How to do a Sway Back Adjustment with No Center Back Seam

This week on Fit Tip Tuesday I'm sharing a pattern adjustment that I used to fit the pattern with a student in my Tee Fit class last weekend. If you have a sway back, it's likely the fabric of your top can puddle in the small of your back. This happens because the fabric of your top is hanging from your shoulders and does not follow the curve of your sway back. Because the fabric is "skipping the curve" it ends up being too long at CB. If you have a center back seam, it's easy to slash the pattern horizontally from CB to side seam and overlap the CB edge to get rid of the excess length. If your pattern doesn't have a CB seam... The first step of the adjustment is the same. Today I'm going to show you now to straighten the CB seam after removing the excess ease... Spoiler Alert! We're not going to straighten the seam by just trimming off the shape created by overlapping the CB seam! 00:00 Intro and Upcoming Zoom Classes (The last of the year!) 03:19 The magic of a small in-person class 05:00 How to do a Sway Back Adjustment with a CB seam 08:46 How to Adjust a Top Pattern Doesn't have a CB Seam 16:52 Outro If you would like to stay in touch, sign up below for my monthly newsletter.
