How do you lengthen a sewing pattern? <\/h2>\n

If you want to lengthen your pattern piece, cut along the bottom “lengthen or shorten” line, to separate your pattern pieces into two. Get a piece of paper a bit wider than the pattern piece you are lengthening, and draw two parallel lines. Place the two pieces of the pattern you are lengthening on the paper, lining up the cut edge with one of the lines you drew. Tape the pattern pieces in place. Draw a new line along the other edge of the pattern pieces, parallel to the first line. This is your new lengthened pattern piece.<\/p>\n

When you need to lengthen or shorten a pattern piece, cut or trace off the piece in your desired size. Cut along the Lengthen\/Shorten line. Use scrap paper (tape pieces together if necessary) and draw a straight line. Tape the upper portion of the bodice front along the upper line. Use a ruler and fine point pencil to extend the fold line.<\/p>\n

How much does it cost to lengthen a pattern? <\/h2>\n

The length of the dress should be compared to the pattern piece to ensure accuracy. The pattern piece should be 1-15 inches (25-4 cm) longer than the actual dress. This takes into account the seam allowance at the shoulder and the hem. The amount you want to adjust the pattern should be worked out before beginning.<\/p>\n

The needed size of the pattern can be determined by measuring the pattern and then multiplying that measurement by as much as needed. For example, if the pattern says ‘enlarge by 200%’, then the starting size would be multiplied by 2. If the pattern says ‘enlarge by 150%’, then the starting size would be multiplied by 1.5.<\/p>\n

Sleeves are an important part of a jacket, and they can be easily changed if they are too large or small. If you need to alter your sleeves, it is best to take them to a tailor or seamstress to have them altered professionally.<\/p>\n
