Step 4: Marking the Armholes

  1. Lay the fabric out flat (unfolded, but with the shoulders aligned). You should have a long rectangle with a hole in the middle for the neck.
  2. Measure down from the shoulder point. The distance you measure down determines the size of your armhole. Usually, 8-9 inches down from the shoulder is sufficient for a comfortable fit.
  3. Measure the width of the armhole. On the folded side (the side where the selvage is), mark a point about 4-5 inches in from the edge.
  4. Draw a curved "C" shape connecting the shoulder point to the underarm point.
  5. Cut out the curve. Repeat for the other side.

Step 1: Taking Measurements

You need three key measurements:

  1. Shoulder to Shoulder: The distance from the tip of one shoulder to the other.
  2. Chest/Bust: The circumference around the fullest part of your chest. Divide this by 4 for your quarter measurement.
  3. Length: From the shoulder point down to where you want the top to end (hip or thigh length).
