Hi Susan, I found you about a week ago and I’m glad I did. As a former choreographer and student of art… at 63 I’m back to sewing and designing. Watching you work is like watching a choreographer. The lines, the flow of fabric, the inserting of new ideas… all while being aware of the center! So, I started at the very beginning and then jumped ahead… you have come into your own special being! Thank you for inspiring me to refresh memories and to get after creating designs again and se

How can I determine where my high hip level is and my full hip level? Thank you.

[@susaneliascouture]

You look at your body in the mirror and see where you are the fullest. Then measure there. High hip is anywhere from 3”to 5” down from the waist and the full hip is anywhere from 7” to 9” down from the waist. This is in general.

[@christinabarnes1105]

@@susaneliascouture thanks 😊

[@christinabarnes1105]

Why was your hip level no longer in the right spot? What happen.

[@susaneliascouture]

The angle of the pattern can change when adjusting it but you can always measure down for the high hip and full hip and establish a new hip line.

thank you again for your instructions, susan

what are those weights you have?

[@LillyWhiteowl]

Those weights are to hold down the pattern, sloper or toile in place while marking and pinning. I found mine on Amazon a while back
