Finally some good menswear video 👍🏼 its great that you even show ‘how’ to angle the french curve. Would be great if you can also draft a trousers pattern 👏🏼
Thanks A B! I'd like to change how poor menswear is represented (even if I have no authority in it 😅) Trouser drafting... I gotchu: ruclips.net/video/_CU9f13PhPo/видео.html
right. I have seen countless 40 minute babbles to get to this point, this guy killed in ten. And he talked! lol. Cheers to all the humans taking up this amazing craft!
Oh my god, where have you been for the last year as I've been pouring over old or complicated pattern making tutorials. Finally someone made this easier. I've read so many ways to do this and never got it exactly right. The animated illustrations were a really nice touch. Love how you show how to angle the french curve (which is what I most struggle with). I've love to see one for basic sleeves. Great video, my guy. Keep it up! Subscribed!
Michael... my guy... Thanks for this! I made it cause I was like you frustrated with how shit it is for guys out there when it comes to clothing. I fully intend to get your sleeve tutorial done (had a fall from grace, but i'm on the up). Really appreciate the comment man... day made.
Was telling partner how no one mentions mens draping or pattern making in my circles and training! And it’s shocking. I then found you. Brilliant! Thanks.
Thank you for this! I also bought a pattern making book and the instructions are just so complicated. You toned it down, no excessive info. I also want to do more casual wear and all the books I find are so focused on elegant wear, it's very annoying when you don't actually have anywhere to go with a super haute couture garment haha. Plus, I also really want to make men's wear and a lot of the tutorial on the internet are for women. My guess is that they are not that different, but still, it's good to see material specific to men. Thank you so much! I'll suscribe waiting for more. :)
Thanks Katy... This took the wind out of me but no better way to learn something than to try and teach it! Lemme know how you get on with your own sloper... I'm curious to see if the lesson lands!
I think I’m missing something here. How do you know how far down the long length line to put in the chest and waist measurements? I don’t think that was explained or I have totally missed it.
@@BeauWilder So I don't know your Insta (if you have one), but I followed the tutorial and now I have my very first self-drafted block after just two trial makes!!! Thank you so much.
@@brandonfullenkamp4723 Brandon you beautiful human.... you just gave me goosebumps! I'm so pleased for you! I don't have any other social currently (this was more of an experiment than anything else). I have videos coming up in the next few weeks though and plan to start setting up other channels here and there. Any silhouettes you're working towards?
@@BeauWilder Not particularly, I've only ever used commercial patterns that *almost* fit right. I'll probably try to make this block into a button down first (after a simple t-shirt) and see how that works for me.
Sounds great! I have a Hawaiian shirt in my mind I'd like to create. I'll need to get round to making a Facebook community or something. Hopefully see you there 😁
A question - how do you account for the height difference in the back piece? Usually the back has an added yoke. If not a yoke, they add a 2 inches in height to the front piece. I'm confused.
Dude this is so helpful, thank you! Figuring out how these patterns are supposed to work is such a pain, having it laid out so clearly makes me feel so much better. The things I'm hoping to make would need to modify this some, but now I feel like I understand why things are the way they are, so modification should actually be doable. You rock man, keep it up! Menswear needs more of this.
Thanks! Got what I needed from this which was the difference between the front and the back piece (I had a front block that worked well but had lost my back one)
I'm trying so hard to find a quick, simple guide to making a block for my dolls...... and as soon as you focus on your mullet length I fall in love XD Instant like. I will peruse the rest of the channel after this video.
Oh no don't hate me but I had to trim the mullet... it was approaching an absurd length! I'm so glad to have you here! Wow blocks for dolls... I never imagined someone would find me looking for this but it does make sense (doll depending!)
@@BeauWilder you're forgiven for cutting your hair! The dolls are 1/3 scale and certain companies have measurements that are hard to shop for when it comes to clothes... So a couple of mine I need to custom make theirs and that requires drafting..... @_@
Drafting a bodice and arm pattern is difficult, if you lack knowledge of how important it is to take correct measurements at certain points of the body and drafting the measurements correctly onto the pattern. There are some standards measurements that work great for a baseline. Neck hole and shoulder slopes. NH 3/4 “x 3” for the back, 3” x 3” for the front. Rounded neckline. Shoulder slope. 2” is the average, slope. Great video. It definitely gave a great beginning of understanding the pattering and measurements involved. Have you made a video about drafting a sleeve ? I just came across your channel. I’m trying to construct an old fashioned barn coat. I’ve drafted many patterns for shirts, pull overs, shorts and pants. However, I’m sure about the amount of ease. Thank you for sharing, keep up the great work. Best regards !
@@BeauWilder I don't, but in trying to make a block or sloper I tried to use the process designed for women. It doesn't really work as men are, as you say, "meat slabs." We're more like big blocks of meat, not many curves. Of course all bodies are different, so I imagine if you have a big chest you may need to make room for that in your pattern, right?
