Best explanation I found on net. Very clear instruction. Thank you so much.

Very clear, concise direction.  Thank you for taking time to share.  I gave up sewing over 20 years ago.  Try as I might, my self taught pattern altering was lacking.  You inspire a new zest for sewing...at least in me.

This is such a great tutorial because you explain the why of the measurement as well as the positive/negative results if measured wrong. Thank you

+Anne Lindsay a better way to check would be to measure the inseam on a pair of pants that fit you in a similar style to what you're sewing. The crotch point is going to be different depending on how close the pants sit to your body (for example, leggings would have a longer inseam than pajamas) so measuring on your actual body isn't necessarily going to get you the best fit. Compare the pants measurement to the pattern and add hem and seam allowances to determine whether you need to lengthen/shorten. When in doubt, I always go longer than I think I'll need because you can always cut hems shorter.

I'm a beginner sewist with just a few simple patterns under my belt. Even with the few I have made, I am already finding myself wishing that I could make changes to make the garments fit me better. This measuring tutorial has been a great resource for me to figure out how my body compares to the bodies the patterns were drafted for. Thank you!

Best measurement information I’ve seen. So helpful. Thank you.

It's so useful - Thank you so much for sharing.

Excellent instruction. Simple and informative. Thank you.

Thank you for making this easy to understand! Been wanting to draft a sloper for weeks and your video is the best tutorial I've found 🧵🪡

This solves my measurement errors. I've been making errors for months now and couldn't draft a pattern properly. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME :)

Your explanation is just excellent💋

Immensely helpful. Many thanks.

I am so happy 😀 I found you. I got to this video from making the bodice pattern article on your web page. My waist is a 41 bust a 42, I have struggled trying to adjust patterns. So many other sites on creating a sloper have been so confusing. You have a new follower 👍. Great video for measuring

Thank you for this information.

This is very helpful! I'm just starting out with sewing, so learning how to properly take measurements of myself is great! Thank you!
