- This week I've got a really quick video that I hope you’ll find truly helpful.
It answers a question from Kelly who wanted to know how to measure her shoulder slope. A quick google search will give you several options. You can trace your shoulder line onto a piece of paper taped to the wall or use an iPhone app to determine the degree of slant. I personally haven’t found these to be very accurate because you usually need a helper to work with you, so I rely on the sample fit assessment to tell me what the shoulder slope should be.
Once you have a sample a garment that fits your shoulder angle, you can record that information for future use. So today I’m going to show you how to measure the shoulder slope on a pattern so that you can use the information for future sewing sewing projects.
Once you watch the video and understand how to measure the shoulder slope on a pattern you can convert this information to degrees if needed by using a protractor. To fuel yourself with even more knowledge I suggest you review your best fitting patterns and determine the shoulder slope that works best for you and use the information on all your future projects.
Have a great week!
All My Best,

Good information! Thank you.
Wow
Would I do this before or after I’ve altered the pattern for a forward shoulder? Or does it even matter?
The order of shoulder adjustments don't matter much because one change will affect the other. Measure the shoulder slope after all fitting is complete so you have a guide for the correct shoulder slope for you. Watch the next video for how to determine the degree of shoulder slope for more info.
Where is the link to the guide?
