<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then you'll need to do a <b>Sleeve Width Adjustment </b>to your pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In this tutorial I'll be showing you how to add extra cm's to your sleeve width without adding extra to the sleeve head.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, let's get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>First of all you need to take an arm girth measurement. This is around the fullest part of your upper arm near your armpit. Then you'll need to measure the sleeve width minus the seam allowances on each side. Write these 2 measurements down.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1 - Rule a line down the centre of the sleeve. This line should be at right angles to the hem line.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWCM_3zvrgd_-zjd6k4tcmcLwA-jPbD_RSdzk4UgoWYub9JZXGcS5H0on172MgS_k5uFYJsQ0WLZiqWYeeVOwmracxnFZ1jxS6Z06xr7SJUfLdE3KtI4Y2UOY-cXwcZe6hQ-FG6epRsw/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-SLEEVE+ALTERATION-BROOKE+LANE-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWCM_3zvrgd_-zjd6k4tcmcLwA-jPbD_RSdzk4UgoWYub9JZXGcS5H0on172MgS_k5uFYJsQ0WLZiqWYeeVOwmracxnFZ1jxS6Z06xr7SJUfLdE3KtI4Y2UOY-cXwcZe6hQ-FG6epRsw/s400/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-SLEEVE+ALTERATION-BROOKE+LANE-01.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2 - Now pivot the sleeve open at the hem line by the amount your want to increase the width by (red line). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this case Brookes' arm measurement is 34cm + 2cm easing so that makes it 36cm. The sleeve patten measurement is 32.5cm. So 36 - 32.5 = 3.5. You we spread the sleeve hem by 3.5cm. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3 - All you need to do now is to re-draw your new hem line and also curve the sleeve head up about 6mm/1/4" to give it a better curve (green line). Place some paper under your pattern and tape in place.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Your alteration is done. But please, with any pattern adjustment, make up a Toile (pronounced Twarl - meaning Mock Up or Sample) just to double check it fits.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If so, your neckline and shoulders are too wide and you need to do an <b>Across Chest & Across Back Adjustmen</b>t to your pattern.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In this tutorial I'll show you how you can make your bodice pattern fit better at the shoulder line.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Let's get started!</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1 - First of all work out how much you want to move your your neckline and shoulders in. eg. the above image needs to move over 2.5cm/1".</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rule a line at right angles to the CF line. (5cm/2" down from the neckline)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTkMobuL6tn2cF97Xa0Gs5V-HV2S22p7Wzw9CJM52Tsb6hn2AmqIrPDAi9K2jI3YH2UB4e19rH8wn6tEyxVGPls37NSnCgFAOSBiSmmjtuiImBTbPG-ybGggtYWb8Zd28AGF7CszyXXQ/s1600/ACROSS+CHEST+%2526+BACK+ADJUSTMENT-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTkMobuL6tn2cF97Xa0Gs5V-HV2S22p7Wzw9CJM52Tsb6hn2AmqIrPDAi9K2jI3YH2UB4e19rH8wn6tEyxVGPls37NSnCgFAOSBiSmmjtuiImBTbPG-ybGggtYWb8Zd28AGF7CszyXXQ/s400/ACROSS+CHEST+%2526+BACK+ADJUSTMENT-01.png" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2 - Cut the line so that you've go 2 pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKfsbX7bvA8NY_79_pjz-UiEDddOBiALvrVsgD_IK1exCR1UZhpCf1HViIsU0yodQQKrA9XPoHoVWsvj8IVqMnOiBoe3pQhnPpPcclLGCJRayBrdEppK1Ts6LWI4A10xU8L7HBs9wVKs/s1600/ACROSS+CHEST+%2526+BACK+ADJUSTMENT-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKfsbX7bvA8NY_79_pjz-UiEDddOBiALvrVsgD_IK1exCR1UZhpCf1HViIsU0yodQQKrA9XPoHoVWsvj8IVqMnOiBoe3pQhnPpPcclLGCJRayBrdEppK1Ts6LWI4A10xU8L7HBs9wVKs/s400/ACROSS+CHEST+%2526+BACK+ADJUSTMENT-02.png" width="281" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3 - Now, move the top pattern piece over to amount you've decided. For this tutorial it's 2.5cm/1".</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 4 - Re-draw your armhole and CF lines.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Your front pattern has been adjusted now it's time to do the same to the back pattern.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 5 - Your back bodice pattern will be adjusted the same as the front. Rule a line at right angles to the CB in the across back region (10cm/4" down from the neckline).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 6 - Cut along the line so you have 2 pieces then move your top pattern piece over the same amount as the front.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love sewing the back neck facing for an invisible zip. It's so easy and so straight forward AND it looks professional! That's because this is the way it's done in the industry.