- Hello, friends! Welcome back to the “Let’s sew our best fitting woven top” series! This is the very awaited and so necessary episode on full bust adjustments! I know not everyone needs them, but you might do and not know it. You will see a very practical hands on videos today!
I have also sewn an ill fitting top to illustrate how bad a different cup size can fit, even though the circumference is ok. We will be covering lots of cup sizes today.
If you find this video helpful, I’d be so happy if you shared the link of this video with your sewing friends. Thank you so much 😀

I took a class in FBA and when the instructor realised I have 6 inches difference between high and full bust and narrow shoulders she more or less ran away and left me wondering what to do. I have watched many videos and made umpteen changes on different patterns and I all but gave up. So wow this video is brilliant. You have explained it perfectly and shown me how the rest of the pattern should look AND done it on my size and not only on a size 14. Thank you so much xx
I can’t believe a teacher did that 🤯. I’m sad that happened to you and I hope this video helps :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles yes thank you it was great and you explained it perfectly. I don’t have a lot of time to sew at the moment but definitely going to practice fba to get a great fit. Thank you so much x
I am so excited to try the y!! I'm getting ready to try a new pattern, so there will be many adjustments (not my favorite part) if this works better for me the money I will save!! Thank you so much for this information.
Thank you so much for commenting with your frame of reference! I just measured and I've got 5.5-6" difference too so this is so encouraging!
Thank you Karina, this is SO useful to us larger busted women
Karina, you are a gifted teacher. I appreciate all the work you put into this video, making it easy to understand. You are a treasure!
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I really needed it. Especially with these types of videos that I know will perform poorly on TH-cam.
Thank you Karina, I think I understand everything you have discussed. Now I'm going to put it into practice.
This is very helpful for me because I sew for my daughters . All 3 girls are different from each other and totally different from me. The"Y" added just enough to help my middle girl, thank you!
I realize I'm watching this again 2 years after you filmed it but i needed to review so thought I'd let you know 😉
Excellent! I have a very full bust and have made many full bust adjustments, so I’m quite confident making them. I’ve also been sewing for over 50 years. But, this is the most comprehensive and most clearly explained process for bust adjustments I have ever seen!!! Very well done! ❤❤❤
Karina, There is no contest between your explanation and ANYONE else's I've seen. Particularly your point at 10:40 when you show that if you don't have the high bust measurement, you need to calculate it. Brilliant! I have watched a ton of videos on this and no one else clarifies this crucial point. A THOUSAND THANKS.
Glad it was helpful!
All I can think of is how much I would LOVE to take a class with you in person to learn all the fitting tricks. You are so good at explaining this.
I’d love to teach in person but I don’t see how that can be possible.
This is brilliant! Every FBA video and explanation has left me fearful and anxious and you have explained it so simply I finally get it. Thank you so much Karina. You are an incredible teacher.
I've taken a class on FBA and watched many videos. This is the best one I've seen. You explain it very well. Thank you.
Thank you for the encouragement :)
Thank you Katrina for this video. It is the absolute “best” explanation of bust adjustments. When I first started sewing (many years ago) I could buy a pattern, choose the bust size and it fit perfectly. Now that is not the case so these adjustments are necessary for a good fit. You have made this process much easier. Your video isn’t long, it’s “informative”. 😊
That was my story too, in the past. Fitting was a non existent issue in my head when I was younger.
Another terrific video from you. It must take so much time for you to put these tutorials together, and then share your expertise with all of us. Thank you very much.
I’m glad it’s helpful. Yes they take incredibly long to make. I don’t even want to count the hours 😀
Karina, I just want you to know that I appreciate you so so much. You give us so much amazing information. My sewing has improved by leaps and bounds since I have subscribed to your channel. That is the absolute truth. Thank you so much for all the time you spend teaching us .
This is the first time a full bust adjustment has been explained to me so clearly. Thank you so much, I now know what to do.
Glad it was helpful!
Your muslin and explanation was very helpful! 🎉
Thank you so much. You explain things so well. You give us the important details that others don't mention. xx
This is so helpful. You’re a very good teacher!! Thanks!!
This was VERY Helpful. Thank you sooooooo much for sharing. I did my first time ever draft. I sew for my daughter and several times she’s ended up with ‘pancake’ bust 😂. I’m excited to try. Again…thanks so much
Love Karina’s Annie Top and just had to come here to learn the FBA adjustment. I’ve been avoiding it because other tutorials were confusing to me (photo and explanations). This is so easy to do and can’t go back. My first woven top as a newbie. Learned a lot and enjoyed sewing it so much ❤️🇨🇦.
This is very timely as I need to make something for someone else with an F sewing cup from a B pattern. So helpful - thank you as always!
This is THE BEST explanation of FBA I’ve seen. It makes so much sense n u explain it so well with how the pattern is cut n how to make an extra cut for those of us that have a big difference in the high bust n full bust measurement. Thanks so much
I love the way you explain things to us. You say take your time to figure it out. Thanks so much for putting in the time it takes to make us understand sewing and fitting.
