Master Garment Ease to Reduce Fitting Issues
Did you know that the number one reason why somebody sews something and never ends up wearing it is due to incorrect garment ease? That's right! In a recent survey I sent out with hundreds of responses, 72 of them said that they did not wear a garment because it was either too big or too small in certain areas. That's a direct result of incorrect garment ease. I want to dive into this topic with you in an exclusive webinar Mastering Garment Ease. Sign up for the FREE exclusive webinar a

Fixing Diagonal Hems on Shorts

What to do when the legs of the shorts “wing” out and the hemline is not horizontal but more like in a v shape? This issue is very obvious in shorts (not as perceptible in pants).

This is how you reduce the “winged” look in the legs of your shorts with this pattern correction. This will give a more flattering fit to your shorts.

1. Cut along the shorts and drop them at the waistline.

2. Give at the side-seam area to the waistline.

3. Go to zero wherever it looks right, for example, at the Center Front and Center Back.
