- Time for the pattern alterations! In this video I demonstrate how to turn the altered mock up into a pattern you can actually use to make a garment that fits.

This series of videos is the best instructions on how to do alterations that I have found. Thank you for going though things so slowly and explaining why you are making your choices.
I strongly agree the why is so useful, and unlike many of the pure “how to” videos she isn’t trying to cover every confusing possible variation on the options available just talking through what she did which makes it so understandable and able to be generalised from there.
You are the hero we deserve and need
I love these videos that show every step of the process of making a garment. Glad to hear that you're planning to keep it up for this project in January.
I'll be back! For sure! 💚
Totally agree! I'm looking forward to January! And thank you Claude for taking the time to make these videos!
I have been sewing for 50 years and it never dawned on me about the need for safety pins when fitting yourself. I will now be less scratched in future.

Between you and Bianca I'm learning so much technical pattern drafting goodness. Watching both your processes is sinking in my brain. Together you've provided a master class 🌻🍄
Thank you! I'm so glad you've enjoyed this series 💚
I agree. They have very different styles of explanation, and it is good to get info presented in different ways.
This has been such a fun series. It's good to see videos that show the reality of pacing when it comes to sewing and garment making. Esthetically pleasing videos are nice to watch, but can leave someone new to the sewing journey feeling frustrated when their clothes don't turn out or take way more time than they were anticipating. Thank you also for being kind to yourself with the pacing of releasing these. You are a stranger a long hop away across the ocean, but I think I speak for many, that we want you to take care of yourself, and value you more than the all-consuming need for content. We look forward to continuing Vlogmas into the new year.
Oh my yes fitting instructions for when you are alone!!! I have sewn many many years but always for others. This step by step is great. Thank you.
loved this series claude! i feel like i learned so much by watching you take on this project. thank you for putting these videos out and i hope you have a gentle and peaceful holiday season!
I very much hope you do more videos in this format. These have been fantastic. As a side note, I follow a number of RUclips sewists and you are in the top tier. This has been the most clear explanation I’ve seen on how to transfer mock-up alterations onto the paper pattern when using a commercial pattern.
I'm pretty sure all British households have those yellow and black pencils and have absolutely no idea where they came from! No one buys them, they just appear when you need a pencil.
Nice to hear the shout-out for Bianca. Her dart video came up automatically under yours. Thankyou for all these videos! Hope you can relax & enjoy Christmas now. Best wishes from Czechia.
I love Bianca's videos! It's an honour to be shown beside her ☺️ Christmas wishes 💚
I’m not even a sewist, but I adore your content!
I have just found your channel…. As a total beginner who wants to make vintage clothing, I can’t tell you how informative your videos have been. I will be rushing out to buy a vintage pattern as we speak … thank you for the totally understandable and educational video series ❤
I love this style of format for the videos❣️I learn so much and it’s nice to see all the process. I appreciate that you show how time consuming the fitting really can be, it makes me feel a little bit less slow when I’m doing them for myself. When you look at other videos they are maid in a second. Thank you for all your good work! 🤗💕🌸
i love that you always take us through your process and don’t shy away from the time it takes! makes me feel better about how long sewing takes for me. and yess shoutout to Bianca!
Incase any one is interested, you can use a wartenburg wheel like you are using the pinwheel here. It is much spikier and I think you might not have to press as hard? And the line shows up better. That’s how I was taught to do it, and I think we slipped a piece of cardboard underneath to protect the table and really let it punch through.
My mom is in the middle of trying to make me a sloper. This is such a fascinating process!
I discovered your channel about a week ago and man I’ll be honest it’s changed my life! I have fallen deep down the vintage sewing/knitting rabbit hole and I don’t think I’ll ever leave.
I also really appreciate this video series as a chronically ill person that sucks at pacing, seeing how you break things up is helpful and is hopefully the inspiration I need to try to do better at pacing myself ❤❤
This series has been so interesting! Thank you for making it!
And, thank you for the captions. Your closed captions are always so accurate and clear.
I have really enjoyed the step by step instruction of these videos. Hearing your process out loud has been great! Looking forward to the next toile, and then this beautiful dress is exciting. I have wanted to make a dress like this for
months and months. I'm not going to include the peplum, but make a matching belt. I also knit so a shawl would make a lovely accessory for winter and a set of beads for summer.
May you have a lovely Christmas filled memories and of course our Savior and Lord coming to earth in the form of a babe,...Let the heavens and earth rejoice at His coming. 🌟
This series was excellent. I have not tried extensive alterations and have a vintage pattern to attempt. Now I have learned the process and techniques for a few alterations. I have used your batch sewing technique and love it. Saves time and energy! Thank you for this series. I look forward to seeing the next videos on this lovely pattern.
