Measurements; How To Read Them

Okay !

Kind of embarrassing, but ! if I needed to know, chances are so would other people.

So I got fed up with not knowing how big things were as I didn’t know / forgot how to read a ruler (yes-yes, I know).

This video below is actually very helpful and the best I’ve found so far. It breaks everything down. To get right to the part about the measurements, skip the video timeline to 1:52.

So now, hopefully, when you see these types of measurements you won’t be lost 🙂
