How To Add Seam Allowance To A Pattern {Step by step tutorial!)

Learn how to add seam allowance to a pattern with this step by step video pattern making tutorial!

The seam allowance on a sewing pattern is not set in stone! If you prefer a smaller or larger pattern seam allowance then knowing how to add seam allowance (or even trim seam allowance to create a custom seam allowance!) is key to sewing the right seams on your hand sewn items!

Whether you need to add seam allowance to a Burda pattern or are studying fashion design and the pattern drafting tasks are overwhelming you, adding seam allowances to sewing patterns isn't as hard as you're imagining - and this tutorial will teach you how!

Start by tracing patterns, and then measure seam allowance needed for each sewing pattern. Use a pattern master (my all time favourite pattern making tool!) for greater accuracy!

If you follow the steps in this video pattern making tutorial, you'll be all set!
