Thank you, this is terrific. If the kids didn’t give us tummies, Covid isolation sure did. I’m going to do this today for my pants project.
Glad it was helpful! ... I think I have a tummy from both things... Thanks for fitting along with me
Thank you. It’s a brilliant adjustment and your video explained the process as well as the rationale behind it. 👌
So happy to help! Thanks so much for watching
Thank you for all your fabulously helpful videos!
You are so welcome! Thank you for following along with me
Fascinating and so clearly described.
Glad you think so! Thanks for fitting along with me
Thanks so much! This was a fantastic and helpful video.
Thanks so much... and thanks for watching
Quite helpful. I’m going to spend the next couple days trying it out!
So sorry for the delayed response. ... I hope it worked out for you!
Brilliant. Thank you
You're very welcome! Happy New Year!
Great tutorial
Thank you!
This is just what I need! I sent you a FB message about a class. Thanks
Yay! I’ll check out your message ... thanks, Jen
This is exactly what I need currently. I know you posted this one a year ago, but I didn't need it then, lol
Happy to hear this helps!! Thanks for fitting along with me!
You ROCK!
Thanks!
Can you do a video on how to do a prominent tummy adjustment on the skirt/ bodice and dress. Would love to see how it's done on these items. 😊
Sorry for the delayed response! Here's a tutorial showing how to make room for a tummy in a shirt... You can use this technique for dresses and skirts too. Thanks for fitting along with me!
@@JSternDesigns where could I find the video that would work for a skirt also?
So helpful as usual - just commenting to say I appreciate your teaching style!
So sorry for the delayed response... Thank you for your kind words.

❤ la ringrazio. È veramente molto brava!
Grazie per esserti unito a me!
Thank you for this video. I have a prominent tummy and thin legs. It's hard to buy RTW pants that don't look like clown pants. I will absolutely try this tip.
You are so welcome! Keep me posted if you need more help! Thanks for fitting along with me.
What a simple, but great adjustment; can this be used to adjust tummy area on a legging pattern and a jean skirt?
Yes, you can use this adjustment to make tummy room in any pant or skirt that has a CF seam ...keep in mind that if you’re working with a stretch pattern, you may bony need to add as much (what you’re added stretches bigger) :)
This is amazing! I just did this adjustment on a pair of pants I've been working on. I have a couple of questions. 1) Do I redraw the grainline coming from the lower part up because I see now that it is crooked after the adjustments. 2) My side seam is also crooked so should I straighten it out? TIA
Thanks! Yes, extend the grainline below the adjustment to extend it back up straight. You can true up the side seam by smoothing the crooked part. Lay the front/back legs on top of each other so you can see both side seams next to each other.. Smooth the front to agree with the shape of the back side seam... If need to trim off a significant amount... split it up and trim some off the front and add some to the back to maintain the measurement. Hope this helps, thanks for fitting along with me
thanks a lot for your tutorials. I have a prominent tummy + a tilted forward front (i also watched your video). Which adjustment should I do first?
Is there a list somewhere of your tutorials. you have made so many it's difficult to find what I need (pants fitting - my nightmare fitting-- and round upper aging back.
:) Do this first: ruclips.net/video/QvhocHFRPGU/видео.html This tilted waistline method not only shortens the front rise, it also lengthens the back rise (which is usually necessary because it's not just the waistline that's tilted, it's your pelvis, so the back is usually longer). Then follow this to adjust for your tummy: ruclips.net/video/9fJzcYFBQEM/видео.html (If you need expand your waistline for your tummy, this tutorial will also work well). Thanks for fitting along with me
My hips are narrow and my butt is flat. But my waist is average. I have had success by straightening out the hip to waist curve to make a bigger waist, but I think I may try the technique you show here.
After all, trouser pattern size should generally be chosen by hip measurement.
:) There are several ways to fit the waist and tummy area.. Let me know if you need more help with this! Thanks Jen
I’m creating a pants sloper and having problems moment tummy issues, the waist and low hip sewing to be right but I have the lines radiating from front to outer edge at the abdomen, your adjustment looks like a great idea. I just don’t know how much to add, since the pattern is made with my own measurements. Suggestion?
If you allow the CF to open until it feels comfortable, the gap between the edges is the amount you need to add :) Thanks for fitting along with me
Hi Jen, thank you for all your videos! Would you do this adjustment for leggings (tight fit) or yoga pants (close but not super tight fit) if tummy is not super huge but noticeable? Or is it only needed for woven pants?
For yoga pants or leggings, I like to use a compression knit so the front leg and waistband act as a tummy control panel. :)
@@JSternDesigns Can you talk about where you source your compression knit from…as well as what fabric content and other features you look for in a good compression knit for yoga pants and yoga waistbands. Thank you so much for all the great information you share!
This is wonderful. Thank you so much. I have a couple of questions 1. Does this work on pants with a dart? 2. My waist is 44 and my hip is 49. How much do I add to a pattern if the waist measure is 39 waist/50 hip? This particular pattern doesn't have darts. Would I add 2 1/2 in on each side?