@@markbieraugel8217 Yes I believe you are absolutely right! Male bodies are more angular than female ones and I think that no matter your shape the rules still apply. It's something I'd love to look into more... example how would a man pattern if he is carrying more weight around his stomach for example... how would that be considered in the pattern!
My one question would be where is the reference point for the vertical marks on either side? Like do I directly copy the back block and then in post add the larger neckline/hole? I had to restart from the front block because all my vertical mark measurements are from the front, and the sleeves aren't mirror images of eachother.
Ha ha ha ha... you know same lesson happened to me once in watching a trousers tutorial. She kept saying 'tie line'... but was saying 'thigh line' and I got so confused
Shhhh... don't tell anyone but... 😉 *whisers:* It's in production (the animating takes a while but i think its the cleanest way of teaching). Hopefully soon... Anything else you would like to see?
@@BeauWilder thank you! Just watched your trousers patttern video, still need getting used to understanding your method I think lol, they’re great but I think I’m a bit slow. Take your time doing what you do. I think I’d want to see how you personally test the fit of these pattern you’ve made…. Not sure if this make sense, if not just ignore me, do what you do haha cheers
Thats such great feedback! Thank you so much WG Creative. I will be sure to show the fit of my patterns in future videos. It's quite funny I never thought of it before. It's like baking a cake and not tasting it.. ha ha ha
Very good But I don’t think that you are someone that don’t understand the basic bloc wit the letter and calcul that we have to do. Your explanation are very good amd professional, but in a way that is very simple for every body, so they well try. You look like someone that have study in desing and you just don’t want to tell lol. But it’s ok. Anyway Your teaching and demonstrating wit a good logiciel is very nice. Continue your good work. Cheers 🍻
Thank you Sofie! I appreciate your feedback. For me it is very important to make this work feel like anyone can find success with patterning. I look forward to your thoughts on my next video coming out next week on a sleeve. I'm looking out for you Sofie :D
@@BeauWilder I will be glad to give you my thoughts I do think like you It’s important to know how to do things and not be intimidated by all things in class we do learnd and make a video for anywone, it’s simple when you learned it, but when it’s not your branch … When you look at RUclips, almost everybody make it so professional , it’s ok if you study in this or want to learnd this way. Anyway.. You should explain when you have the time, how to use the basic block to make a garment ( shirt or pants) Because a block it’s like a second skin and some time people get confuse and don’t know how to draft a shirt using their blocks . I’m so sorry for my bad English I’m from Qc and speak French, I really do try my best in English . Cheers 🍺
Ahh what a wonderful suggestion... I will do my best with your suggestion of a simple garment from a block pattern. And your english is beautiful... I think I understand you perfectly! If only I could reply in french :D :D :D
Yeah it's a load of bull isn't it... I don't think many who have went into publishing has really considered that there might be a new way of teaching. Enter moi ☺️
Hi Chief! Great and clear explanation! One quick question, how valid are those "magic numbers" when used to draw children basic body blocks? Tried it once but it seems a bit off especially on the armholes 😂
OOh yeah these won't work on kids at all... The 'magic numbers' are for adult men and won't transfer for children. I'm not entirely sure how to create block patterns for kids... I imagine it would be similar to men in that theres not as many curves but I couldn't say for sure... hmm... You've found a puzzle!!!
@@BeauWilder lol ok crystal clear, thanks! I'll try to half the fixed number that you've mentioned then... If I'm succeeded I'll circle back to you. Have a great day, mate!
Hey Beau, finally yesterday purchased all the tools from your pattern block making list! Think I’m going to start making a casual top! One question I always like V necks is there any special things to bear in mind during this conversion? Enjoyed the tutorial by the way!
Ahh Kevin this is great news! I'm doing the same thing this weekend... I have an idea for some PJ bottoms I'd like (aka my new office suit these days). V-neck is super easy to get the shape... What you will want to do though is keep in mind HOW you want to finish the collar. How should it look and what technique you will use to complete it... As this will tell you your shape to pattern as well as seam allowance, etc
@@BeauWilder ok 👍 well I have got a muscle long sleeve casual V neck shirt I like it is in stretch material though so not sure how it would make up in firm weave material! I also found another website about servicing sewing machines so I’ve taken my Singer 15k into the garage and started overhauling it! Good luck with the office pyjamas look forward to seeing the end result!
This is fab, I've drafted for women but I wondered if men's was the same! Also if I'm using this to make a t-shirt with stretch could u reccomend a resource for calculating negative ease? I keep fucking up what percentage I should use 🤦
Oooh amazing challenge... So for your stretch material... You'll want to make a few decisions, how tight do you want it to be on the body and how much give is there in the fabric. I havent made any videos about measuring the body but it is super important. The only advise I can give you that will help you on your way is to create a block with TAKEN measurements and not CONSTRUCTION measurements. More stretch, less ease
Ahh Betty, thank you so much. So for a man... the arm scye shape (as far as I know on my own body) is the same shape front and back. What you will find however is that the sleeve shape will be more steep on one side to account for the bodies movement. I hope that helps
Your videos have really helped me to understand the concept, but my measurements aren’t working for the armscye. For me, (my across back/2)=(chest cir/4)…so when I add two cm to the across back measurement, it puts that connection point for the French curve outside of the frame…did I measure wrong? What am I doing weird? Thanks again for your help!
