Increasing the Front Width from Across the Armholes
What do you do when the “across-front” area is too small or tight, but you’re happy with the shoulder position?
If you’ve ever had this issue, follow these steps to correct the across-front width.
Step-by-Step Correction for Across-Front Width
- Cut your sample on the armhole along the across-front area on both the left and right armholes.
- Tape and pin the amount that was missing.
- Move around to make sure it’s comfortable. When satisfied, measure the amount you’ve taped open.
- On your pattern, add to the armhole the amount you’ve taped open in the across-front area.
- This adjustment slightly reduces the armhole measurement. You may need to slash and close the sleeve in the same area to fit the new armhole.
That’s it! Super easy and quick to correct.
