Thank you - perfect timing! I have just started looking at this method of pattern drafting to fit me. Excellent demonstration, as you always do, & I feel confident to have a go! Thank you.
This has been fantastic. I've just adjusted for a narrow shoulder. Sewn garment up and of course now my bicep is too big 😂! Timely video from yourself, extremely easy to understand. You are a great teacher and I'm subscribed 🙏
:) this is just one example of how every adjustment can be accomplished several ways & some are easier than others to get it done. Thanks for fitting along with me
Has this comparison been made on a top pattern that perhaps needed a full bust adjustment? I don’t know if I should experiment or dive in and use one method. When I learned pattern making at college years ago, I was taught both methods.
That's a great question. These two techniques are different ways to adjust the pattern pieces. This is different from a method to order the adjustments that you make to a fit a pattern. For tops I did a series called "Efficient Work Flow for Bodice Fitting. This method starts at the top of the pattern to fit the upper back, neck, shoulder and upper chest... After the muslin is sitting properly on the shoulders... it's time to move down and fit the pattern vertically from the base of the armhole to the hem.

Agreed! I was trying every which way to Sunday to see if I could increase the bicep without shortening the cap height... The answer to that is that all methods shorten the cap when you're adding to the bicep length. :) Thanks for fitting along with me

More room in the bicep is not something I usually need, but I really like your concept of achieving this as well as your presentation.

Thanks for fitting along with me!
so I concluded from this that pivot and slide is simpler than slash and spread. So I think doing the pivot is the way to go with less steps.
