In the sewing world, ease is the difference between the measurement of your body and the measurement of your garment. For woven non stretch fabrics, ease is necessary for a garment to fit comfortably. The amount of ease you need varies by pattern style and by your own preference. A purchased sewing pattern will have ease already figured into it, but you may find that you want to change that amount of ease.
Katrina from Katrina Kay Creations tells how to figure out how much ease has been added to a pattern, and also how to calculate how much to remove if you want a different amount of ease for your finished garment. Go to Katrina Kay Creations to read about calculating and removing ease.
