When adding 1cm or more for c-d cups, do I add the parallel right of the line? You didn't say so explicitly, but I just wanted to be sure before I assumed incorrectly.

This is Easy!? Jesus...Ive no hope.

Notch tool..why do you need one?

Thank you so much for this video! This is the solution I need to change a half circle skirt with only side and back seams to 7/8 panels princess seamed (front center, side fronts, back (2) with center back seam and zip, and back sides). I am making a dress with princess seamed bodice and half circle skirt. But I am sewing with shantung. The pattern instructions call for cutting on the cross grain for all pieces. Except that would turn the slubs in the fabric from horizontal to vertical and I don't think I want to do that. Also, the larger the section, the greater the uneven settling of the fabric that is on the bias. I found your website and RUclips channel while searching for instructions to cut a multi-panel half circle skirt. Your instruction to fold the individual panels in half lengthwise to find the center which is the grainline is priceless. Thank you again. Dee Dee

This is amazing 😍😍 Congrats on getting it done and filmed. Thank you so much!

Hi, Eve, love the tool role! Your video is so clear. Can't wait to sew mine!

Guido Hofenbitzer has translated his first pattern making book in English, if you really want to learn pattern making on a scientific level, I think he used the MÜLLER & SOHN system. He also refers to the Armstrong book as well. It's a hefty book, worth more than the price.

Anntonio Donnanno has a new book on Men's wear coming out just about now. Do you sew for others and for a living?

The old pattern making books from Natalie Bray are worth their weight in gold too. I have the first one Dress Pattern Design and More Dress Pattern Design.....please don't hold me to the exact name but they are both from Natalie Bray. I took it upon myself to read both books from cover to cover and the information just blew my brain. i shopped in Oxford St. at a book store that had every possible book......almost on fashion design...that's how I came upon Shoben's books so I took a train to Islington and found the school they ran. Mind you it was 2015 thereabouts. I purchased that same ruler there but I still had the books I had purchased in Oxford Street with me. So funny because I found the information of the school and address in the Shoben books. Winifred Aldrich is one of my faves too. I'm in Europe so I have access to most pattern making systems and did a year course I think it was 690 hours of Patternmaking. It was grueling but I did it for me, to free me up from commercial patterns. It completely took my fear of commercial patterns away. Just reading Harumi Maruyama books when I decided to come online to see if there are videos of her work.

Hi, do you have suggestions for doing a basic bodice pattern without darts? Thxs

Just what I needed, I’m putting in some squinty welt pockets on a coat rather than the patch pockets on the pattern. Did a practice using your tutorial and aced it. Thanks ❤

Do you happen to know how big the opening is with this pattern? I'm trying to make a canvas advent calendar because all of the ones online through Amazon and Etsy have really small pockets. I was thinking I could make 24 accordion pockets like this and then sew them onto a larger panel of fabric that I'd hang with a dowel. Edit to add that it seems like the pattern link is broken.

great job love it

Perfectly shown and expertly narrated Thank you. This was extremely helpful!

Thank you sooo much.

I have been so stressed figuring out how to do this 😭😭😭 but your video (even a year after you’ve posted) is still the best explanation I’ve seen 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I love it. Can you do a video on drafting a rolled collar? Maybe another on a hood? Thanks for these videos. Well done!

This is the first time i able to understand the reglan sleeve pattern, i've watch part 1 and it's very helpful and clear. Thank you so much ❤

I love this video and thank you for sharing this. I will buy the templates on Wednesday, as today is Monday. 10/14/24. I have a question, when making the panels, would it make a difference if the straight of grain is in the middle or to one side of the panel? Thank again for this wonderful tutorial!!!

Amazing...💙💙💙

Enjoyed your tutorial as another way to tackle a sleeve pattern. It is easy to remember too and wonderful to see how you can correct the curves slightly to achieve the ease you need. The method I learned was a quarter-fold one as well -- the difference being the cap was also folded in half (from top of cap to bicep line) to create an intersection line with the quarter-folds. Then you apply a few other measurements to make guidelines to draw in your curves (with a french curve). I think I can integrate your method with my existing one as yours also provides the pitch points that determine good placement for the notch markings. Thank you so much for sharing this!

this tutorial was soooo easy to understand, thank u 🧚🏼‍♀️

Can you possible your spreet sheet with your own drafting measurements then i will try to one page this pattern then my concept all clear i am a new this line

l Love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤veryyyyyyyyy much

lm veryyyyyyyyy happy and lm proud of you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😘😘😘😘😘

The book 'Pattern making for fashion design' is a great book and resource. However, mine fell a part very quickly and the book is exspensive. It is a very bad quality made book. I would recommend buying the ring bound version as the book binding and paper quality is very poor quality especially for the price for the soft bound version.

