Taking Body Measurements 


Hello students! 

This video walks you through the body measurement charts, and demonstrates where & how to take your measurements. I'll also talk a bit about ease and gauge, and introduce you to my lovely assistant, Abigail! 

As I reiterate in this video: some of these measurements are going to be a personal preference. You get to decide how long you want your sleeve to be, and you get to decide how much ease you'd like in a given circumference. My method of pattern writing serves to empower you to make these choices and create your perfect garment! 

Please note that closed captions are available via the "CC" button on the bottom right. 

Enjoy! 

xoxo

Ah! Thank you for letting me know!

I got the gauge to work. Thank you

The gauge link won’t work.

Thank you 😊

Hi Kat! If you think you'll be wearing the garment primarily while seated, then I would say that taking the measurements while seated is the best plan! The only measurement I would take either while standing or take the measurement of an existing garment is the skirt length measurement. Instead of standing, you could measure the length of your favorite skirt to get that measurement! That being said, you won't be needing this measurement anytime in the near future, so you don't have to worry about it just now. :) I hope this helps!

I’m a wheelchair user, so I’m seated most of the time. Do you think I should take my waist and hip measurements seated? There is definitely a measurement difference between seated and standing for me.

There is not a pattern for it currently.... but perhaps in the future! ;)

This was really helpful Sydney - thank yoU!

I really loved how well this was made!!!! Great work little lady!

Hi all! I just made a new post with a different link to the video. Would those of you having issues with this page try that link out? I apologize for the technical difficulties! Xx

I found to play the video use the desktop site not the mobile app.

Hi there I'm afraid the video says it doesn't exist for me either (in the UK) X

Great video! Is there or will there be a pattern for the sweater you are wearing? 😍

I’m having issues seeing the video as well.

for the skirt length measurement you can reverse the tape so that the beginning of the tape in at the hemline and your desired length number is at the waist. you can then pinch it and read without bending.

Me, too!

Me too!

I seem to be having an issue accessing the video. It says it doesn't exist.
