ClaireF in CA said... Kwik Sew has a free fitting guide for their patterns - "Measuring and Basic Alterations". It's a 15 page pamphlet, and it does have a way to shorten an armhole, but not necessarily make it smaller. I hope this helps! 7/14/09 1:08 PM

Sewing Jane said... That top looks really good on you! I think we are close in size. I am working on Kwik Sew patterns too. Love them. 7/14/09 7:35 PM
Renren said... Good idea to highlight the instructions to avoid any "gotchas!". Also, I think we may sew at the same speed! I'm always amazed when people post they sewed something in a couple of hours. I can't even get my pattern cut out and one alteration done in two hours! Hey, that fitting guide Claire E. mentioned sounds like something I need to get my hands on! (Thanks, claire e.) And I do like your top very much. 7/14/09 8:29 PM
