Would you love to sew your own Inara, but worried about the length? I've got you covered! If you take a look at the measurements chart for this robe, you will find the back neck to hem measurement. This will help you to determine if you'd like to lengthen or shorten your robe at all. Once you figure that out, come back here for these easy tutorials on how to hack the pattern to fit you better!

Lengthen the Inara:


Step 1: Gather the Front and Back pattern pieces. Line them up with the grainlines straight up and down, and the bottoms of the side seams even with each other. Draw a line 7" up from the bottom hem of the back pattern piece, and extend that line across the front as well.

Step 2: Cut across the line you drew and spread the top from the bottom of each pattern piece. Place an extra piece of paper behind the pattern pieces. Keeping the cut edges parallel to each other, add in as much length as you would like. Tape pattern pieces down in place.

Step 3: Redraw all the sides of the pattern pieces. The center front should just be straight up and down, but for the side seams draw a straight line from the bottom of the armscye to the side hem. Cut along those lines.

Step 2: Cut across the line you drew and overlap the bottom of each pattern piece onto each top section. Place an extra piece of paper behind the pattern pieces all along the side seams. Keep the cut edges parallel to each other, and overlap the amount of length you want to take out of the pattern. Tape pattern pieces down in place.
