Upsizing this top front
snuzal Intermediate NEW ZEALAND Member since 7/7/07 Posts: 667	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/13/12 7:30 PM I'm wanting to make new look 6915, but only goes up to 18 and I need it to be bigger. the back I can work out myself, using a sandra betzina book I think it is, but the front has me stumped. Where would you cut/add to it to make the whole thing bigger overall. ------ Check my blog :) http://snuzalsews.blogspot.com/ Juki Exceed F600, Babylock Imagine, Janome 300E.

Then I'd measure out more lines. This is a pretty simple top with no visible darts so it should be easy to do. You already have a start by the three sizes shown; just keep drawing more lines out in the same fashion as they appear on the pattern. Then make a muslin. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

So fantastic! Thanks! The length won't need a lot of changing since I'm short and everything is always far too long for me. Thanks heaps!!!! ------ Check my blog :) http://snuzalsews.blogspot.com/ Juki Exceed F600, Babylock Imagine, Janome 300E.

First muslin worked just about perfectly. need to add on a wee bit more for my hips and tummy, but it fits now, so I'm over the moon.