"Claudanuary...it's not quite as catchy"🤣 Maybe Claude Lang Syne, instead? 🥂
OMG that's genius!! I love it 😂
@@RetroClaude It seemed to good to pass up. 😄
I have learned so much watching this series. Being tall and long torsoed with a big bust I always need to make alterations. Even if you did not show exactly how to do that, I learned a lot on how to go about it in the future, not just slapping on a few cm and hope for the best 😂 thank you for all the work you put into these videos!
Thank you! This is amazing! So much of the time, the instructions say "Make a toile. Transfer alterations to the paper pattern." and I'm scratching my head wondering, ok but *how?!* You've answered that question very thoroughly, and given me realistic expectations of how long it will take, how much of it is an art vs a science, and how to manage the awkward bits like trying to pin behind your back without stabbing your bum.
Clodmas has been gold, it really has, and I'm so glad you're going to carry on with these videos for this project. What started as a way for you to show the reality of breaking down a project to accommodate disability has turned into a masterclass in all those details that get hidden between terse sentences in the instructions 💜
Im super impressed youve done so well for vlogmas. No way could i pulll it off...cant imagine how youve pulled it off, or how many days youve flopped into bed questioning life choices! I have thoroughly LOVED it. I know the whole "each to their own" thing, but youre not only sweet to listen to, such a kind voice, pure honesty, no pretention or grade to aspire to, but also just purely educatiional!. I love that your comfortable with your limitations and are honest about them. Not only do I have disabilities myself, but I also counsel those with medical trauma, and you seem to be practising what I preach. Yardsticks, be realistic while still haveing aspirations, and give yourself the grace you wish the world would give you. Claude, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.
Well said!
I learn more practical and realistic knowledge from you than anywhere else, and as a knitter and sewist I'm happy either direction 😊
Thank you so much for ClaudMas, I looked forward to watching them. Rest up and enjoy the holidays.
Best video so far (I think)! Yes, please do more in this “style” where you talk through the whole process including your thoughts about why and how you do things. Have a wonderful holiday season!🎉
Brilliant series ❤️ you are an excellent teacher and your perspective as someone who must take projects in small chunks is so valuable and helpful.
I have entirely too many UFOs because I wound myself up with a bit of excitement adrenaline, pushed too long and too far, woke up the next day completely non functional… then again the next… and the next… and the next. By the time I’m able to function again, the project is no longer appealing. I never seem to learn. I’ve made a real effort to do better and not push my body. I don’t accomplish much at one time but if I’m careful, I can do a bit more the next day. Sometimes it’s discouraging but you really help make me feel better about it. Looking in the mirror, the fog, pain & exhaustion aren’t immediately visible. I look like everyone else and want my body to work like it looks. It’s comforting to see how someone else copes with similar issues.
The content I have been needing, thank you for pushing through the challenges to provide such solid content :)
I really appreciate the indepth instructions about the alterations on your pattern. I really enjoy watching your videos, while doing embroidery.
Happy Christmas Claude and all the very best for 2023. Thank you for all the help and encouragement this year, I have some idea of how much effort your videos must take and I really appreciate it. X
Thank you for the videos. I was just telling my husband this morning that I have learned so much from watching your videos. Enjoy the Holidays!
I have really enjoyed the this series. I like the tec part even if I'm not learning new things. It's just entertaining
This was amazing!!! I've been "studying" pattern alteration, but seeing it all in action was AMAZING!! You have inspired me!
It’s wonderful to see you cope with pinning on yourself! One of the hardest part of sewing for yourself! Looking forward to the rest of the series! Have a great Christmas and hope to see you next year ❤
That is genius!!!! Adding the piece you took out extra on the shoulder dart to the end of the shoulder... eye opening!!
I literally yelled "that's genius" while watching this in the bath 🛁 😂 it was loud. Haha my inlaws came up to see it I was ok hahahahahahah
New years eve vlog, sounds nice, for us people who stay home and craft, rather than party. Sometimes someone drags me out to party, but if I keep a low profile than I can enjoy staying home. (I enjoy parties too, but only if they are short or there is a quiet space, I can have a break once and a while.)
Happy Clodmas!! This was a great progression of videos. Looking forward to Cloduary. Also ❤ for Bianca @theclosethistorian as she is awesome and has taught me so much about dart manipulation and pattern adjustments/drafting. I sewed by myself for so many years and just muddled along. Now we have some great channels (like this one and TCH) that helps us vintage sewists (and I mean the patterns are vintage not the sewists)😂
This series has been enjoyable, educational and inspirational. Thank you so much, Claude. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished garment.
Thank you for your videos, Claude. Rest up now, and have a wonderful festive season 🎄 See you next time! 😊
I'd say you've earned your break; and these 1940's fashions are so carefully fitted, although such fun to do (and you look so smashing in them!) that I think it's worth the extra time and work. Hope you enjoy your holiday.