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Step 1 - Make sure you've installed your invisible zip as shown in my tutorial - <a href="http://1puddlelane.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/enjoy-sewing-in-invisible-zip.html" target="_blank">HOW TO INSTALL AN INVISIBLE ZIP</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2 - Fold the back neck facing to the front making sure it's right side of fabric together.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3 - Pin the edge of the facing to the edge of the CB seam. You'll have the zip sandwiched in between.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 5 - You'll notice that there is more fabric on the back neck than the facing. This is because you are going to fold the CB seam toward yourself and to the left.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Let's get started!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 1</b> - Take a measurement (on your body) from your shoulder line down to your Bust Point (nipple). Transfer that measurement to your pattern and make a mark.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBd-mjme-WdNw7djVb3_fnJJAvWHIwq9Q3MjdmYInyS_tXpEud3YkUn-SEeGjpesMIh9B8lT0yCv1d6TyWSUu3311BfV6luQgUmc6PkLE0889xcntaim0o7KrxzzwszngH32jagUq8wTo/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-LOWER+BUST+DARTS+ALTERATION-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBd-mjme-WdNw7djVb3_fnJJAvWHIwq9Q3MjdmYInyS_tXpEud3YkUn-SEeGjpesMIh9B8lT0yCv1d6TyWSUu3311BfV6luQgUmc6PkLE0889xcntaim0o7KrxzzwszngH32jagUq8wTo/s640/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-LOWER+BUST+DARTS+ALTERATION-02.png" width="468" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 2</b> - Redraw in your dart by lowering the dart down to your new Bust Point that you just marked. Make sure the bust dart point is in line with the old bust dart point and the dart ends are the same width apart as the old bust dart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUCH08ZKnaOFod5tF8QdfkQ0H0vadHSFavQvboESdzy4yDqgePGYEoYZYFnIw0SkmA9pV5ISoYacyx7aWS2eW4feuDR92qCbHTGHVZyp9YbSPUaXfgKmKOHujzyiuiqeW-Dgska9pwmTg/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-LOWER+BUST+DARTS+ALTERATION-03.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUCH08ZKnaOFod5tF8QdfkQ0H0vadHSFavQvboESdzy4yDqgePGYEoYZYFnIw0SkmA9pV5ISoYacyx7aWS2eW4feuDR92qCbHTGHVZyp9YbSPUaXfgKmKOHujzyiuiqeW-Dgska9pwmTg/s640/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-LOWER+BUST+DARTS+ALTERATION-03.png" width="476" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 3</b> - Now measure down 2cm/3/4" below the Bust Point mark and mark the bust point for the waist dart. Redraw in your dart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ln9shOLuFYDGp5MB_MEEPj3vzl7hmuHuN3XOTjA7q2ta7RUquwz-NYAb9oR6MjqIVaX63yTpeb1Ges2c3qfijRcsD9cK1Iv4CHXxLaC6fASKChVsw7BGaQSvFRohqpdhNj6bS4zW7sM/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-LOWER+BUST+DARTS+ALTERATION-04.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ln9shOLuFYDGp5MB_MEEPj3vzl7hmuHuN3XOTjA7q2ta7RUquwz-NYAb9oR6MjqIVaX63yTpeb1Ges2c3qfijRcsD9cK1Iv4CHXxLaC6fASKChVsw7BGaQSvFRohqpdhNj6bS4zW7sM/s640/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-LOWER+BUST+DARTS+ALTERATION-04.png" width="518" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 4</b> - Place a piece of paper under the bodice and redraw your new side seam by folding the new dart up and then ruling in a new side seam starting at the side seam/armhole point and finishing at the side seam/waist point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it! You have now and perfectly positioned bust dart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE: If your bust dart is too low then just do this adjustment in reverse.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The shoulder adjustment is usually needs to be done to a bodice or dress with a sleeve. It needs to be done if your shoulders rotate to the front which causes the shoulder seam sit to the back and also the sleeve will have a lot of dragging and it won't sit very well.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-size: large;">the shoulder point site more to the front</span></li>

