no way... I was scared of making patterns for 2 years thinking I'm too dumb for this and you expleined everything in 8 minutes and it took me 30 min to make mine bodice.... you've changed everything in my sewing game I will be thankfull forever plese keep making tutorials you're so good at them 🥺
You are a genious!! I've been looking for a pattern tutorial in centimeters for so long and yours is so simple and easy to follow! Thank you so much!!!
This is the only vid I understood on bodice making and thanks to that I already made a shirt and now I'm making a jacket and a dress using this pattern ❤
Literally sitting here watching and enjoying this tutorial right now and i feel confident i can make this. You did a great job. I'd love to see you do a basic skirt tutorial too!
This was so simple and straightforward! I haven't put these to fabric yet, but I can already tell they are SO much closer than the ones I tried several months ago (and eventually lost interest in when trying to make adjustments). I'm so excited, thank you!!
thank you, spent hours of fun going back and forth from the computer to the paper following your every point, and i now have a front and back bodice block, bought some calico, and am about to have a go at my 1st personal toile for my size, i am hoping to get my shoulder length, and centre back a lot more fitted than i have been finding with regular patterns. thank you for your brilliant video
This is truly the simplest explanation of this I’ve ever seen. Thank you! I am hoping you made the short and skirt block videos too. Either way, your videos are lovely and so helpful!
I really need a video about making of any pattern you know! I would like to create my own patterns, but i don't know where i should start. Your works is amazing! Thank you for inspiring me
You're welcome, my dear! I do have a Playlist of patternmaking tutorials if you feel like trying any of them: ruclips.net/p/PLzLXHW9-fHx9S0slsXw4ryeq-DSplztZH&si=FNWXtfOzPZLv0my4
Hello I just wanted to say thank you for you excellent instructions. I would call myself adventurous begginer and from following your tutorial I have made the bodice and a mock up. I can't believe it fits like a glove first time. You explained things beautifully, and tomorrow I look forward to following your sleeve block tutorial. I really hope you will do more block tutorials for the bottom half too. ❤
I did it!! Thank You!!!!! I the easiest video I’ve seen. Easy to follow. You were very thorough. What you said and what you drew lines up..that’s a game changer (odd as that may sound) Thank you for offering this information to us.
You explained that so simply. Once we have the bodice block could you tell us how to make a simple blouse? I'm just a little confused with this as i know the bodice block is supposed to be exactly what our body is - but to make a blouse we need to add ease, but I'm not sure how much that would be and where on the block it should be. Thank you so much for your help and such clear instructions.
I used the given seam allowance as ease and I decided to add my own seam allowance when cutting the fabric. I haven't put it on fabric as yet but I'm working on it
@@ayana6816 thank you. However, the bodice block is exactly what the body is. That means without the seam allowance and without ease. And ease can be very different to the seam allowance as it gives us ease of movement according to how the body might move in that particular area. Eg your not going to need ease in the shoulder, but you will in the waist and chest area as they are areas that we move around. Thanks for your response, but I think we're in a different place in our thoughts.
thank you for this video and the explanations (it was very clear). I've just discovered your account and what you're doing is amazing🥰I'm just a bit confused by something for the front. With a biger chest, the side dart doesn't go inside. It that a problem ? I'm actually doing your cottage core dress and this problem is blocking me. Thank you so much
You're welcome, my dear! I can totally make a video on how to transform this bodice block into a princess seam. It might take a little while because I do have other videos lined up, but once I make it and it'ss uploaded, I'll come back here and let you know.
Thank you for explaining it so clearly! Now how can I modify this pattern? For example if I want a bodice with princess seams? I would very much like a video on this!
I think I will make a video on princess seams really soon! You're not the first person to ask. It might take a couple of weeks, because I have other videos lined up before that.
Hi ! Thank you so much for this video ! Could you please explain how to use the ruler for making the armhole ? Because depending on how I "connect" the 2 dots with it, the curve isn't the same...
This is great, thank you! I was just wondering, do I need to make the neck hole bigger for non-stretchy fabrics that can’t really be pulled over the head?
Hi! Thank you so much for the tutorial, it helped me out a lot as a beginner pattern maker 😀. I have one question though: for example, when you lower 3cm for the shoulder drop or 4cm for the bust line, are those measurements the standard for all body types? Thanks a lot!
Not necessarily! It depends on the shape of your body. The darts are there to help translate the curves from your 3d body to a 2d piece of paper. You might have a bigger cup, so you'd need bigger darts on the front. But if your back isn't super curved, you don't need to make the back darts bigger because of the front darts.
@@coralinestreet thanks for responding to this question. I had the same question after watching and practice drafting. Thanks for the easy to understand video. A pattern making video for shorts would be much appreciated.
Thank you, my dear. I'm really glad it was helpful. No, you don't need to add seam allowance at the sides, since that was already added when we drafted (1cm or 3/8 inch). But it was only added at the sides, so you will need to add it at the bottom/top or any seams you might add later on!
Coraline, não encontrei no vídeo vc medindo a altura da cava. Pode me mostrar em qual minuto? Sou iniciante, por isso pergunto... Adoro seus tutoriais ❤
Claro! Em 2:35 eu falo sobre a altura da cava. É uma fórmula: dividir a altura total do corpete por 3 e adicionar 6 centímetros. Quando for marcar a altura da cava, marque o resultado dessa conta de baixo pra cima (da linha da cintura em direção à linha do ombro). Qualquer dúvida estou sempre aqui!
@@coralinestreet Aahhh obrigada por me responder 💙 Só mais uma dúvida? Essa altura do corpete é aquela medida que tiramos do ombro até a cintura certo?
Hi my dear! This basic pattern doesn't have any ease. It's a tight fitting base. When you alter this base to the style you desire to make, you can add ease if necessary. It depends on the garment you wish to make later!
Hey, actually i made by own bodice with your instructions but my armhole of the back isn't the same size of the front so does it mean that i made a mistake???
@@coralinestreet thankyou so much.. Can you make a video on how to make a qipao top and its pattern please. I've been trying to make that but I've failed more than twice so please
The front dart depends on the size of your bust, but the back dart is standard! That is, unless you have a sway back. Then you might need to add more. But for most people 2cm will be okay.
Love your presentation! Thanks for making it so easy to follow. Wonder if I apply the same folding/cutting technique to the front dart on the waist as if on the shoulder dart shown at 5:45?
This is a base, so you can use it to create basically any top you'd want. Here are some examples of videos where I show you how to use it: 1. ruclips.net/video/MEUjhbpb65g/видео.htmlsi=D_F_wPpt9EQYiuHm 2. ruclips.net/video/vyr43F8su_I/видео.htmlsi=NNtDQ5S_MP6Yekr9
I have a question: We add 1 cm seam allowance to every measurement, except the length of the bodice, does that mean we add it later on when making patterns? And the 1 cm seam allowance to the width of every measurement is for one side only because the middle is on fold usually, is that correct? But when you transfer this basic bodice piece to a specific pattern which is cut on fold, you still add another seam allowance of 1 cm, and that's why i don't understand that we already add 1 cm to this piece. Can someone explain please? 😗😅
So all of the side seams, armhole, and neck have 1cm seam allowance built in. But when using this to make a pattern, do I need to add seam allowance to the shoulder and waist seams?
Hi coraline! I drafted your parttern today and I was stuck because you didnt go into detail about the arm hole and calculating how each angle will translate to the arm hole to construct it. You connected the back width to the bust but not the upper bust? please help. I kept scratching my head
I wanna know why are there many looks for basic bodice ?? Like ones without darts and ones with darts and ones with the darts in didferent positions, why is this?
Thank you for the feedback! I learned it this way, but I have a smaller bust. I think in this case you could make the shoulder dart wider? Instead of using 4cm, you could double it? Because your upper bust and full bust difference is bigger.
Great video. Now, my problem is I only got the shoulder measurement but not the back measurement of the person I’m going to make a dress for. Also, the design calls for a back shoulder darts as well. 🫢
no way... I was scared of making patterns for 2 years thinking I'm too dumb for this and you expleined everything in 8 minutes and it took me 30 min to make mine bodice.... you've changed everything in my sewing game I will be thankfull forever plese keep making tutorials you're so good at them 🥺

