line-height: 19px;\">My very first lesson in ease came when I was 17 and decided to make an outfit for my mom&#8217;s second wedding. \u00a0I had picked out a very pretty burgundy jacquard for a skirt and some white silky stuff for a top. \u00a0After carefully taking my measurements I designed and drafted my own patterns for both pieces. \u00a0I was so proud of myself that I&#8217;d even remembered to include seam allowances on the patterns. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So you can imagine my surprise when I tried to try on these two articles of clothing only to find that they were skin tight! \u00a0It wasn&#8217;t until much later that I figured out what the problem was&#8230; no wearing ease.<\/p>\n<p>(Sadly, I was accused of trying to look like a hussy at my mom&#8217;s wedding and was promptly sent to the local mall to buy a more appropriate garment. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t sew for <i>years<\/i> after that.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, you need to know about two types of ease, wearing ease and design ease. \u00a0Wearing ease is what makes it possible for us to wear non-stretch woven fabrics and be able to move &amp; breath in them. \u00a0You have to have a little room to breathe, twist and bend in order to be comfortable in your garments.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some general guidelines for wearing ease:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" frame=\"VOID\" rules=\"NONE\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"110\" \/>\n<col width=\"127\" \/>\n<col width=\"86\" \/>\n<col width=\"86\" \/>\n<col width=\"145\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"5\" align=\"CENTER\" width=\"553\" height=\"17\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">Misses&#8217;

So it only has wearing ease, not design ease.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s how you figure it:<\/p>\n<p>body measurement + wearing ease + design ease = finished garment measurement<\/p>\n<p>Now, the next time you look at a pattern envelope, just ignore the size chart. \u00a0Instead look for a chart of finished garment sizes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/pattern-back-for-sizing-info.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pattern-back-for-sizing-info\" src=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/pattern-back-for-sizing-info.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On this pattern back you find the finished garment measurements at the bottom, below the yardage charts. \u00a0This pattern even kindly tells you that they include design and wearing ease.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you&#8217;ll find finished garment measurements on the pattern envelope flap or printed on the tissue pattern. \u00a0Occasionally I&#8217;ve found them on the pattern maker&#8217;s web site. \u00a0 And, sometimes, you&#8217;ll just have to measure the flat pattern (don&#8217;t forget to subtract the seam allowances.)<\/p>\n<p>So now, instead of being frustrated, not knowing which is the right size to sew, just pick the size with measurements that match your body measurements plus preferred wearing and design ease. \u00a0Simple, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to happy sewing AND getting a good fit!<\/p>\n<p>P.S. \u00a0To my regular readers, sorry for having been so long between posts. \u00a0My father passed away and life has gotten quite complicated. \u00a0Like, as in, I might have to write a book about it someday complicated. \u00a0Seriously, it&#8217;s quite a mess.

Crafting, sewing and making things with my hands have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I\u2019ve often been asked to teach my crafts, and have found I love doing so. My online tutorials, in PDF and video, as far as I\u2019m concerned, are the ultimate teaching tools. Be sure to subscribe so you don\u2019t miss a thing. It\u2019s my hope that with every post you will come away enriched and inspired to take what you\u2019ve learned and make it your own. If I do that, I consider myself successful.","sameAs":["http:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/KeepsakeCraftsCreate\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sandysewin","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/sandysewin","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/keepsakecraftssandyhuntress"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4769"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5003,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4769\/revisions\/5003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
