I am getting back to sewing after many years' absence <br />and my body has changed a great deal in that time - plus I never <br />adjusted patterns way back when - so this is all new to me. I do want <br />things to fit me well, so I am going to brave the waters and try making <br />adjustments now. The FBA tutorials I've found all seem so complicated <br />when they Diane in NYCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045518520184905670.post-19258010363760380182014-10-13T01:20:30.431+02:002014-10-13T01:20:30.431+02:00Thanks, Jo, that makes perfect sense.

For the no-dart version you're indeed right that length is added over the bust at the centre front (when you slide down the lower part of the pattern piece), but not at the side - the extra length at the centre gets tapered out to nothingJohttp://jo-sews-etc.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045518520184905670.post-25496843378683486082014-10-12T14:00:14.282+02:002014-10-12T14:00:14.282+02:00Hi Jo, am I right in thinking that if you redraw t...Hi Jo, am I right in thinking that if you redraw the hemline to the original length, then you haven't added any extra length for the bust? What if you do want extra length for the bust at the front but not the back? Or perhaps that's imposdible without a dart :-)<br />Will definitely try this one out!<br />Thank you, SarahSarah Turnbullnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045518520184905670.post-38931429578890231392014-04-11T09:02:56.787+02:002014-04-11T09:02:56.787+02:00When I first learned it I was amazed by how easy i...When I first learned it I was amazed by how easy it turned out to be - it always seems scarier than it is!
