- Patternmaking is tough but this video shows an alternative way to create digital patterns without knowing how to patternmake. I quickly learned this method and it allowed me to digitize sewing designs to then share with others.

I’ve been sewing for 20 years, and your video, ideas and giving spirit are absolutely mind blowing. You are revolutionizing sewing and making it so that everyone can be thrifty while recycling and making clothing that is a perfect fit. If there are any patterns you are ever looking for or are curious about, I’d be happy to give you any that I have! Thank you for everything, my mind is blown. I cannot wait until we have sewing tools in VR. A central place to share all of our information will be life-changing 🙌🏻
Do you have any doy sweater or shirt patterns?
Just found him on my cell. He is a blessing. He brings sewing to the masses in 21st century and with style in concise language and expert film editing.
Here's another tip to add to this, if you can get a large sheet of glass or heavy plexi or clear acrylic, you can place it over the patters and weight it down on the corners. This would REALLY REALLY squish it flat and make the pattern more accurate when photographing it. Those big wrinkles can create lots of errors in the pattern tracing.
I had no idea people did this. I constantly buy the same pants over and over. I have often thought it would be cool to try to make my own. I knew I would have to seam rip one pair apart but thought it wouldn't be practical. Now I think I may try it.
Great point, thank you🙏🏻
I’ve done this for maternity pants; they are so $$ to buy new that this was my money saving hack.
I was JUST thinking about doing something like this to digitize my patterns. Thank you!
A true tea sew along episode would be very fun!! ❤🤣
Hey Kat! Would love to see more of your sewing too.
Wow!! How nice it is! I am sewing spree, usually draw patterns by using the Adobe Illustrator, but this idea never comes to me so far. Now I can not wait to try your idea. Thank you so much.
Been sewing for over 50 years and love what you’re doing. But I keep things old school - mechanical machine, scissors, tape measure, mechanical pencil, and either reuse the white side of wrapping paper or brown craft paper on sale from Blick. I reuse patterns constantly, and just use some tape if they get a bit ragged.
great idea!! however instead of tracing the whole bodice you could have traced half and reflect the other, that way it will be accurate :)
That's a good point too. Usually I end up only showing half of the bodice on my patterns anyways :)
That works really well! I’m really bad at accurately tracing stuff so I like to trace the whole bodice and fold it in half. Then compare the halves and make them match. That way if there are any places that I traced unevenly I can split the difference or choose a side to use. After that I’ll reflect the side I want.
After trying both ways, I think I trust the process of hand-making patterns first and then digitizing for easy storage and reuse. Thank you so much!
Hey, great tip! I do the photo + Illustrator tracing this when turning paper patterns (I like to draft on paper first) into digital patterns. To double check that the digital pattern matches the paper pattern, I measure the edges of the paper pattern. For example, if an edge is 15 centimeters on the paper pattern, I'll draw a 15 centimeter line in Illustrator and move it to the appropriate edge. It's a good way to check work.
In a nutshell seems like we're doing the same thing :)
Great tip. Thank you
I'm so happy people are starting to do this! I noticed a lot of youtubers posting similar tutorials and it makes so much sense! who has space for physical patterns anyway lol
Interesting use of phone camera. After seam rippping favorite garment, I was taught to scotch tape newspaper sheets together, then trace around the garment pieces onto the newspaper with a marker. When done altering & using the paper pattern, we folded it up inside another piece of newspaper. Then write on outside what it was & size. Saved expense of going to print shop.
Won't newspapers get ink all over your hands and fabric?
@@sophievanderbilt1325 that has never been a big problem. You just lay out the pattern & dont rub the two together like sandpaper. Also this was "past tense" when money was very scarce.
@@sophievanderbilt1325 If you iron your newspaper first it sets the ink and it is much less likely to spread. You can often buy (relatively cheaply) rolls of newsprint paper from a craft or dollar shop. Cheap Xmas wrapping paper is also good, especially if you get the wide stuff.
Honestly, you are one of the best RUclips creators. You gave me the courage to start sewing and it is my favourite thing ever. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm so glad 😊😊
This is so smart. I’ve recently started doing this and incorporating it with my overpriced pattern software for my pattern studio. It works for drapes too!
Costumers have been using this method for years. I guess for some people pattern making is hard but there are some very easy ways to do it.great video on a hack
Thanks for sharing. Yeah for those not familiar with sewing, this is an easy way to do it.
@@GloryAllan it's a great place to start :D
This is such a great hack! This will save me soooo much time when recreating patterns on the computer! Thank you!
Omg this hack isso amazing! I was having a really hard time in my digital pattern making class, but I think start by doing this way will be much easier for me. Thank U ❤ for helping this helpless Brazilian🇧🇷 fashion student 😂❤
Fantastic idea, I hadn't thought about doing this before. I use illustrator all day long at my work so this is definitely something I am going to try next time I find a garment in a thrift store I want to re-make.
Brilliant!
This is going to be so fun to play around with and learn. Thanks for sharing with us.
Just found your channel, I love that you share your patterns for free; really for the culture!! Thank you!
Soooo hard to tear up a favorite piece even tho you're gonna make it again.
Very nice of you to share. Sharing is caring.
Throw back to school being taught how to use CAD and instantly realising i can use this for drafting clothes patterns. Then moved onto Illustrator.
I digitized several patterns with this method. Like, actual patterns tho. I wanted to digitally adjust them instead of on paper, and then I printed and made my test garment. Good method, and great video!
u a real one mayneee, 2 genuine hope you accomplish all you set ur mind too . Thank you
I copied a skirt one time without taking it apart. I used painters tape and covered each panel before trimming the tape where the seams are. Then peal the painters tape panel off and stick it on a piece of paper. I used the paper portion to add the seam allowance.
Great concept and thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your pattern grading video.🙏🏻
Super helpful.. Never thought about digitizing old patterns.
Wow, this so so helpful! Thank you! I dunno why I didn't think of this!
I love this pattern making technique. Excellent!!
Am so excited for your tutorials wish you more success in your life
I've been sewing for years. I don't use patterns. I know, I'm the exception. I do use my clothes as a fit reference, though. Great tips. 👍
Same! I use my clothes too. No patterns. But I trace them onto poster board and keep the poster board patterns and reuse over and over making small modifications.
Hey, this’ll be a great way to make designer doll or teddy bear clothes too!
never stop making content!!!!
For the most patterns, that are symetrical, it would be a better idea just to find that center line, trace the half of the pattern and than just mirror it. In this way You'll have two perfectly matching halves. ;)
Totally agree
This is genius! Thank you so much for sharing!
This is a good tip. Thanks for sharing.
Just discovered your channel. I’ve watched one video and already a fan!
Thanks! I really liked your video!