<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so let's get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1 - After you've done your fitting and you've worked out how much you want the shoulder to come forward by you'll need to transfer that amount to the pattern - in the image above we'll need to move the shoulder forward by 2.5cm/1".</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_cckCm5EYnWLgAUoxutuil43YlDu0gML_55wCHpdivItzPS4JV8BKfzMUuhjbB_V02qmFOhy4Qg56OLcoK2Jli9hwcKRtH_E1h7TsOcRWMBPQKKhpXshzWl0ElEPHIykZYhYCtXgj1Fk/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_cckCm5EYnWLgAUoxutuil43YlDu0gML_55wCHpdivItzPS4JV8BKfzMUuhjbB_V02qmFOhy4Qg56OLcoK2Jli9hwcKRtH_E1h7TsOcRWMBPQKKhpXshzWl0ElEPHIykZYhYCtXgj1Fk/s400/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-01.png" width="290" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2 - Measure down from the shoulder line the amount you need to adjust the shoulder line - in this case it's 2.5cm/1".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYf-hWc3V1DJKOHyrVNMRopqNPwwS-0wZ-WxcEgv9tV_Gokvw4uW8izR-YYk1B7JRc8NfMUyrExaaZFOfX8nOs5Mi6WEPcbVfQwUYhsncj2yIlDs-g-_0BmI8sAa-DiwPALCtal5dNND8/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYf-hWc3V1DJKOHyrVNMRopqNPwwS-0wZ-WxcEgv9tV_Gokvw4uW8izR-YYk1B7JRc8NfMUyrExaaZFOfX8nOs5Mi6WEPcbVfQwUYhsncj2yIlDs-g-_0BmI8sAa-DiwPALCtal5dNND8/s400/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-02.png" width="283" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3 - Cut through that line to create two separate pieces. <b>NOTE: Don't forget to add a 1cm/3/8" seam allowance to the front shoulder line.</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBBdGdYfRWCPfcPS4pSByGQQu9YlAYrdfxvfifxVQ-uwCyE6NG30zXOf1ZlvmLMxuROMUX38KAN_wife_EZiHm02AQc0KtRADrK6SM36dpSsUHzRZg1yjv_R-UL3uHmCTz3UsF0wA-wpc/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-03.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBBdGdYfRWCPfcPS4pSByGQQu9YlAYrdfxvfifxVQ-uwCyE6NG30zXOf1ZlvmLMxuROMUX38KAN_wife_EZiHm02AQc0KtRADrK6SM36dpSsUHzRZg1yjv_R-UL3uHmCTz3UsF0wA-wpc/s400/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-03.png" width="257" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 4 - Add the front piece you cut to the back shoulder line - <b>BUT make sure you come down 1cm.</b> This is to subtract the seam allowance from the back shoulder.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, redraw the neckline in.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 5 - Draw a line at the head of the sleeve just above the front and back notches.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDkc875NQwy63azfh56uBDGviASoUBkkdHrdNH71TJa76XICH_zX6Yu8uejRPTct6ffHkLZPXehqqU-kP8PEkn_7YnJOKkMrsNNAA2YCQQ8BMUFFnda4nX3rH507xF2DDJF6j5tlfe48/s1600/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-05.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDkc875NQwy63azfh56uBDGviASoUBkkdHrdNH71TJa76XICH_zX6Yu8uejRPTct6ffHkLZPXehqqU-kP8PEkn_7YnJOKkMrsNNAA2YCQQ8BMUFFnda4nX3rH507xF2DDJF6j5tlfe48/s400/1PL-MISS+FOX+DRESS-FRONT+SHOULDER+ALTERATIOBN-05.png" width="400" /></a></div>

<u><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is an FBA?</span></b></u></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>FBA</b> - short for <b>Full Bust Adjustment</b> - is an adjustment done to the front bodice pattern so that your bodice will fit around your boobs without pulling, creeping, flattening your boobs when you wear your bodice/dress. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's a way of adding cm's/inches to your pattern - just at the front where you need it and not at the back where you don't need it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And an <b>FBA</b> is done to a big bust. Most patterns are made for a B-C cup so if you are a D, E, F, G etc. you'll need to do an <b>FBA</b> to your pattern.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For this tutorial I've chosen my <b>MiSS FOX DRESS </b>pattern. It has a bodice and skirt and the bodice is made for a C cup. So if you are over a C cup then you'll need to do an <b>FBA.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><u>Step 1</u></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> - You'll need to take an <b>Upper Bust Measurement (B)</b> and <b>Full Bust Measurement (A)</b>. The <b>UBM</b> will go around you above your bust and up under your armholes. The <b>FBM</b> - you'll measure around the fullest part of your bust.</span><br />

That is a difference of 4". So, you'll need to add 4" to your front bodice pattern.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u><span style="color: #e06666;">Step 3</span></u> - Find the size you'll be starting with by using your UBM which is 40".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u><span style="color: #e06666;">Step 11</span></u> - Place some extra paper under your pattern. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now cut the line from the waist to the bust point and out to the armhole - don't cut right to the end. Leave about .5cm attached.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now cut the line of the bust dart but don't cut right through. Leave about .5cm attached. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Keep the <b>CF</b> stationary and open the waist to armhole line out the measurement you need. In this case the <b>UBM</b> is 40" and the <b>FBM</b> is 44". So that's a difference of 4". As you only need to add the 4" to the front and the pattern piece is half of the whole front you would divide the 4" by 2 which will give you 2". So you'll need to spread the pattern pieces 2". That will then open out the side bust dart.