Date: 2021-09-03

In today's video, I'll be showing you how to lengthen or shorten the bodice of a sewing pattern. The same techniques can be used when altering the length of a blouse or shirt. I'll demonstrate how to make the pattern adjustment using my Miri Tank pattern and give some tips for when you're lengthening a top into a dress. Side note: How much you adjust the length will depend on the pattern, your personal measurements and personal preference.
