How to Lengthen or Shorten a Sewing Pattern

Do you have a particularly long or short torso, legs or arms? If this sounds like you, you might want to consider lengthening or shortening your sewing patterns to get a better fit. This is one of the great things about sewing - you can adjust just the parts you need to get a garment to fit your unique shape. Tilly and the Buttons sewing patterns feature lines which indicate where to lengthen or shorten the sewing pattern from. The process is the same whether you’re lengthening a bodice, sleeve, skirt, trouser leg, or whatever the relevant pattern piece may be.