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u><span style="color: #e06666;">Step 14</span></u> - <b>To Redraw the Side Bust Dart</b>, you'll need to do a measurement from your shoulder to nipple to find out where you need to start your dart from. </span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So take that measurement and rule a line down from the shoulder to the bust point parallel to the <b>CF</b>. Mark a dot for the bust point measurement. This dot should be in line with the dot your marked for the waist bust dart.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now rule a line out at a <b>90 degree angle</b> to approx. where the side bust dart point begins and mark a dot.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rule a line from the side seam notch of the dart to the dot at the bust and then back out again to other side seam notch of the dart.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Who hates sewing in an invisible zip?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to admit I still sometimes do. After years of sewing I have my days when I just don't want to fiddle with a zip. But I've devised a way where you can sew in an invisible zip with the least amount of frustration.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This tutorial has been put together with my new pattern - MiSS FOX DRESS. It has a CB invisible zip.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today I'm going to show you another Pattern Hack for the MRT pattern. It's going to be a versatile top pattern that in itself can then be hacked and turned into many different top styles. You can make this into a cool summer top, a long sleeve winter top, and using Pattern Hack #1 you can turn it into a cross over top.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The possibilities are endless. <i><b>Is there nothing this pattern can't do?</b></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Ok, now you get the idea of what's possible I'll show you how to turn the MRT pattern into a basic T-Shirt top.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First you'll need your <a href="http://www.1puddlelane.com.au/store/p17/MiSS_RUBY_TUESDAY_DRESS.html" target="_blank">MRT pattern</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Make sure you have tested the MRT pattern and the size you'll be using is right for you.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">2. Transfer your bodice front pattern to paper and continue the CF line down by about 20".</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. For this tutorial I measured down 10" from the waist for the length of my top. You can make your top as long or short as you want.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Now square a line out from the 10" mark. This will form the hem of the top.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Measure your hip area of where the 10" comes on your body.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Divide that measurement by 4 and measure out on your pattern at the hemline and mark.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Next, rule a straight line from the waist/side seam point down to the hem/side seam point. This is the start of your new side seam.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Measure out about 1/4 - 1/2" at the waist and the hip and curve in your new side seam. Also, mark up 1/4" from the hem and curve in your new hemline.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Repeat Steps 2 - 7 for the back.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">8. You now have the basic pattern that you can either sew up into a gorgeous sleeveless/sleeved top or you can start playing and changing it into many different tops - like the images show above.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, what we have here that is different to the last pattern hack is that the tucks are coming from the waistline and not the side seams. And also, the tuck are stitch down about 2".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Rule 3 lines - like you did with Pattern Hack #1. These 3 lines will be draw from the waist to the armhole of the bodice. By doing this you are directing the tucks up to the bustline.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Follow the image below for the measurements. Then measure up from the waist on each line 2". This will be the notch for the tuck.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the first in a series of Pattern Hacks for my new pattern - <i><a href="http://www.1puddlelane.com.au/store/p17/MiSS_RUBY_TUESDAY_DRESS.html" target="_blank">Miss Ruby Tuesday Dress</a></i> - you'll learn how to adapt your bodice to a Cross Over bodice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><i>This feature is particularly good if you are breast feeding. But it's also a lovely feature to bring attention to the bodice area - if you have big boobs or small, it doesn't matter. It's a beautiful feminine feature to add to your dress pattern.