Yes, you can use this technique with pants that have a dart. As for how much you need to add, I think the first thing I would do is blend between sizes so the waistline is closer to your body measurement... For example if you are working with a size 18 for the full hip... blend to size 20 at the waistline. Then split the total amount in half and add that. If you are working with the pattern to make your first fit muslin, the goal is to have enough ease to get it on your body so you can fine-tune the fit based on how the muslin fits! Thanks for fitting along with me.
@@JSternDesigns Awesome! Thank you so much!
Love this adjustment but I have a quick question. When you added the quarter inch at the crotch, doesn’t it throw off the grainline because it was only added at the crotch?
That's a great question! The vertical grainline is in the center of the leg from the hem to the knee. After that, all bets are off. The vertical grainline may be closer to the side or cf edge based on your shape. Hope that helps!
Will this tehnique work for pants, shorts & skirts made of stretch fabric?
Yes, you can use this fit adjustment with patterns designed for stretch fabric... but keep in mind that you may need a little bit less of an adjustment because the fabric stretches :) Thanks for watching
How did you determine that you needed an inch opening adjustment?
For this example, I used an inch. To determine how much you need, notice how much the cf does not close and use half that amount ... You can also add a little extra if you want more ease. Thanks for fitting along with me
First time I have come across this adjustment. I f I measure 48 inches around my tummy when I stand up and 54 when I sit what should I do to adjust my pattern" I would be extremely grateful for your help,, as I've rearing my hair out.
…thanks so much for checking in! That’s an excellent question … I’m putting it on my short list of upcoming video tutorials! Stay tuned
You could try adjusting for the 54 waist measurement on pattern and then put elastic in the back to bring it in to 48”. Just brainstorming here.
If one has a prominent tummy, wouldn't it be better to place the zipper along the back seam or the side seam? The zipper adds bulk which would be hidden in the back.
That's a great idea, you could put the zipper somewhere other than center front... If the design of the pant really needs a front fly, a cut-on front fly (fly pieces are one piece with the leg pieces) + a nylon zipper gives you the least bulky result.
I'm surprised the fashion industry hasn't caught on that women don't say, "my tummy isn't big enough - let's add a bulky zipper covered with a flap." I believe there was a time when zippers were in the back or side. Not sure why it switched.
Hi I think this is what I need but not sure. I tried SO Many different things and not fixing my issue. Is there any way to send you a photo of my mock up cotton pants to see if this is the adjustment I need. This is my first pattern I drafted from my measurements.
That's exciting! Keep me posted if you need help!
Is there a limit of how big of an adjustment you can do? I have done a muslin and it’s showing I need to add 3inches. Is this too much to try and add?
If you need to add 3" across the entire front, that's really not a lot. You can create a couple slashes and spread them 3/4"... that adds up to 3". If you need to add 3" on each side, I think I would let out the side seam in addition to doing this adjustment to help maintain the shape of the pattern. Hope this helps!
How to determine the amount of added width in the pant top?
You can compare the pattern measurement to your body measurement... Or if you made a fit muslin, look to see how much the center front edge is pulling away from your center front. Hope this helps! Thanks for fitting along with me
Since we are adding length to the top, do i need to add length to my back piece as well?
That's a great question! This adjustment keeps the side seam the same length, so there's no need to lengthen the back! Thanks for fitting along with me
Could you do a tutorial for a full tummy on a mans casual shirt I have had to add 4” to my husbands shirt it has worked quite well except it now flares slightly at the sides not sure how to correct this.
Thanks for checking in with a great question... Stay Tuned... How to add room for a full tummy in tomorrow's Fit Tip Tuesday!
Laughing... I am going to call this adjustment; Covid Bread Spread.
The side seam is now longer. Do we adjust the back panel to match?
Thanks Jennifer!
:)))) side seam is not longer... match the to cut edges together ...spread at cf crotch a little bit if you think you need more room there :)
@@JSternDesigns Thanks Jennifer, your the best!
BTW, during the first lockdown it was nearly impossible to buy yeast to make your own bread. With the newest versions of Covid out and about, I thought I would pass on my own Fab Tip Tuesday... Just in case!
Filtered water, some sugar and a couple of Dates work just as well as yeast! One of our RUclips contributors for Germany taught me that.
It's called Yeast Water. Takes about 3 days to ferment enough to use, but most of us have time on our hands, and sometimes dough.
Make it a great one J!
I have completed this adjustment but now my waist is one inch bigger. How do I fix that? Take in the side seams? My pattern doesn't have any darts, would I add a couple 9f small darts?
Try taking in the side seams to see if you can remove the excess ease without pulling the fabric too much off grain. If that works yay! If not you can add fisheye waist darts... and, you can adjust the adjustment to remove the extra inch of ease.
@@JSternDesigns thanks. I will try that.
I'm a little late to the party, but....if I'm starting with a new pattern and I know I have a chubby tummy, how do I determine how much of an adjustment to make?
Measure across your tummy... then measure across the pattern at the tummy level... Find the difference in the measurements and add as much as you need to achieve a comfortable fit. ...Hope this helps, thanks for fitting along with me!
@@JSternDesigns Thanks so much for the speedy reply! Once I finish this quilt, I'm off to pattern land! :D
How did you know to add 1”?
The top of my first muslin had a 2” gap @ CF :)
