Lesson 3
Transferring Your Toile Adjustments To Your Pattern

Lesson 3 is just an extension of Lesson 2.  More of a CHECK LIST that you've got all your pattern pieces adjusted and matching before you cut your pattern out of your beautiful fabric.

Let's get started.

Here's What You'll Achieve Today

  • Transferring all your Toile Adjustments to your pattern
Step 1 - Have you transferred all the adjustments you made to your Bodice Toile to your pattern?  If you have a lined bodice you'll be using this pattern to cut your lining.
Step 2  -  Do you have Bodice Facings?
  • Yes - Go to Step 3
  • No - Go to Step 1
Step 3 - If you have Bodice Facings you'll need to do the same adjustments you did to the Bodice.
  • If you did a Gaping Neck Adjustment to your Bodice you'll need to do the same adjustment to the Facing.
  • If you did a Across Chest/Back Adjustment to your Bodice you'll need to do the same adjustment to the Facing.
  • If you did a Shoulder Adjustment to your Bodice you'll need to do the same adjustment to the Facing.
  • If you too cm's off your shoulder line to make it fit snug you'll need to do the same to the facing.
Step 4 - Once you've made the adjustment to the Facings you'll need to place the facing pattern pieces over your bodice pattern pieces to make sure they are the same.

Do the Facing and Bodice pieces match?
  • Yes - Go to Step 5
  • No - Adjust the Facing pieces accordingly and go to Step 5
Step 5 - Did you adjust the waist on your Bodice pattern?
  • Yes - go to Step 6
  • No - go to Step 7
Step 6 - If you made adjustment to your bodice waist you'll need to do exactly the same to the waist on the skirt.
Step 7 - Use the measurement of the skirt length from your measurement form to determine if you need to adjust the length of your skirt.

Do you need to adjust the length of the skirt?
  • Yes - go to Step 8
  • No - Go to Lesson 4
Step 8 - If you need to adjust the length of the skirt please refer to your pattern instructions on page 13.