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The VERY first thing you need to do</i></span> is to make sure you have done a Toile (mock up) of the MRT (Miss Ruby Tuesday) pattern to see that it fits perfectly on you. <i>This step is important because if your base pattern isn't a good fit then the pattern hack won't be either. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A good place to start to get ideas for a particular style you'd like to create is to GOOGLE images. For this particular lesson I googled - Cross Over Dresses - and I came up with this:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It amazing what you can find on Google.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for this lesson I've chosen to start simple and the 2 Cross Over bodice hacks you'll be creating are:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Basic Cross Over Bodice....there are no tucks and the right and left side bodices pieces are the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Cross Over Bodice With Side Tucks.......this is a bit more feminine and has a softer look. You can see that the right front pattern piece has the side tucks but the left doesn't, so you'll need to do 2 patterns.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Start with your front bodice pattern placed on another piece of paper that's folded in half. The pattern needs to be big enough to accommodate the front bodice pattern. We are going to be making a full front pattern as the shape of the Cross Over starts on one half of the bodice and extends to the other half of the bodice.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The Cross Over pattern starts off as being a V neck shape on half the pattern and then extended down to the other half of the pattern to the side seam. You'll notice that the bodice pattern already has a V neck option. You can use that as your starting point if it's the right depth for you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">First you need to measure down from the hollow in your neck to the point where you'd like your Cross Over to meet at the CF (Centre Front). If the V point on the pattern is where you want your Cross Over to meet - great. If not then mark in your new point and draw a line up to the shoulder/neck point.......similar to the V that's already there.</span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Sway Back issue happens when there is too much excess fabric at the back around the waistline but the front fits ok. So you need to get rid of the excess out of your pattern so that it sits better at the back.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCVfzH5q8CLNsy-8w3lAFnh0VJz3bQ55UqFDkEcTPZj44TEdeElefTev0dcZxWdRvIvouH4UXw0JE1cpeULJ9TkNWAYnQQAvvyq0LNe1k_KfUotyqm4V7WuHpIJ0YZ-gaqlnEeRkV1uo/s1600/Front+Shoulder+Adjustment+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCVfzH5q8CLNsy-8w3lAFnh0VJz3bQ55UqFDkEcTPZj44TEdeElefTev0dcZxWdRvIvouH4UXw0JE1cpeULJ9TkNWAYnQQAvvyq0LNe1k_KfUotyqm4V7WuHpIJ0YZ-gaqlnEeRkV1uo/s640/Front+Shoulder+Adjustment+%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I've stated in my other tutorials on Altering your Pattern you must sew up a <i>Toile/Muslin </i>of your pattern first so that you can fix all the fitting problems that are happening so that you don't get discouraged and end up throwing your garment in the corner never to be seen again. I know I've been there!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This back bodice is too long and too wide but for this tutorial I'll just be showing you how to take the excess out at the lower back or Sway Back Alteration.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Pin the excess out from the CB to the side seam. It will end up looking like a dart.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">If you find you need to take the excess out right round to the front then it's not a Sway Back problem it's just a Front and Back Length problem ie. The Front and Back length is too long for your body.</span></li>
</ul>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A gaping neckline can be a real pain in your finished dress. So here is how you can fix it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before you start sewing your pattern you must do this important step -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>MAKE A TOILE/MUSLIN FIRST</i> of the bodice or dress to nut out any fitting problems. That way there will be no tears at the end and another outfit thrown in the corner because it doesn't fit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so you've made your Toile - now is the time to try it on and see what fitting problems you have with your pattern.