MEASURING TOOLS
Sewing measuring tools are essential for pattern
alterations and body measurements. To ensure a good
garment fit, measurements should be taken accurately.
There are some measuring tools that should be part of
every sewing box.
Examples of
Measuring Tools
Tape Measure
A good, flexible tape measure of at least 60 inches or 150
centimeters on the other side is needed to take body
measurements throughout the garment construction process.
Although the tape measure should be flexible, it should be
stretchy. It is used not only to measure garments but to
measure creations for home decor projects as well. This tool
is also used for pattern adjustments.
Tape Measure
Ruler
A ruler measuring 12 inches or even 18 inches, either
clear or solid, is a useful tool for measuring and
drawing straight seam lines and cutting lines. It also
aids in connecting lines. A clear plastic ruler is used for
quilting and pattern creation and alteration. It is also
used for marking buttonholes.
Ruler
Yardstick
A yardstick is made of smooth, shellacked
hardwood or metal. It is used for marking
hemlines and checking grainlines when laying
out the pattern.
Yardstick
Sewing Gauge
This small ruler has a sliding guide and is about 6
inches long. This is used for measuring the
hemlines, buttonholes, and areas where other
small measurements require checking such as
pleats and tucks. This gauge is usually made of
metal.
Sewing Gauge
Hem Gauge
This is a measuring tool
used to measure the correct
hem for a piece of clothing
or linen.
French Curve
This is a measuring tool used in drafting curves in the
pattern of the arm, neckline, and crotch.
Tailor’s Square
This is used for drawing straight lines and true right angles.
Curve stick

or necklines and armholes