I’m glad this is helpful for you :)
This is one of the the most detailed and useful fba videos that I have watched. You are so good at explaining... Thank you...
Thank you so much you explanation has really explained it all to me properly much appreciated
Thank you once again for a great lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Hi Karina, I have just discovered fbas and Itch to Stitch patterns. What a game changer! Thank you so much for all the information you share with us
Excellent.. I need to adjust for 42 chest to 49 bust and your Y fitting looks like it might actually work 😁 Thank you so very much.
OMG!!!! I just tried my first fba and what a difference. I’m so happy with the outcome. I did have a slight issue with the darts but I know how to fix it thanks to this video. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are so helpful. I learned to sew via TH-cam a year and a half ago and especially thanks to your how to videos.. You are so talented and a wonderful teacher.
Giiiiirrrrllll the way you gave me a whole lightbulb moment!!!!! Thanks so so much hun!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much. I have always had problems with the necklines being way too big and the shoulders hanging off. Now I know why and how I can fix it. Your explanation made so much sense. Thanks again.
I hope you get a better fitting top the next time you make one :)
I've always been intimidated by fba. You make it so easy to understand. Thank you so much.
I love how you think - and how you explain all of the details in an easily understood manner. Thank you so much for this fitting series.
You’re very welcome :)
Well explained! Hope this encourages more people to start with better fitting size overall and do the FBA they need. It give such a better fit and look. And once you have done the adjustment a few times is not that complicated and so worth the little bit of extra effort for the result. 💕
I agree. This can be super fast to do :)
Thank you, Karina. I'm learning this so I can sew lovely, fun garments for people I care about. You're a gem!
Thank you so much for doing this! Very helpful. Last year I went back to garment sewing and was having a terrible time with the fit. I have a 4-5 inch difference between high and full bust and my garments were gapping across the top, and very ill fitting because I chose the pattern based on my bust size. I didn’t know any different, I didn’t know about the high bust measurement or FBA’s. I’ve learnt so much in the last year , much thanks to you.
I hope it makes a difference in your future tops :)
Karina: what a great explanation. I’ve been wary of making myself a button down shirt because the pattern I wanted to use, needed a FBA. Now I’ve worked along side your video et voila! It’s done. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! It’ll make a huge difference :)
Wow the very best video on FBA! I have been watching so many but this one is the best. Do you have the same but for pants adjustment? So clear, so well explained, thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
For pants, sure do :) th-cam.com/play/PLwk5xT21q_c1s4_FgX0aHcqcFG-9gpgzO.html
I love you fitting tutorials. They are so informative and very hepful. Thank you, Karina! Your thorough explanations are much appreciated.
You are so welcome!
A pleasure learning from you.
This is absolutely the best FBA I've come across! Thank you! Great explanation. Subbed!!
Amazing!!! You are quite a great teacher!!!
Thank you so much for this video - I've watched so many videos about FBAs, but this is the first one I've truly understood. Confident that I can try and put this into practice now!
I have watched many “how to” and this was the best ever, long but very informative. I will now search for your other videos many thanks.
It’s long because it’s meant to go in depth. I’m interested in always explaining the “why” and that takes longer than just saying “it’s like this” and nothing else.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles apologies when I put “long” I didn’t mean that it was too long. I watched it from start to finish and learnt so much.
I’ve been waiting for this. Never thought of myself as full busted but recently measured and I have 6-1/2” difference. No wonder shirts are huge in the shoulders or tight in the bust
I hope you have better fitting results next time :)
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you so much for teaching this. Like a previous comment, I've looked at FBA tutorials but never 'got' it. Now I understand!
Yay! That makes me so happy 😀
This was so helpful.❤ Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
WOW , what a wonderful tutorial !! Thank you very much !
Thank you for your Patience to do this!!😍😍😍
I have a 10” difference from HB and FB, and so even with a FBA I don’t like the look. Darts too big, and the waist ends up way bigger than I need (my waist is 8” smaller than my HB, so I even have to grade my bottom without the FBA) BUT THANK YOU for the quick mention of the Y adjustment at the end. I almost clicked out before you mentioned it, so I hope someone else bigger than an H sees my comment so they can watch to the end! I can’t wait to try it and see if I like it better
Thanks Karina, a very useful video. Very clearly explained.
Your an amazing teacher . Love to listen to your tutorial .
Very informative. Thank you. Keep safe and well. ❤️
Thank you . It’s worth watching from beginning to end.
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to understand how to do a full bust adjustment and I’ve gone through several videos. Yours is by far the best. ❤️
Karina, another brilliant video - just the kind I love! Thank you!
I’m so glad :)
I found this demo very clear and helpful so thank you Karina.
Thank you Karina , for such an in-depth FBA tutorial. I have watched many videos teaching on this subject, but I always had questions after watching. I am happy to say all my questions have been answered. Thank you again for another detailed tutorial.
