Go in 1/4" on the two outer sides and 1 " in the corner I.e 45 degrees. Join all three points using a curved ruler to form the neckline.is you are a large size then you will go in 1/2" on the sides. Extra large 3/4" etc

Now that the neckline is done next is the armhole. From the guideline on the shoulder line go down 9" and mark .

Measure the front body from the shoulder to the waist and Mark From this point measure your waist and Mark 1/4 add 1/4" for easing at the side and 1/2" down for the stomach adjustments, if your stomach is a bit bigger you add 1" adjustment. Use your curved ruler to join the points to the side and point K to the bottom And that's your front bodice pattern. Get your scissors and cut along the line make sure your darts are folded.

marylandcakes, This is so perfect. You just showed me a better way to draw my Armhole curve. That thing has givwn me serious headache. Thanks dearie the French curve I saw in bookshop is small, just like the type we used in sec sch. Any idea where I can get this your type? |
Re: Sewing for beginners by marylandcakes: 1:37am On Jun 18, 2016 |
CheeryChy: You are most welcome, you can try the big shops where the architectural students get their stuff. |

The next stage is the drafting of the back bodice |
Re: Sewing for beginners by marylandcakes: 11:03am On Jun 18, 2016 |
For the back bodice Mark 1" for the zip allowance and fold backwards. Draw your guide line at the top.

Re: Sewing for beginners by marylandcakes: 11:08am On Jun 18, 2016 |
Measure out 1/2 of the shoulder length and Mark on the guideline
|
Re: Sewing for beginners by marylandcakes: 11:14am On Jun 18, 2016 |
Go down 1&3/4" and from the beginning of the guideline go in 2.5" and join these two points and this becomes the shoulder slope |
Re: Sewing for beginners by CheeryChy(f): 11:59am On Jun 18, 2016 |
marylandcakes: Ok. Wanna ask a question about the front chest and back ches. I wasnt taught about front and back chest when I learnt freehand. So I'm new to this but it makes so much sense. So pardon my numerous questions . When cutting, can I use the same measurement of front chest for the back chest, if I want to cut the front and back armholes together at once? Or I must cut them separately? Also if I want to cut a bodice for instance and I don't have the front chest measurement of the particular person, can I improvise by subtracting 2inches from the shoulder measurement to use as the front chest measurement? Do you think this will work generally for everyone? Also, you measured 9inches from the shoulder slope for your armhole before curving it. Didn't curving it increase the measurement, What then is your new Armhole measurement? I was taught that if you have an armhole measurement of 18 inches which divided by 2 is 9inches for example, you subtract 1½ inches and measure 7½ from the shoulder slope, then you curve, the curve always increases the measurement back to 9inches for the original Armhole measurement. Please clarify me on this too . Thanks |

Re: Sewing for beginners by marylandcakes: 8:51am On Jun 19, 2016 |
CheeryChy: Answer:[b] I measured 9" from the guideline, this is above the shoulder slope. I also think you are confusing the bust line with the arm hole . On the front bodice you add 1/2" for easing which increases the armhole curve and for the back bodice you deduct 1/2" which narrows the armhole curve at the back. I hope this has clarified things for you. Like many things in life. There are many ways of doing things but this is my way. Thanks |

Everyone please note this is a basic bodice for a medium size. Once you get this technique then you can an always make your adjustments from this and you will end up with garments with a professional finish. |

what do you mean by square, |
Re: Sewing for beginners by marylandcakes: 7:35pm On Jun 22, 2016 |
hardestyoung: In my videos, when I say square out that means you draw a lines in both directions from the Mark or point. Vertical and horizontal lines. If the Mark or point is already on a line then you draw a perpendicular line. |