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15J-2eCWswNsjshoTotH5F5OUu0TbHbS5DpkHXnUtVaQUW7Uw30-a7txkDCKYSxISJtd9g_tdg56Alp9DY5ClejvVnDPl-XAI9TRDs0obdA7Bu1VGy1oEaSQXS5NEuuBBEAXFAMkPcBE/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-10-29+at+9.59.53+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="534" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15J-2eCWswNsjshoTotH5F5OUu0TbHbS5DpkHXnUtVaQUW7Uw30-a7txkDCKYSxISJtd9g_tdg56Alp9DY5ClejvVnDPl-XAI9TRDs0obdA7Bu1VGy1oEaSQXS5NEuuBBEAXFAMkPcBE/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-10-29+at+9.59.53+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The problem I see for this Toile is the gaping front neckline and also the fitting at the bust. But for this lesson I'll just address the gaping front neckline.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All a gaping neckline means is that the across chest is too big for you. So the across chest needs to be taken in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1 </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">pin in the excess fabric at the neckline making sure that you continue this down to nothing. It will end up looking like a dart and it should finish around just above the bust. If it goes lower than the bust almost to the waist - then your problem is that you have chosen a size too big for you.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Now to transfer that amount of excess to your pattern.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Measure down to the point where the excess fabric dart finishes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Mark that on your pattern and square a line out to finish at the seam.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Now draw a line up to the neckline - say half way between the CF and the shoulder.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Measure how much needs to be taken out of the pattern and halve it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Mark that amount on the pattern to the right of the first line at the neckline and draw a line back down to the first point.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0aShlm7O6L8Abp7tMtzTxRMQWGsNMKnvbDA9as9wcZJUvzn9qfefLV71lVR90FF69Kxdx4G-z66M39RGVgydzGwbCrfzGa-gYrs0ovJXOUHgRFH3HzH5EGcKYbkycjc46GyBwdlF9dk8/s1600/IMG_3109.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0aShlm7O6L8Abp7tMtzTxRMQWGsNMKnvbDA9as9wcZJUvzn9qfefLV71lVR90FF69Kxdx4G-z66M39RGVgydzGwbCrfzGa-gYrs0ovJXOUHgRFH3HzH5EGcKYbkycjc46GyBwdlF9dk8/s1600/IMG_3109.JPG" width="394" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 4</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Now fold the dart in and secure with tape. This is the time now to redraw the neckline if it needs it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The same amount of excess needs to also be taken out of the front neck facing.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And that's it ladies - I hope this has helped one aspect of making an outfit fit your properly. And now you are ready to make a gorgeous new outfit for yourself.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a lot of people ask me when I was going to sell the pattern to my <i><a href="http://www.audreylane.com.au/lookbook.html" target="_blank">Audrey Tea Dress</a></i> and, I suppose, I gave in to popular demand. So I created <b>THE MISS AUDREY DRESS</b> for you!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a beautiful, comfortable and very girlie dress to wear. You can dress it up for the evening making it out of gorgeous Silk, Satin Silk, even Georgette lined with Silk or a beautiful vintage Lace. Also, this makes a beautiful dress to wear to lunch dates and also to the office teamed with a beautiful tailored jacket. The sky is the limit with this beautiful dress.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I created it slightly different to my <i><a href="http://www.audreylane.com.au/lookbook.html" target="_blank">Audrey Tea Dress</a></i> to make it easier to fit and make. It features:</span></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">a panelled front bodice</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A-DD cup sizing - to give you that perfect</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">lined or unlined options</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">gathered or pleated skirt options</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">all-in-one neck and armhole facing</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>easy peasy</i> invisible zip instructions</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">in-seam pockets</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">sizes 6 - 20 (UK/AUS) and 2 - 16 (US)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">intermediate sewing level</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm looking for <i>intermediate sewers</i> who can make a dress with an invisible zip and also have knowledge of lining a garment. The instructions are very comprehensive with loads of illustrations to follow along. What you'll get in return for your hard work is:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">OMG! What an experience I've had over the past few weeks! