How To Measure For Sewing Patterns | Sewing For Beginners

Do you want to know how to sew for beginners? Do you need to know how to measure body for sewing patterns?

In this video we show you how to take your measurements to find your sewing pattern starting size. This footage is taken from our online beginner sewing course - Guide To Commercial Patterns. In this online sewing class we give beginner sewing tips and walk you step-by-step through the process of sewing using a tissue pattern. Knowing how to measure yourself is an important first step when you learn to sew, even before you can calculate how much fabric you need to buy.

In the full online sewing class, we also teach you how to understand the ease (the extra added on top of your body measurements that determines how loose or close fitting a garment in) and use the finished garment measurements to help you get the best fit from sewing patterns. We show how to make basic sewing pattern adjustments, help you to understand sewing pattern instructions, decide which sewing pattern pieces you need and how to cut your dressmaking fabrics.

You will learn everything you need to know to sew your first commercial sewing pattern with success!