Im so glad it was helpful 💜
Nice! Would love videos on other basic blocks pattern. Thanks
okay, good to know! i'll make them

Hi ! Thank you so much for this video ! Could you please explain how to use the ruler for making the armhole ? Because depending on how I "connect" the 2 dots with it, the curve isn't the same...
On the back it is 2 centimeters dart no matter of individual body measurements?
Your channel is so underrated! It's amazing
Hi! Is the 1cm added to the /4 measurements for seam allowance, or is it to give it a bit of breathing room for the body?
1cm is added to each measurement for seam allowance
This is great, thank you! I was just wondering, do I need to make the neck hole bigger for non-stretchy fabrics that can’t really be pulled over the head?

(Assuming I understood correctly) she chose those numbers because of the size of her bust. She explained at 4:23 or so.
Is the shoulder dart twice the size of the waist dart?
I also want to know this
Very helpful
Thank you so much for showing us in metric system 😊.
Is the back dart same as front? I mean if front dart is 3 cm should the back dart also be 3 cm?
Not necessarily! It depends on the shape of your body. The darts are there to help translate the curves from your 3d body to a 2d piece of paper.

Could you please make videos about more basic blocks🙏🙏🙏
Hi coraline.Does that means this pattern did not include ease? When taking measurements on body do u take it with ease or fitted on bodies? Thanks ❤

Hi there! When you draw the line B how long is it ? This affects the pattern right?

@@coralinestreet thankyou so much..
Can you make a video on how to make a qipao top and its pattern please. I've been trying to make that but I've failed more than twice so please
Do you use a 2cm dart regardless of the front dart size used? Or did you use 2 cm because that's what you used in the front?
The front dart depends on the size of your bust, but the back dart is standard! That is, unless you have a sway back. Then you might need to add more. But for most people 2cm will be okay.
Use 3cm or 4 or 5. Details at 4:31
Love your presentation! Thanks for making it so easy to follow. Wonder if I apply the same folding/cutting technique to the front dart on the waist as if on the shoulder dart shown at 5:45?
for the front top dart, does the dart end above the bust line? how do the darts not meet in the finished front bodice piece
Complimenti…grazie
Why is my front pattern shorter than the back one did i miss something?? Or it’s supposed to look like this?😭
Porque no había conocido este canal antes?
💜
The shoulders of the front and back bodices dont match once i took in the shoulder dart. Is that supposed to happen?
Hiii I was wondering as to how you could sew with this? Beginner here!
This is a base, so you can use it to create basically any top you'd want. Here are some examples of videos where I show you how to use it:

same 😭
What about ease? Surely you need room to move?
Only took like an hour, no biggie 🙃
This does not work for big bust size, for example a G cup bust size and a large waist.
Thank you for the feedback! I learned it this way, but I have a smaller bust.
I think in this case you could make the shoulder dart wider? Instead of using 4cm, you could double it? Because your upper bust and full bust difference is bigger.