Would love some more information regarding fit and concepts to keep in mind when considering fit etc.

Hello Eve, Thanks a lot for your free videos. I am interested in learning how to sew, where do I start please? Thanks.

Hi… can you please make video about transforming from basic bodice pattern to a shirt or blouse pattern?like the pink shirt you are wearing. I am still confused. If I wanted to draft a shirt from my basic bodice pattern, I added 4cm on the bust length, do I need to draw the shirt armhole line a bit lower than the basic bodice pattern armhole line ?

Hi.. so glad to come across your channel. I am learning drafting my own pattern from youtube. I got problems on the sleeve. I tried your method. I got 1.3cm ease for the back sleeve pattern but for the front sleeve, no ease, just exactly the same length as the front armhole length. I tried to adjust it but could not adjust. So I just cut and saw it. I turned out good. I am satisfied with the results. Thanks so much for sharing.

FYI, folks can also just send their shoes to a Cobbler to have it done.

Que buen trazo sobre diseño, muchas gracias 😊

Where does one even start. I love Japanese cloths etc. would love to make something. Do you have any beginner tutorials. Male fan of Japanese wear

Thank you so much for an amazing tutorial! May I ask, if I would like to create a collar for a dress that I already own and don’t have a pattern for, will the measuring work the same if I measure the existing neck instead of from a pattern? And please could you link your video where you create a full collar without opening? Or is it just to reuse the same pattern, fold the fabric on the front neck side on the pattern, and then just sew together the back neck sides together? I am trying to design a kind of cowl/funnel neck and stumbles a little with it since the top of the collar closest to the chin cannot be less wide than the actual necklines width to fit my head in.

How can I get the book

I am so excited to have found your channel

Amazing!

I'm so happy that I found your video and channel! I love the idea of changing collars and sleeves of dress and shirt patterns that I like! I literally was looking for a peter pan collared shirt pattern the other day and couldn't find one that I liked. Now I know how to modify the collar of the dress pattern that I already have! Thank you!!!!

This is super useful!! If there a reason why the curve pivoting uses that 3/4 in? (i.e. is that related to how you've drafted the neckline, so a different drafting method would need a different pivot? or is it just a pleasant curve)

This is a brilliant tutorial. Thanks so much. Will catch up on all your other videos now!

It’s near 10 pm I have been working on making a dress, using two pattern I have cut out the skirt pieces and gathered them but I need to make a bodice design for the top. I also have a band to attach to the bottom part and connect to the top. Do you have any suggestions

This is a fantastic video, thank you. At the end you said you thought you’d need a little extra room and you were going to cut across and down. Can you explain how you’re going to do this? Thanks again.

Hi. do you have written instructions for drafting a sleeve to fit any armhole? The sleeve sloper is for a specific bodice and I am adjusting a shop bought pattern. Thanks very much

May i ask what you would change if you wanted to do this for a floor length 1 length (no train at back) tulle attachment for a dress with a leg slit and gathering on say 3 layers and no gathering on say 5 layers (obviously 5 layers would be no different just maybe less panels but compensating for slit) I mean a full circle uses more fabric with wastage. Tulle can be cut any which way so panels side by side upright and upside down would work, but would the drape be affected if panels are cut (i hate no seam tulle skirts yuck, i would sew and cut fairly invisible seams to join.) would live your opinion on the whole slit planning. Maybe the 3 panels isnt so bad zipper in back slit either leg 🤷🏼‍♀️. Your thoughts?

This was great, thank you! The only part that is unclear to me is how you determined how much to bump out/scoop prior to drawing your curve. I see that you've chosen .5 and 1cm on the back, but where did these measurements come from? I just copied your numbers, of course :)

How lovely. How wonderful.

Went to your website, could not find side seam pocket pattern!

Thank you so much, I want to cry.