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to try out being a pattern tester for the very talented Kennis Wong from <a href="http://itch-to-stitch.com/?affiliates=annmar" target="_blank">Itch to Stitch</a> for her new <a href="http://itch-to-stitch.com/product/marbella-dress-digital-sewing-pattern-pdf/?affiliates=annmar" target="_blank">Marbella Dress</a> just to see what it's like to be on the other side of testing. I've had many of my patterns tested but I've never been on the other side.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I had the most fabulous time helping Kennis with her gorgeous new dress. And, as the other clever testers and myself were in a special private facebook group we got to see what each other was making and also help each other out. What a fantastic community of ladies I had the pleasure to be with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, onto my thoughts about the Marbella Dress Test.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make the straight Size 6 (<i>that's US sizing</i>) - in Australia it would be a Size 10 - with the full lining and a B cup shaping. <i>Oh, yes the pattern comes with A - D cup shaping so no fail fit for the bust.</i> The instructions were straight forward and very clear and it made the whole process of printing out the pattern and making the dress very easy for me. Also, I could just print out the size I wanted to.....how neat is that! I felt the skirt was a bit tight but I have to say it still was a great fit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I wanted to make another dress just to test putting 2 sizes together. I decided to keep the Size 6 bodice and make a Size 8 bottom (<i>oh! I love the US sizing</i>). So I chose sizes 6 and 8 on the PDF pattern before printing it out. Again it was a breeze to put together and I decided to make this one a little bit different with a colour block yoke. <b><i>I think it turned out fantastic!</i></b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now that we've sewn on 2 different bias bindings that you use for armholes, necklines and anything that has a curved edge we are now going to do a binding edge that is more just for decorative reasons. It's a contrast binding around a hem of a dress, top, sleeve, collar etc. <i>If you missed out on Part 1 and 2 from the last two weeks click here:</i> <a href="http://1puddlelane.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/sewing-on-binding-part-1.html" target="_blank">Part 1</a> and <a href="http://1puddlelane.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/sewing-on-binding-part-2.html" target="_blank">Part 2</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This is how I've done the binding edges on my dress hems for <a href="http://www.audreylane.com.au/" target="_blank">Audrey Lane</a> dresses. It's quick, easy and finishes the hem off just nicely.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today I'm going to show you how to sew your bias binding around curves. This is really great if you have a scalloped hemline on a top, skirt, sleeves or want a decorative edge on tea towels, cushions and other craft items.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This is the last sewing tip in my 5 Part series on sewing bindings. If you want to view the other 4 posts please click on the links below:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This next binding I'll be showing you is not a decorative binding, it is more a functional binding. It's great if you don't want to sew on a bulky facing on your armholes and sleeves. It's fast and easy and looks really great!</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">But if you do want it to look decorative just reverse my instructions. So instead of sewing the binding onto the right side and turning over and finishing off on the wrong side you'd sew the binding onto the wrong side and turn it over and finish off on the right side. Very versatile!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Over the next few blog posts I'll be showing you 5 different techniques for sewing on binding.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I love the use of bindings when I make my children's wear and ladies wear. It's a great way to introduce a contrast colour on armholes, necklines, hemlines, pockets etc. And also you can use a binding that is hidden instead using a facing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bindings are a great way of keeping bulk down and making the garment light eg. if you are sewing a dress out of voile, binding round the neck and armholes would be a great finish to the garment without the bulk.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today I'll be showing you my standard binding that I use of armholes, necklines and pockets.</span><br />