Very helpful. Thank you! ✌
I absolutely love this! Thanks so much! I'm now a subscriber🙂
That’s awesome!, thanks for sharing that.
Bloody brilliant! Thanks mate
thanks! stoked i came across your channel
Very clever.
You will get more accurate results using something larger than a 1" measurement, though. If, say, you were out by 1/8" in your measurement, the scale will be out by 12%. If, instead, you used a 10" measurement and were out by 1/8", your scale will be out by just over 1%. Better still would be to use the full panel as the scale measurement you are using. It is larger and you can check the scale horizontally and vertically.
This idea is awesome! And…I LOVE your Texas Longhorn shirt!!! Many thanks and a new sub from Texas! ♥️
Great Canadian content!🇨🇦
been needing this one
So cool! Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for this!
Great video thank you for sharing.

Video quality insane🔥🔥🔥
Hello - when my Mom taught me this it wasn't called a "hack" - great video as always. Have a great day.
Duuuuude Love the content Thank you so much
This is very clever and I will consider it next time I need to digitize a pattern!!
Okay so I just found this channel a few days ago and saved this video and I'm just now watching it and 1. i am so mad that i just found you because i wasted SO MUCH FABRIC trying to replicate a bucket hat and it came out so bad and you have a literal free pattern omfg -___- and 2! You're (I am assuming) Jamaican?! awww yissss wah gwan, love to see my ppl out herreeee doin itt (The name Allan too is popular in Jamaica). But if not, then you're still cool~ 😅☺
This sooooooooo dope!!! Thank you!!!!
Such a good idea!
Okay! That was pretty dope! You got a new subbie!
This is great, merciii
When will you upload the size grading video ? Thank you for sharing this amazing info!
Thank you so much 🥰
Love this! Do you have a video on grading by chance?
Ting hoi! Happy Chinese New Year
Brilliant! 😉
You're amazing!
Such a cool hack thank you! ❤️
Large format printers aren’t too expensive you can get a decent one for $1200 or a used one for even less (universities upgrade theirs all the time and their auctions are a good place to check- I worked at one ☺️). Paper is $50 a roll and inks about the same. If you make a lot of patterns this will save you money in the long term. 💕
If you get a smaller 24” plotter instead, it’s $700 for a new printer.
Cool tip. Thanks!
So excited to attempt and make a tsuno bag and I knew there was a sewing machine at home and it’s missing the foot pedal 🥲
fire ! waiting on that hoodie video!
Dropping on Thursday, 3pm EST :)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great video standards. Consider doing voice overs for side money. Nice work!
Haha thank you
Just found your channel and you look exactly like this Drum n Bass producer who is also from Toronto, named Stranjah. So uncanny that I suspect you guys are related!
Anyhow thanks for the patterns and the sick tutorials!!
You’re the man.
So good pal
Thanks for free patterens saw your channel jumped on board.hugs be safe:]
I draw my pattern on the floor, hurt my back, my knees. Might wanna try drawing with inkscape and print them if printing doesn't cost much. Or I might put it in the production costs 😁 Thanks for sharing this
This is genius!
Thanks ❤😊
Genius!
Awesome You are a COMPUTER GURÚ. To bad for me ( 1.954 ). Thanks for your patterns. Love 💕
Genius!!
Thank you
thank you
If you can, add a ruler on the height direction as well. Then if you didn't get the phone held absolutely flat, it's easier to check and even correct with a small distortion.
I don't know how I got here but now that I am I'm gonna go make a bucket hat using your pattern. Thanks 😂.
I love your burnt orange top
