    Thanks Sindhu for this detailed post. Love it when you say not to be ill, sad when taking measurements. Really thoughtful. Now that I feel a bit more comfortable sewing for my daughter, I might take the next step to try to sew for myself. This post is very helpful to take the next step for me. Thanks.

    Good tips here, Sindhu.
    You have rightly mentioned all the points. Haven’t done Self-measurement many times. A good tailor knows the correct fittings 🙂

    on the rare occasions i actually need to draft a pattern, I always get someone else to measure me. it is easier, with less awkward bending to hold the tape in place or find an accurate curve.
    for everything else, i trace a well fitting garment 😀

    Thanks for sharing your experiences Jaya 🙂 Yes, self measuring can be difficult at times… some tips can help to solve them 🙂 Ah! I have been tracing garments during my first sewing years (before studying fashion design), some 12 year ago!

    Thanks for your kind visit 🙂 TC! Keep smiling 🙂
