Get a Better Fit Before You Sew | How to Assess and Adjust Sewing Patterns for Your Body

Want to reduce fitting frustrations and save time on your next sewing project? In this video, Alexandra Morgan from In-House Patterns shows you how to assess a commercial sewing pattern before you cut any fabric—so you can make smart, informed pattern adjustments that lead to a better fit from the start.

You'll learn how to:
• Read sizing charts to anticipate fit issues
• Adjust length for your body proportions
• Calculate wearing ease using body and pattern measurements
• Use notches and design details to locate balance lines
• Make a basic cup size adjustment for a better bust fit
• Add shaping through pleats for seated comfort and personal ease preferences

This video features the Belle Blouse pattern, but the methods work with any commercial sewing pattern.
