Your wonderful instructions helped me make a beautiful garment which I have since used as the basic pattern to make many perfectly fitting tops. Your website has so much information and I have not used a commercial printed pattern since I have discovered you and your clear ways of designing a great fitting item. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing with us.

Hi thank you ..I tried the pattern on a fabric and I would like to know if there is any adjustments that needs to be made to the bodice if the difference b/w upper back width(16′) and front width(15″) of the body is 1″ … Since I see that the sleeves when attatched to the armhole has a difference of 1/2 less fabric in the front and 1/2 excess at the back and don’t meet at the notches of the bodice… What could be wrong…??

In reply to . Hi Anitha If you want a nice fit it is how it is. But if you want a loser fit you can add 1/2 inch extra. Please make a mock up with a cheap cloth so that you get the correct fit for you

Hi, when you take 3/4″ for the shoulder slope doesn’t it reduce the armhole width? Further while cutting the fabric with the pattern should we include seam allowance 1/2″ at the shoulder? Else it would further reduce armhole width by another 1/2″ so if my bust is 40, according to the table armhole depth is 71/2″, so the final would be 71/2″-3/4″-1/2″=61/2″ which is believe will be too small… Or is my assessment wrong? Could you please clarify..thank you

On the basis of bust size, how did you determine the size of armhole. This is not clear.

Hello, a very quick question regarding the top width of the sleeve. It says 17 inch wide, the when folded the line B-E exceeds the half of the folded length (17 inch width and BE is, say, 9 or 9 1/2 inch).
The sleeve tutorial suggests 20 inch width as the starting point for making the sleeve pattern.
Could you possibly clarify. Many thanks
