Part 7 – Body Measurements
This video shows how to take body measurements, choose a pattern, and purchase the notions and supplies.
Body Measurements
On a piece of paper write down the following:
With a soft cloth or vinyl tape measure:
Bust = Measure around the fullest part of the bust.
Waist = Measure around the waist
Hips = Measure the fullest part of the hips.
These are the three basic measurements when picking out a pattern.

I have many memories of my mother and the projects that we created. Here's to you creating many sewing projects and some beautiful memories of your own.
