Learn how to measure yourself to make clothes that fit!

Summary

Hi, hello, I'm Sami! This is the big one: a full sit-down on how to measure yourself so the clothes you make actually fit your body. We go through the most common measurements, where to take them, and how to actually put those numbers to work when you're drafting and sewing. I'm sure I forgot something, so just let me know in the comments.

If you've ever made something that came out wildly too big, too tight, or just "off," this is the reference video to come back to before you cut into your fabric. Grab a soft tape measure and follow along.

  • Covers the most common body measurements you'll need for garment making.
  • Explains where to take each measurement so your numbers are actually accurate.
  • Shows how to translate measurements into clothes that fit, instead of guessing.
  • A beginner-friendly reference to keep handy for every future sewing project.