I've been thinking about studying a sewing skills and fashion course, but with my health currently it just isn't going to happen. I found detailed posts on sewing skills from Eve over at The Creative Curator blog, but it's hard to guess what someone means when it's writing and photos. So I have really valued the videos in this series Claude! Thank you for taking us through the bits, and as someone with scoliosis, it's helpful to see when to make something semetrical, and when it isn't worth it. I know what sort of month Dec must have been for you with your ME, and I also have it and understand. So thank you. If I had any spare cutlery I'd give you a spoon 🥄 Good decision making this the last video for Claudmas. I look forward to the other part of the series in Clauduary or whenever you health allows you to.
Thank you for this video. I have learned so much about alterations. I now know how to transfer them to a pattern which is something I always struggled with trying to figure out.
I love these videos and especially love your ‘thinking fingers’. What a fun sound and a natural thing to do when working out next steps. 😊❤️
Claude, dear, you're brilliant! Thanks so much for this wonderfully instructive series. I've enjoyed it immensely. I can hardly wait, as a new subscriber, to see the finished product in wool crepe, which is my most favorite fabric of all time. I hope you had a Merry Christmas after all your labor in December.
Thank you for the effort you have put in for Clodmas. Its been great I have learned so much about pattern fitting and changing patterns which is super helpful! I am glad to hear you are taking the time for you and your family but excited you are going to keep doing this style through January! Happy holidays.
Thank you so much for taking us on this suit-making journey with you! I love this series so much, and it's been really, really informative and useful. I'm excited to see it continue, and I'm very happy to know that you'll be taking a much-needed break from it as well. (Also super excited to see your next stash-busting video -- in whatever form it takes! -- as I love all your knitting content as well.) All the best for a happy and healthful break!
Have a lovely Christmas and please do continue with more videos in this style at perhaps wider less tiring for you intervals? I’ve really enjoyed them and found them helpful!
Yay, I've been loving these videos. So glad to see this style continue. Maybe call the January ones Clodmas+ :) Enjoy your holiday. Looking forward to the possible craft a long :)
Definitely down for Clodanuary!😂 theses videos have been so informative, a comfort to watch when I don’t have anything else to watch and I’ve really appreciated your responses, it’s got me through a very hard month! I managed to get the jogger suit finished for my sister for Christmas, tough going with motivation but these videos really pulled me through! The New Year’s Eve live stream will be great again too, my dad has covid and I might be spending Christmas without my mum and dad (luckily my sister and her boyfriend are up for Christmas Day) but I might be spending New Years alone which is rather depressing - least I have this to look forward to! Thank you for everything you do for us, it does more than you could ever know and is massively appreciated. X
As a new sewer and a women of 58. I appreciate your teaching by example , your video with music, editing , and positive energy. I Try to absorb-watch one, do one, teach one. That’s what my careers have forced me to do so that’s the way I operate. Watching does create familiarity with hand eye coordination. I have no university training in garment creation but with ambitions and willingness to watch and do. Learning from my mistakes. I’m realistically hopeful and confident. Giving up my pride allows me look at my mistakes and trudge forward. Thank you for showing your skill with clear explanation. In note, I’m only sewing for my self. Happy holidays.
Dear Claude, I have enjoyed this series so much! I like how you explain things and show the many tiny decisions one has to make on the way to a finished garment. It is also nice to see where all that time we spent on sewing goes to.
This has been a very enjoyable and informative series, and I'm glad to hear that you might continue in this style! As several have said, it was helpful to see how you explain the dart manipulation since my only other reference has been on Bianca's Closet Historian channel. Having it explained two ways helps to get the information into this rather scattered brain lol. Enjoy your holidays!
Are you planning an episode on how your sleeve pattern will work? As a knitter, set-in sleeves are what I struggle with most. I was hoping to see how a sewist deals with the 2 shapes: armscye and sleeve cap.
I love the new style. I have learned so much about pattern adjustments. Thank you!
Thank you for this series. I have learned so much from these videos, about sewing and different types of accommodations. Take the rest and break you need. Happy holidays and new year!
Looking forward to the continuation of the project! Have a restful Christmas ☺️
I really enjoyed this series of alterations, fittings and patterning. I am now a subscriber to your channel and looking forward to your amazingly easy to follow instructions and video's. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your video's.
Please do keep doing this project. I am looking forward to seeing it!!! Merry Christmas 🎄
This was good. Thank you so much for walking through the various steps.
All the very best of the Season to you and yours and everyone you love and respect. Merry Christmas.
- Cathy (&, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Merry Christmas to you and yours Cathy 💚
Thank you for showing this in such detail. I'm going to save this video to refer back to!
I love this series of videos. To be honest, I don’t even like sewing much. I love patterning, and I love wearing, and the sewing is just the bit that gets me between those two enjoyable activities. So seeing you work on pattern adjustments is very enjoyable!
