In this class, I will be showing you how to solve this cute wrapped up with an explanation for the free version that I have created. Hello everyone. My name is Kelly, and welcome back to my class.

Let's get into the sewing tutorial of all free version of this wrapped up. 2. Body Measurement & Size Chart: Taking your measurements is the first step in making a garment that fits properly. To find your size measured the following circumferences of your body, chest, waist, and hip. And measure the fullest part of your boss by making sure the measuring tape is parallel to the ground, proceed in the same way at the waist. These measurements should be taken at the narrowest part of your waist. And finally, the hip measurement should be taken at the fullest part of your heap and rare. Once you have found your measurement, compare them with the size chart that I have put together by countries. You can easily find your size by looking at the measurement on the top left, chest, waist, and hips. Choose the size that matches the most your measurements. The measurements off your chest and heaps are the most important. 3. Grading a Pattern: You will have to use a few guidelines that will help you with grading the existing pattern to your size. For example, to build the size eight for UK, Australia, New Zealand, or size for, for the US. You will have to follow the steps I am going to show you. Bear in mind that we will not include the seam allowances. They will have to be added during the cutting process. We will start with the front bodies. This is the size six and this is how the size eight will have to look like. For the shoulder line, measure nine millimeters or 0.45 inches upwards from this 0.1.5 millimeters or 0.059 inches to the left, and put a dot measure eight millimeters or 0.41 inches upwards from the shoulder line at the arm hole and four millimeters or 0.15 inches to the left and put another dot.

And ten millimeters or 0.49 inches to the left, measure 9.5 millimeters or 0.47 inches upwards from the side seam and five millimeters or 0.19 inches to the left.

Ten millimeters or 0.49 inches to the right. Now that you have your main points, you will have to join them and recreate the body sees outline. This is how the shape is supposed to look like.

Now let's create the front bottom. As this piece will be cut on fold, you will have to grade only the half of it. Measure ten millimeters or 0.49 inches to the left from the side seam of the bus line. Repeat this step from the corner of the hip line. As all the points stay the same as for the size six. There is no need to mark them. Now joined the four points and recreate the front bottom. And this is how your pattern should look like. Apply the same technique for all the other sizes. And you will have this outcome grading the back. As this piece will be cut on fall, you will have to grid only the half of it to build the neckline measure five millimeters or 0.19 inches upwards from the middle of the neck line.
