I hope that makes sense! For the blouse in the post, I started with 1/2" on either side and felt I could even go up to 3/4". I never did get around to adjusting my Archer pattern! <br /><br />If that's still unclear, let me know and I will try to figure out a different way to explain. :-)Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-30897641175645967932018-05-11T10:48:51.556-05:002018-05-11T10:48:51.556-05:00I am working on the Love Notions Laundry Day T-Shi...I am working on the Love Notions Laundry Day T-Shirt. The first one I made twisted terribly toward the front due to my outwardly rotating elbows. I do want to make a second shirt. How do I determine how much to adjust on both sides? It's not clear as to how you determined that.

Making the forward shoulder adjustment made it worse. Your fix is basically shifting the grain line a bit backwards, isn't it? I was wondering if I should try that.

I have exactly the same problem and thought also it stemmed from my forward thrusting shoulder joint. (I own that book as well and concur over the bizarre organisation. I'm still working through my fitting issues and hadn't found this fix) Thank you so much; I'm looking forward to trying out this solution on my next garment.

Yes, I don't think it will be too hard to transfer to the Archer - probably just a matter of putting on one of my shirts and assessing where everything needs to go. And if it doesn't work out on the first try, I can always go back to rolling up those sleeves! I'm pretty used to it!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-71909313929670402402015-12-06T15:18:34.908-06:002015-12-06T15:18:34.908-06:00Thanks, Sarah!Thanks, Sarah!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-37991248727739470862015-12-06T15:18:25.350-06:002015-12-06T15:18:25.350-06:00Hehehe!
