Are you between SEVERAL SIZES on a PATTERN? Here's HOW to choose your size/sizes. CUSTOM FITTING.

Hello, friends! Welcome back to the “Let’s sew our best fitting woven top” series! This is the important episode where we talk all about our body circumferences and how to choose our size/sizes when our body measurements spans across several on a sewing pattern.

We will see practical examples for different patterns, brands and size charts. How do you choose your size and how does knowing the positive ease on a pattern help you? I'm sharing how.

I am not discussing full bust adjustments in this video. I suggest you choose a pattern that has an option close to your sewing bust cup size. FBAs an SBAs will come a little later in the series.

In the next episode we will see the nitty gritty on how to blend the pattern's lines and sizes. Also some badly fitting muslins :=

Patterns mentioned:

*Montrose top (Cashmerette Patterns) 12-32US

DISCLAIMER: I don't have a fabric sponsor. I produce sewing content independently from pattern brands and share my unique way of sewing with you, with my own investment of resources. I don’t necessarily follow instructions rigidly. My opinions are honest, especially around fit and sewing techniques.

Good information!! You are so right about our number in sizing, that does not say who we really are.

[janieoreilly]

What a gold mine of information to fit your garment better. It never occured to me to cut your pattern between sizes. That's a sewing game changer for me, since I frequently fall between sizes. Karina you're a sewist genius!!

[judykski]

You do such a super job explaining circumference fitting and the reasons behind it. So many sewists will get a lot out of your video lesson. Thank you!

[morning]

Thank you so much for the great teaching and your positive outlook! I gave up sewing clothing many years ago because it didn’t fit, but with your encouraging videos I think I will try again 🙂

[amandaann]

Thank you Karina. You are my absolute sewing world mentor. You somehow manage to make everything so clear and inspirational. Your work is very appreciated.

[sylviafielder]

Excellent instructional video. I just bought patterns and because I have lost weight I will have to grade sizes. What I learned today was ease of the pattern and how to choose your size. I have not seen in a number of years. I use to make bridal gowns and sew for others before. However, I was in a different size and Only bought big four patters. Thank you.

[sewgirl]

Your style of teaching for me as a visual learner is so easy to follow and understand. Thank you for the time you give to explain in such great detail. Excellent series.

[monikawidensky]

You are a natural teacher. Very good series. I am learning so much. Thank you so much.

[hjkennaugh]

Thank you Karina, Iwas really struggling with this subject and you have clarified it beautifully for me.

[dianneandres]

Another great tutorial! Thank you so much!

[lynnew]

Great video. It is very dispiriting when you go to buy, and either garments (dresses mainly) fit on the top but not the bottom or vice versa.
I am the most awkward shape - pear shaped - with a large difference between the top and the bottom measurements and end up wearing so many ‘baggy’ clothes. I’m really looking forward to your next video to show me how to deal with this. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[suesue]

So reassuring to hear you go through each pattern and how you choose based on your measurements. It makes it come to life. Thank you 💕🧵

[angelaallen]

I am hooked on your tutorials. You explain techniques very clearly. I just purchased the Rhapsody blouse and can't wait to start sewing...

[sandyerickson]

Once again, after so many years of sewing, you have made fitting so clear! Another excellent video!!

[aimster]

I just want to tell you how much I love your channel and how much your videos help me with my sewing. I always feel a lot more confident after watching, you've got a great teaching style!

[jwhitty]

Thank You. You help so so much, you are an inspiration.

[marie]

Hello. A confident beginner here👋. I have seen random videos from your channel and this sealed the deal for me. I have decided to subscribe because of this series. Thank you for this video. God bless!!

[noeleengayjess]

Thank You, Thank You. Love love your videos and I appreciate all the work you put into them. Sending a big hug in appreciation.

[dharmert]

Karina, thank you for great video again. I'm the garment size size I sew and don't care about the RTW sizes. It looks awful how some ladies try to press themselves into a specific garment size. 🙄🙄

[yvettefeyjoo-booth]

Love how you explain the sizes. Need to learn how to blend sizes since I am pear shaped and have a hard time with pants sewing patterns. Always short at the crotch and tight around my hips lol.
