Shortening Patterns and Lengthening Patterns | Sewing Pattern Adjustment. Making adjustments to sewing patterns is straight forward, particularly if you’re looking to lengthen or shorten a particular piece.  It is a basic requirement that most sewers need to know.  In this tutorial I will demonstrate how to shorten and lengthen a sewing pattern and how using scrap paper or a bit scrap tissue from the sewing pattern itself can help.

In most cases, this technique will be used and repeated with the purchase of each and every sewing pattern because sewing patterns are drafted to industry standard measurements that most of us simply do not fit into.
