Low Armholes – Option 2 – Raising the Armhole (keeping the dart position before pinning)

In the previous video, we spoke about a quick fix for low armholes, which could be done after you’ve cut your fabric. This correction is done on the pattern for a more permanent pattern correction.

Pay attention to the dart/waist/princess line position before pinning. If you’re happy with it before pinning, this correction is for you.
.
1) Pin the across-front, sleeve, and across-back of your desired armhole position.
2) Measure the amount you’ve pinned.
3) Mark the armhole higher, the amount you measured.
4) Mark the reverse curve of the sleeve higher, the same amount.

A reminder to keep it balanced! Same amount front to back, assuming you started with a balanced pattern. 😆
