Description
09I'm gunna go ahead and put this in misc. crafts, instead of Happy Face.
I've seen a few different methods to re-size a top, but they all required lots of pins and I'd always either stick myself or have it come out funny. I think this is just alot easier.
This is my first tutorial so sorry if it sucks. n_n

I've seen this method in tutorials before, but it has always been confusing to me. This is really clear and easy to follow. Though I would probably cut the excess fabric off after I've sewn the new seams and tried it on, just to be sure it fits. But other than that, good tutorial!

Thank you ^_^ Another thing I kinda didn't do is seam allowance, so it is a tight fit.

Ive seen those tutorials too and they were a lot more complicated than I would like. This is easier for me to follow

Thank you. ^_^ If you have an uneven number you could round up- it'd only make an inch in difference for looseness, which some would prefer. For ladies you can just use your bra size. - - - - Sorry I don't have a picture of the whole side lines, I'll try to explain it. My measurements are Chest-38, Waist-35, Hips-45. Instead of adding all those divisions to the side lines, I just began with 19 in the chest & kept it going until I reached the top of my hips and drew the lines slanting outwards in a natural curvy shape. / \

Oh I see, but if I wanted to add all the measurements, I could right? as long as I got them in the right spot? lol Id better find a really old t-shirt for my first try!

lol Yup, just divide in half. To help get it in the right places, measure from your chest to your waist vertically and make markers at the two points, then from your waist to your hips. Hope that's not too confusing x3 I'd love to see anything if you make it!
