I've been sewing since dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I've blamed myself since then because I've always had a blip and I thought it was because of my way of cutting or drafting. Thank you, thank you! I can now safely stitch across the blip with confidence.
I had the same problem at the crotch when sewing my pants!! Thanks a lot for talking about truing the patterns!. Also I had a similar issue with sewing my bodice at the shoulder and armhole seams.
Does stitching across the blip affects the fit?! Like could it reduce the length of the crotch curve? So do I need to increase it some where above the hip.
It's my first time cutting a trouser I really didn't know what to do but with your lessons am learning thanks a lot and GOD bless you so that I can learn more from you.
Thanks Glenda! I saw this in perfect timing! I am getting ready to sew my pants and this confirms what I thought I needed to do in that area. By the way - I love the top you are wearing in the video. Is there a fashion leaflet for it?
@Lori Prouhet - Glad this information was beneficial. Sorry I don't have a leaflet for the top. It's very simple. It's a knit (with silk) - just a basic pull over with a slit at the center front...that's it.
I have this problem also so thank you for this tutorial. I actually just finished redoing my pants pattern so I will go back & fix things. Waiting on some fabric to make a couple pairs of pants. So while I’m waiting I just finished doing my shirt front & back pattern for first time and working on the sleeve part. Everything matched up with the front & back with exception of 1/8 inch on front & back side seams. I think the front sleeve cap may give me a fit and yes I’ve looked at your tutorials on fixing it. Back sleeve cap matched the shirt back exactly so I probably need to add 1/2 inch ease. I think front sleeve cap is a booger because I had to use 32 for neck and 44 for bust. I’ll get it though with help of your tutorials.
@Victoria Hannah - thanks so much for your comments. If the only thing off is 1/8" - then you're doing well. And yes, you do need to have some back cap ease, however on the shirt kit sleeve about 1/4-3/8" is all you need. Happy New Year to you.
Wonderful information. Thank you! Do you have to add the extra length back into your inseam after you true the blip? I ask because my blip is quite big. Love all your content!
Thank you Glenda! I have found no one else explaining this…this was so valuable to m!
@Tracie - you are most welcome. I'm so glad this information was of such value for you.

@SleighRich - I'm glad this information was beneficial. No, you don't add it back to the inseam.
That happens to me all the time. I probably asked you how to fix it years ago.
@Shine - Now you know how to deal with it - Happy New Year!