Thanks for the in-depth demonstrations and for including all the larger adjustments for an FBA. I'd forgotten about the "Y" adjustment I'd learned from a Palmer/Pletsch book so thanks for that reminder.
I didn't realize Itch to Stitch included D cup sizing in their patterns so thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Thank you for this in-depth video.
You’re very welcome :)
Thank you for your lesson. Very thorough, informative and educated. Well done !!
I love your tutorials. You explain it so well thank you
I’m glad you liked it :)
Thank you Karina. I get it now. Such a great informative video. X
I’m so glad :)
Looking forward to this! Even though I'm the opposite fitting activity -- love to hear your perspectives and always learn so much from you, Karina!
The SBA video will be helpful too then :)
Excellent video Karina, thank you very much.
You’re welcome 😀
Love your tutorials.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. You are teaching very good and you make it so easy to understand. Thank you. Regards from Norway 👍🥰
Excellent! Thank you! So clear and helpful and also the math calculation at the end. Great! Not used to seeing you in a sweater though... :)
You are so right, Karina. I have been avoiding doing an FBA even though I knew I needed it. I really understand better now that I've watched this and feel excited to try. Thank you - I will report back once I've tried it.
Fantastic tutorial so easy to follow, thank you 😊
I’m glad you liked it :)
This is great. I’m a new sewist, about to start my THIRD muslin but I’m determined to figure this stuff out early and I learned SO much from this tutorial. Thank you! Subscribed!
Hello Karina what a wonderful class Karina it makes my head spin at time’s but you are so good at explaining and I may have to repeat my watching and maybe I will get there. In time . Love Janet.
Thank you for your deliberate, thorough explanations. And on a rather delicate subject no less. You handled it like a pro. I have bookmarked this page so when I sew clothing, maybe I'll actually get something to fit! LOL
Thank you that was very informative I think I will try this . You always explain in such detail.
I hope the detail helps but I know it makes the videos a little longer :)
Wow! Thank you. I am going to try the Y adjustment. A great tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Finally! I understand how to do a fba!
Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad. It’s actually fun!
Thanks sooo much for sharing, this was very important!!😍
I’m glad you think so. The fit is so much better when the bust is right :)
Karina thank you so much for this video! You are an excellent teacher and I always enjoy and learn so much from your videos. I know my makes will look better with an adjustment and I have a TNT top pattern that is only 2 pieces that I am excited to follow along with your video and try it one on. I have put it off too long I need to dig in and learn how to do the FBA that I need. Thanks so much for your excellent tutorial on this I really appreciate it!
Full Bust Adjustment? --Great explanation about a common problem. Thank you So MUCH. ~ L
I’ve watched FBA adjustment vlogs before and lost the will to live, so, consequently failed to accomplish.... you’ve now made it really clear for me and I can have a go now! Thank you
You can do it!
Excellent explanation!
Thank you Karina . Very helpful .
You're so welcome!
This video was Awesome Karina! Thank you so much for including the math calculations at the end, it is very helpful! I also appreciate all of the visual examples! You have a blessed day!😀🥰
I’m glad you liked the little formula. I love it :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I love math, so it was a perfect addition to the video!😊
Fantastic tutorial Karina
Glad you liked it!
Excellent tutorial. Thx so much.
You're very welcome!
amazing video thank you so much 😍
Thanks for showing, so useful to see "how to" on paper, brilliant :-)
You’re welcome 😊
Great explanation! I can't wait to try it now.
Yay! I hope it works out well for you :)
Dear Karina, do you have a tutorial on FBA when there's no dart? You're the greatest.
In the context of knits or woven?
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Woven
well done I think I understand!
Excellent! But i have to see video one more time to understand and enjoy the pattern
Great tutorial ❤️ thank you 🙏
This demonstration is just fabulous. I’m going to try it out now. I think Love Notions has full bust versions of patterns which is super helpful. They have done the work for me.
The full bust piece does have a limit though. 4-6” high bust to full bust difference. So there will be people who need an FBA on top of what’s there already.
Very informative. I am petite in height but heavier in the waist and hip. Therefore, I always have to adjust patterns for a great fit. Your tutorials and resources really help. Thank you
Thank you!
Thank you for explaining when to use the Y full bust adjustment. I didn't realize that when I first was learning how to fit my bust, I was using the Y FBA which I didn't need. I fluctuate between a B and C cup. I didn't understand that I was creating extra room on my chest area which I didn't need. I appreciate your detailed, clear and thorough instructions! Now I will review the patterns that I gave up on and see if I can figure out the fit on the bust.
I hope you have a nicer experience in the future :)
Thank you so much!!!!
Excellent explanation. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles another legendary video thank you! Even though (having a 5 - 6 inch difference) I’m pretty well versed in FBAs, I always learn something new or have a lightbulb moment about the ‘why’ whenever I watch one of your videos.
Thanks!
Fantastic thankyou so much 💕
You’re very welcome 😀
