A shurt is a type of garment that covers the upper body and typically has sleeves. The word “shurt” is derived from the Old English word for shirt. A shurt sewing pattern usually consists of a front and back bodice piece, as well as a sleeve pattern. To increase the butt in a shurt sewing pattern, you will need to add width to the back bodice piece. This can be done by increasing the seam allowance, or by adding darts.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question since it will depend on the specific pattern and garment construction. However, some tips to follow include downloading a pattern with more fullness in the seat area, or using a gathered or pleated skirt to add more volume.

The slash and spread method is the easiest method for resizing a pattern, and will be your go-to in this situation. To do this, make horizontal and vertical lines on your pattern piece, placed where you want the pattern to increase or decrease. Then, cut along those lines and spread to create the new pattern piece.<\/p>\n

When you are enlarging or reducing a pattern, it is important to measure the pattern and then multiply that measurement by the desired amount. For example, if the pattern says to enlarge by 200%, you would need to multiply the starting size by 2. If the pattern says to enlarge by 150%, you would need to multiply the starting size by 1.5.<\/p>\n