Thank you claude. This is the way to go. These vlogs will help many. ❤️
This has been a very enjoyable series to watch. It will be fun to see this suit completed.
I've really loved these videos, looking forward to more in January. And the cosy live sounds great 💚
Hi! I just subscribed. I like how you actually teach how to do things. Rest and I’ll join on the next one.
These videos are so helpful! I can't wait to see how this continues
I don't know if this recommendation helps - I use cheap watercolour pencils instead of regular ones for marking my fabric. They're much softer and so you get more colour with less effort. I got some from a local stationary shop for $2 each and they're amazing!
I love these videos and have learned SOOOO much!! Looking forward to the rest of the project whenever it comes, no rush. Happy holidays 😊
Fantastic instruction, I followed along and understood! Have a wonderful holiday! Cheers 🎄
Great video, so very very information. I have learnt something from this and my darts are much better now. I'm sure the finished dress will be lovely. I look forward to for informative content.
I’m really enjoying your videos. Thanks and have a good break.
Hi Claude
Am struggling to finish off some edges of patches/piecewirk today.
Best wishes with your daisies in the morning
excellent series Have a good break
Thank you for making these videos for us! Have a good christmas with your loved ones! I have been busy too and was playing your video as I worked, as your voice is very relaxing to listen to and will watch it again when I have time to wind down eventually😁❤
Merry Christmas and happy new year, Claude! I pray this year brings you better health and loads of vintage fabrics 💕
Yes. Please keep on. Very useful.
Wishing you all the very best for Christmas and New Year. X
Thank you for the detailed explanations.🙂
Meilleure série de vidéo. Très très instructive. Merci beaucoup.
Merry Christmas, Ms. C to you and your family!☃
I love these videos! Hope to see more in Jan :)
Thank you for sharing the process in such detail, and explaining what you are doing. Certainly for this self-taught dressmaker it is really useful to hear somebody who knows what they are doing articulate the what and the why to reassure me that I'm on the right track. Even pointing out what might seem blindingly obvious, like where to mark the grainline when rotating out darts, is really helpful and reassuring.
I'm so glad you found it useful ☺️
This series of videos has been such a lovely treat. I have loved to learn about garment making. I hope you are able to finish out this suit series in your own time. Have a wonderful end of the year Claude!
Really enjoying the videos. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.xx
Happy Xmas Claude!
This is such a helpful video. Thank you so much for it.
Thank you for Clodmas! This series has been so helpful, I feel like I've gained a bit more knowledge for my next sewing projects. Happy Holidays!
Happy Christmas!
🙏 you seem so meditative during the mockup process, like it's your thing 🫳 Thanks for sharing! I've definitely liked seeing the long-term process and your camera work is 👍🫰🤌
I loved Vlogmas, it was so information and casual. Claudanuary will be fun too! I’ll be in on NYE also, so if you do a video I’ll be watching. By the way, your inspiration to get me back to knitting has me almost 1/2 way through! I am very nervous about the blocking part 🫣. But I think it will be wonderful in the end. And will forever be referred to as my Claude sweater 😊
It’s been a great Claudemas! Looking forward to catching up on this project in the new year!
No pressure of course! 😊
This has been an amazing series! Thank you for making these lovely, informative videos. Have a very Happy Christmas 🎄
this is really interesting! thanks!
Gosh that's a lot of work... Says I, as I'm crocheting gift for the whole family ON THE 23!
Loved these videos. I have learned so much through them and am glad you are going to finish the project like this.
PS love the dress you are wearing in this video.
I love this style of video! Your usual videos are wonderful, too.
Merry Christmas Claude,and a happy and healthy New Year 2023 to you and yours. This style of video is really really useful, I have learned so much from watching the struggles and mess, realising that I am getting there, one swinging dart at a time! So much better than a text- book, such fun.
I'm so glad you've enjoyed the series 💚
I made the mistake of buying fabric on line. It’s not square to the selvage and it seems impossible to press, even with steam. What a mess.
I’m having serious envy of your much more sensible fabric Claude.
Oh no! I feel your pain 💚
This is absolutely great!
The creases under the side back underarm are because that part of the pattern is too long! You can see how it wants to crease diagonally. It is easier to fix on the paper pattern, but on a cut garment you can simply lower the armscye there and hope for the best
I have really ENJOYED this series of videos however I love your knitting videos as well. YOUR skilled at both, you are presenting them in away that I understand. I hope you recover and quickly. I have to admit I’m quite a newbie to your channel abut three months maybe a little more. I hate asking but you appear to have a underlining health issue if your not bored or fed up of telling would you be so kind to link us newbie to a video where you have already shared it. If you haven’t shared it please don’t take offence curiosity because non was meant.😊