Ok... So it is a disadvantage I never went through how to take correct measurements (or how I have winged them anyway). But I'd look at that measurement again or even one better.. you identified it doesn't look right... So between the shoulder and the side of the body... Experiment with the curve... I know it's not the best advice.. maybe I could make a video on how to troubleshoot basic bodice problems?
@@BeauWilder thanks so much for replying so quickly! I’m gonna grab a French curve later and trial and error it. I’ll lyk if I find anything worth sharing. Thanks again for helping me get pen to pattern paper. 💜
@@alexrader1049 Excellent... I'm glad to hear it! If the 2cm addition isn't working... remove it. If you think the curve is still too shallow... trust your instincts and take it in. The reward is in nailing your sloper... but the adventure is in finding your perfect shape. The worst you can do... is get it wrong a few times! Hell knows I did!
you've made me so excited to weave yardage... thank you for sharing, i feel like it's an unwritten rule that you aren't suppose to teach for free... because capitalism... please take this meager thumb upward as payment.
Ha ha ha... I do think education should be free and I'll do my bit as much as I can... but also... moths in my pockets... I still live in a capitalist world :D
@@BeauWilder the armhole shape, I divided my across back in two, and my chest in four but the across back is still wider so it does a weird double curve?
@@alexvnderh So weirdly... what I do is think more, nipple to nipple... there shouldnt be a curve on the measurement you take if measuring yourself. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/F9ruGGzN7o0/видео.html
Aww Rafeeq my friend... are you remembering to use your measurements in fractions? Also double check that the measurements you are taking are correct for construction. How are you measuring your across back measurement?
@@BeauWilder thanks for the reply… I’ve measured it like my chest (right around/all around) but just higher and just underneath my under arm… the chest I’ve measured where my nipples lies
@@rafeeqabrahams5779 Ooooh ok so the across back when I Measure it is a little different. I stand in and hold the tape measure in front of me and measure from armpit to armpit. Don't measure it on the body... hold the tape measure tight in front of you. In theory what you are doing is self measuring something you cant do alone. Measuring across your shoulder blades.
@@BeauWilder so is a fourth of the across back? And how about the chest measure and waist measure? Is it supposed to be marked the fourth of the circumference? My boyfriend is a surfer so he have a big full chest, his chest measure is wider than the across back… if I’m doing it correctly 🙏🏽

@@alexrader1049 Excellent... I'm glad to hear it! If the 2cm addition isn't working... remove it. If you think the curve is still too shallow... trust your instincts and take it in.
The reward is in nailing your sloper... but the adventure is in finding your perfect shape. The worst you can do... is get it wrong a few times! Hell knows I did!
you've made me so excited to weave yardage... thank you for sharing, i feel like it's an unwritten rule that you aren't suppose to teach for free... because capitalism...
please take this meager thumb upward as payment.
Ha ha ha... I do think education should be free and I'll do my bit as much as I can... but also... moths in my pockets... I still live in a capitalist world :D
Gracias!!!!
De Nada!!!!!!
good idea bro
Thanks brother ✌
I have a quick question, I've done everything you talked about it my back piece doesn't look right.
Aww no Alexander.... which part is lookin a little wonky?
@@BeauWilder the armhole shape, I divided my across back in two, and my chest in four but the across back is still wider so it does a weird double curve?
@@alexvnderh Be careful how you measure your across back... How are you measuring your across back?
@@BeauWilder From under my armpit across, I think
@@alexvnderh So weirdly... what I do is think more, nipple to nipple... there shouldnt be a curve on the measurement you take if measuring yourself. Check out this video:

I feel like I’m doing it wrong… my back is longer than chest and waist measurement 🥴🥺
Aww Rafeeq my friend... are you remembering to use your measurements in fractions? Also double check that the measurements you are taking are correct for construction.
How are you measuring your across back measurement?
@@BeauWilder thanks for the reply… I’ve measured it like my chest (right around/all around) but just higher and just underneath my under arm… the chest I’ve measured where my nipples lies
@@rafeeqabrahams5779 Ooooh ok so the across back when I Measure it is a little different. I stand in and hold the tape measure in front of me and measure from armpit to armpit.
Don't measure it on the body... hold the tape measure tight in front of you. In theory what you are doing is self measuring something you cant do alone. Measuring across your shoulder blades.
@@BeauWilder so is a fourth of the across back? And how about the chest measure and waist measure? Is it supposed to be marked the fourth of the circumference? My boyfriend is a surfer so he have a big full chest, his chest measure is wider than the across back… if I’m doing it correctly 🙏🏽
Never mind! In the second intent I got it!
