Stop using up all your beautiful fabric on practice garments to test a fit. I show you how to get a great fit quickly with tissue fitting using McCall's 7540, a lined bodice with princess seams and cup options. No muslins required. I walk you through how to pick a pattern size and make adjustments like how to raise the armscye (armhole), lengthen the pattern, and add width.

I am constantly looking for videos showing pattern adjustment. It is so important. And I get so frustrated making toile after toile. So many people just assume we know about marking off the seam allowance before we start to adjust but I didn't know that when I first started attempting to adjust patterns. I've made suggestions for tutorials on this on channels and just seem to get ignored. So I said all that to say Thank You for this video. It was very helpful. I am now a new subscriber Mari and I know I will learn a lot. Again, thank you.

@barbarawarner4645 2 года назад

Super useful video! In the early 60’s, I learned to tissue fit in 4-H club, when I initially learned to sew. My mom learned to do this also in High School in the early 40s. We only did toiles for wedding and prom dress type projects. Anyway, this is still what I do 90% of the time. This method is easy, no additional cost or waste of fabric, efficient, and effective. Of course, this isn’t so easy if your pattern is made from computer paper instead of tissue! Thanks so much for sharing this method.

@MariSews 2 года назад

So cool to hear. I had someone ask me how it works with paper. I think I’ll give it a go and find out just how hard it is 😃 isn’t it funny how we circle around to fitting techniques of the past that are still such an efficient way to make garments? Sometimes things just don’t need to be reinvented

@dotschischloh9767 2 года назад

Amazon sells translucent paper that works well for patterns and tissue fittings.

@mb5ggX2SyFMM Год назад

@@dotschischloh9767 Yes! I bought Pellon 111 pattern tracing paper. It's light weight and translucent for tracing patterns, and strong enough to do tissue fittings.

@victoriahannah1633 2 года назад

These are such good tips for fitting. The sewing part is not too hard but fitting can give me a fit. Width is an important issue but also length of your body parts in relation to the pattern helps in getting the fit right.

@MariSews 2 года назад

Fitting was always my biggest struggle and forced me to get creative on numerous occasions. Thankfully this takes a bit of the guessing game out of fitting.

That outfit fits you like a glove. So gorgeous. Thank you for the tutorial because I learned a lot. I am so fortunate that I don’t have to do a lot of pattern changing but I sometimes do have to accommodate for a full bust and now sometimes accommodate for a full tummy. But it’s all good!

@MariSews 2 года назад

What a lucky gal you are! The only time I can recall not having to make adjustments was when I first started sewing and didn’t quite understand what a good fit really was. Everything was either skin tight or super loose. 😂

@bigfamilyaffair 7 месяцев назад

Great video! I learned the pivot and slide method from Nancy Zieman's Sewing with Nancy many years ago. I still use her technique because it is such a classic method and so easy. Your method is similar and that's what caught my attention. Thank you!

@MariSews 7 месяцев назад

I’ve never tried her method but now I feel like I need to give it a go. Thanks!

@jamieevans1387 Год назад

What a great tutorial! I learned a similar technique when I made my tights. I have never seen a detailed pattern adjustment before. This is perfect! Gonna save this one for my next makes. Also, I love your honesty and personality. I was wondering about that sequence, but bc of how you explained to literally do everything to the lining first made me want to use a fun fabric like sequence more. Thanks

@MariSews Год назад

I’m so glad that is was helpful. And yes, tackle that lining first because no one will see any extra seams. You’ve got this!

@theresawagner2642 2 года назад

I just finished the style arc pattern of the Joy Woven Vest. I used some remnants for lining(it's fully lined) The remnants were of a rather inexpensive silk charmuese. It frayed like crazy and I lost about a 1/2" on the front part of the vest lining, making the finished garment pull funny after sewing together. What is your suggestion for a silky type of lining fabric? Would you suggest cutting the lining a bit larger than your outer garment fabric? I am not an experienced lining sewer. Just done a few things that are lined. Thank you and I love your videos.

@MariSews 2 года назад

Oh bummer that it frayed it so much. For something like that I’d stay stitch all the edges or I’d apply a little bit of interfacing the edges. What a bummer!

@theresawagner2642 2 года назад

@@MariSews thank you Mari. I will try the iron on interfacing. I still like the vest and will wear it, but I won't be adding the buttons to this one. Thanks again.

@MichelleSewsAgain 2 года назад

You looked like a million bucks in that fancy outfit girl! 🧵 I've been measuring my high bust in the wrong place! I've been going too high. 🧵 Mari - this was SUCH a helpful video! Do you think this method would work on pdf patterns that are printed on thicker paper (like from PDF Plotting)?

@MariSews 2 года назад

It should still work, you just might have to do some extra smoothing around curves. I’ll try it with the next pattern I’m planning to make that came in from PDF plotting and will let you know.
