How to measure your pattern?

by lisa

I want to learn to sew, and everyone tells me to measure my pattern itself to make sure that it fits my measurements. So how do I do that?

Answer: It is true your usual size may not be the same size as a finished sewn item. By taking your measurements and following the back of a pattern measurement chart you will ensure you are making the correct size for you.

On the back of your pattern it will have a size chart, use your own measurements to determine what the correct fit is.
