Partner, shortening/lengthening

list In Alterations & Pattern hackings On

The Partner overalls are drafted for an average hight of 168 cm so if you differ from that, you might need to do some pattern adjustments. Lengthening and shortening your pattern pieces is pretty straighforward, find the lengthen/shorten lines and apply your length changes between them.

Line 1: you will want to work from this line if you need to alter the rise (length between the waist and the full hips).  

Line 2: you will want to work from this line if you need to alter leg length.

If you have a long or short rise you may want to only adjust the upper portion using the line 1. Maybe your rise fits great but you have long legs, in that case you’d want to adjust the lower portion using the line 2. If you’re proportioned evenly but are just taller or shorter than the pattern is drafted for then we recommend splitting the amount you need to adjust between the upper and lower adjustment lines. If you are really really taller/shorter than the pattern average hight, you may want to ajust the bib too, this applies only if there is a big difference between your hight and the pattern hight.

1 - Select, print and cut the pattern pieces to your size. 

2 - Cut along the shorten/lengthen line, separating the pattern into two pieces.

3 - Lay a sheet of paper down with the pattern pieces on top of it and line up the pattern's grain lines. Tape your pattern pieces down to the paper (or, if shortening, to each other).

4 -  Blend the curve or straight edge to connect either edge of the pattern. Cut your new pattern piece. Repeat for the pocket facings.

Bonjour,

C'est toujours mieux de faire vos ajustements après une toile effectivement mais vous pouvez aussi le faire avant.

Je fais 160 cm en stature aussi et je n'ai enlevé que 1 ou 1.5 cm en montant (ligne bleu) et 2 cm en longueur de jambe (ligne verte ) si ma mémoire est bonne. Cela dépend de votre morphologie. Avec une salopette, vous ne prenez pas trop de risque car les bretelles sont ajustables ;-)

Très bonne couture, Raphaëlle

PS: pour des questions importantes qui demandent une réponse assez rapide, je vous invite à me contacter plutôt par email, je réponds du lundi au vendredi.

bonjour
je vais coudre la salopette Partner mais je voulais savoir si les ajustements sont à faire après avoir fait une toile car je mesure 1,60m et je ne sais pas vraiment de combien réduire la salopette et à quel niveau ?
merci d'avance pour votre réponse et je tenais juste à vous remercier pour les patrons et les explications
