[@rosemarybarrett7650]

You were describing my situation. Thank you for this clarification. It must be difficult to address all the variables of our bodies. Looking forward to learning more.💗

[@surefitdesigns]

Rosemary Barrett - You are most welcome...and yes, it is challenging to address the multitude of variables that can arise...but we try. :)

[@lexierandazzo4929]

Thanks for these instructions, very helpful

[@gerriebell2128]

I would like to know how to make a “dropped shoulder” top like what Glenda and the mannequin are wearing. I really like that style for summer.

[@IMOO1896]

This is me, full busted, but very short from neck to shoulder point., everything hangs off. Thanks so much for this tutorial.

[@surefitdesigns]

Sandi Newton - you are most welcome. I thought this topic might assist a lot of ladies!

[@dianakidd5688]

You had my attention, at “Narrow Shoulders”! These were very helpful tips, as I struggle with every garment I make due to my full bust & narrow shoulders. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the suggestions for this body type!

[@surefitdesigns]

Diana Kidd - thanks for your comments and feedback...always great to hear from you.

[@angelajackson6801]

I loved this explanation, so clearly put but what would I then do to the sleeve please?

[@surefitdesigns]

angela jackson - thanks so much for your feedback. Next week I'll talk about sleeves and how to modify the cap curve when needed. In the meantime, you can review this article - Sleeves and all Their Quirkiness - www.sfdlearningcenter.com/SleeveFacts.html

[@dianabryant702]

But how do you adjust the sleeves fit

[@marshasmith4300]

Thank you!

[@knitterliness]

Glenda, I am just finishing a college level pattern drafting course, and I want to thank you for the so-very-professional guidance and the Sure Fit Designs system. It's clear that you have the professional experience and expertise. You stand along among other pattern design systems in this respect. I would like to see more designs for knit fabrics, or if you have a list of your existing designs that work well with knits, please share that. Again, thank you!

[@surefitdesigns]

Roberta L Jones - thanks so much for your lovely comments and feedback...we do try to offer the highest quality of professionalism in all of our products. As for sewing with knit fabrics, we actually have quite a few Design and Sew Alongs in www.SureFitAcademy.com that use knits exclusively. And Elsabe (our S Africa distributor), just put up a maxi Dress Sew Along www.surefitacademysa.com/.

[@Karen-eb5sl]

Thank you for your demonstration it addressed the fitting problem with me. I have the greatest problem with what to do with the sleeve once you have made the adjustments. All the blouses I have made are sleeveless because I can't get the sleeve right.

[@surefitdesigns]

Karen - you are most welcome. Next Monday there will be another new video on addressing the sleeve cap and changes you might need to make on it. So stay tuned...more is coming.

[@catrintretau14]

This was very helpful, thank you Glenda! But l’m still struggeling with the modification of the sleeve to fit in my new armhole properly.

[@surefitdesigns]

Catrin Tretau - thanks so much for your feedback. Next week I'll talk about sleeves and how to modify the cap curve when needed. In the meantime, you can review this article - Sleeves and all Their Quirkiness - www.sfdlearningcenter.com/SleeveFacts.html

[@catrintretau14]

@@surefitdesigns , wonderful, I‘m looking forward to your tips about that. I‘ve already watched the mentioned video but I‘m not satisfied with my result yet

[@gerriebell2128]

This video is 2 years old. I looked on the website for the Curved T-square and cannot find it. Do you still sell it at all? Thank you.

[@janicek6399]

Very helpful, thank you

Janice K - you are most welcome. I'm happy to hear this was of benefit for you.

Shalom Komlavi - :) you are most welcome.

[@vintagegirl68]

It seems that all patterns are set up that the bigger the cup size, the larger/wider the shoulders. My shoulders are normal, but most patterns are too wide for my d cup. Thanks for showing this.

[@surefitdesigns]

vintage g - thanks so much for your feedback. Many patterns do this - just because you have a full bust, doesn't mean you have wide shoulders

[@muffintop6874]

I purchased the surefit design kits and was wondering how to draft a bustier pattern.

[@surefitdesigns]

muffin top - sorry we don't have any bustier pattern instructions.

[@cemiletor861]

Teşekkürler 🤗 Tüm videoların harika.

[@surefitdesigns]

Cemile Tor - Rica ederim. Videolarımızı beğendiğinizi ve onlardan bir şeyler öğrendiğinizi duyduğuma çok sevindim.

[@f1el6]

love it!! but...how to adjust the sleeve pattern?

[@surefitdesigns]

@hprxx - Here's the follow-up video on adjusting the sleeve if needed - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmPSgnyXjcmMfZI

[@Ohcarol912]

Why didn’t you use the other stylus for the larger bust. I thought it was recommended to use if over 43 inches 😊

[@surefitdesigns]

@Carol Clifton - the other Armscye template is encouraged for use between about 42" and 46", but the Stylus can be used in alternative positions to achieve similar results.

[@surefitdesigns]

@Carol clifton - I've been attempting to reply to your comment regarding the large upper arm - proof that Sure-Fit Designs will work for larger ladies...For some reason or other, your comment is not showing up in KZbin for that particular video, so I'm replying here. I don't have a model that suits those perameters that is why there aren't any photos. Quite often, larger ladies don't want their photos displayed so publicly. I have just checked our database and can't find that you are a customer (in the USA). If you ordered by phone that is why you wouldn't be there. However, if you purchased from one of our international distributors, please contact that person directly as we all offer email and virtual support for the system. It's up to you to take advantage of this support which is so freely offered. Kindly, Glenda Sparling - Sure-Fit Designs.

[@Ohcarol912]

Thank you for your answers very much appreciated. 😊

[@di552000]

Loved this tutorial,I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but when I try my sewed up muslim to see the fit i struggle to get out of it afterward...is it possible to have a 31/2 shoulder length or i measured myself wrong at the shoulder. Thank you for your help

[@surefitdesigns]

Diane Hotte - I'm so glad this information was of such benefit. thanks for your feedback. 3.5" shoulder line is pretty short. I'd guess you mis-measured. Put the bodice on and have someone take a photo. Email directly to me for a fit evaluation. Please see our photo guidelines on this page - surefitdesigns.com/pages/customer-service-commitment-support
