Hi! 20 plus years ago I did a complete sewing course with creat patterns, cutting, sewing,etc. But after the course I didn't pratic what I learned. With the years I have been doing some clothes alterations for family and friends... But now a want to star creating my own wardrobe. Your video give me glimps of what I had learned more than to decades ago. The way you explain every step is easy to understand. Thank you so make, for sharing your videos. You're Amazing 👏🏻 💖
Hi Kim, I was looking for comfortable and professional tutorials to watch and help me get back into sewing. Everyone wasn't helping me properly until I came across yours. I really can relate to your tutorials, your presence is beautiful and the way you really take the time to explain everything in that wonderful accent of yours. What I'm trying to say is I appreciate your videos they're very helpful Keep up the good work God bless you always😁❤✌
Thank you Kim. I love your tutorials and they are easy to follow. I think that with help of professionals like you, I will be able to draft patterns to fit me. There was a time that purchased patterns would work, but not any more. Thanks again.
Thank you soo much! A lot of people make tutorials on how to make (but it should say *sew*) a mini skirt and they just whip out a pattern and expect you to also already have one. Then they just sew it up like anyone else would.
I have always been watching your videos and trying stuff, didn't realised i haven't subscribed!!!😲 when you said i am judging you, i checked then i hit the subscribe button sharply 😂😂😂
Your video is very useful! I am undergoing my personal project right now, and my goal is to learn how to sew a skirt from the beginning, which is drawing a draft for my skirt. Your video gives detailed with step by step instruction of drawing a draft. I have learned a lot from this video.
Hi Kim!,I finally decided to take on fashion designing career and your videos have been so insightful and unimaginably helpful!but I have some issues with this particular draft, about point "H".I'd keep trying though. Thank you!
Love that you tell us why you do what you do. Please if you can type out the instruction had to go back and forth to write notes (saw it in another video and it was very helpful.
I think the info you provide is detailed and complete as a brand newbie trying to learn. The video went so fast though it was hard to follow a bit for me. I had to rewatch a few times and again when I got ready actually make something. Thank you for doing this. Do you have a dress pattern tutorial? One with sleeves? That's gonna be my next thing! Thanks again!
I feel like this tutorial re-ignited my interest in sewing Im about to go home after work and renew my vows with my sewing machine thank you for breaking this down so well! Amazing voice btw
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very explanatory. Kindly explain why the centre back goes down by half inch. I've always thought the centre back needed a rise so while sitting down the skirt doesn't slide down. Thank you for the clarification.
What I'm not understanding from all these tutorials on A-Line skirts is that once you create the dart, it makes the waist smaller. How can we account for this and ensure our waist measurement is correct? Do we just add the half dart measurement to the outside?
perfect lesson. thank you Kim. Dear Kim I have a question : if the size is much larger, do i increase the dart? and if so, how much per size? width and height? thank you so much
Cloud please show me a pattern of the question that I asked thanks i would like to join you class because I love sewing but can't cut properly and don't understand the measurement so much an how to take them
Hi Kim. Just came across your channel and subscribed. Thank you for taking time to do these sewing/pattern video clips. I have one request. How does one get your chalk to draw nicely on your fabric. All the chalks I buy just don't glide over the fabric . Is there a trick to getting chalk to mark smoothly ? 🥰
IT might help to know that usually tailors in anglophone countries like Nigeria use inches but here she used cm which accounts for the large numbers she was working with (1inch=2.6cm) hope this might help clear your confusion a bit.
😂I know what you mean. Even when I was practising the pattern I was a little confused myself, but now It makes complete sense to me. Thanks for subscribing ^.^
hello ms. kim thank you very much for detailed explain and understand on how i can draft my own pattern. can i ask some question with regards to neckline how can you determine the measurement of neckline if you going to create heart neckline. thank you and God bless
The number of darts depends on how curvy the person is. Imagine having a big behind and a small waist, you will need to take in more darts at the back for a better fit. But whichever technique works best for you 😊
Thanks mam, two questions why back centr front is lower than front where as in trouser back is higher, also advice side seam of front and back waist are same

Great question
Answer the question, please
You make it look so easy!
Is it possible to adapt this to more of an A line skirt. If it is I would love to see a video of it
Thank you, Kim!! If i may ask, what pattern do you use?
That is very nice and easy way to make a skirt.
do you have you add the darts if our planing to add it to a dress?
Cloud please show me a pattern of the question that I asked thanks i would like to join you class because I love sewing but can't cut properly and don't understand the measurement so much an how to take them
i love it, I learned so much ty..
Thank you. Your directions are easy to follow.
interesting, what's the waist to hip ratio you're working with?
Hi Kim,
I was looking for your triangular centering ruler. Did not see it o your Amazon page. Do you remember where you purchased it ?
Do you mean the set square? See it here fabrics.kimdave.com/collections/pattern-making-tools/products/metric-set-square-grader

For those beginner like me, I'm still confused of measurements huhu..

hope this might help clear your confusion a bit.
@@diaynemgbakor3582 is it measurement 8?..what measurement is it
Hi Kim, i dont have the tool you use the make it rounded by the hips, could i just freehand it, or would that be a bad idea?
It’s looks confusing but watching the video a few time it becomes clear...thank you...I’ve subscribed 😀👏
😂I know what you mean.
Even when I was practising the pattern I was a little confused myself, but now It makes complete sense to me.
Thanks for subscribing ^.^
hello ms. kim thank you very much for detailed explain and understand on how i can draft my own pattern. can i ask some question with regards to neckline how can you determine the measurement of neckline if you going to create heart neckline. thank you and God bless
Is the basic skirt pattern suitable for making those modern midi skirts that are worn now?
excellent!!! you are too generous. thank you God Bless
nice vid really needed it. And nice explanation. But usually both front and back have the same number of dart that is 2 bye.
The number of darts depends on how curvy the person is.
Imagine having a big behind and a small waist, you will need to take in more darts at the back for a better fit.
But whichever technique works best for you 😊
Im wanting to do an elastic waist. Would I still make the darts the same way?
Really grateful for your videos 😘😍
Omg this was so difficult for me I hope I got it
If you split the back dart in 2, how do the lengths of the back darts change? Thx! 💕🌴🌲
Thank you. Really easy to follow. 🥰
Thanks so much really appreciate your time. Please can you do a tutorial on how to sew a lining to a dress. Thank You
You welcome Nike.
I will keep your request in mind for the future 😉
Kim Dave yes this would be great
Love the tutorial❤️
Can i ask if the measurement of the 3 lines from waist to hemline is to equal measurements??
I love that you teach us the basics! The videos are fantastic, thank you so much! Question: Can I use your trouser block to make shorts?
Depending on the style of the shorts, but yes you can adapt a trouser pattern to make shorts
Thanks mam, two questions why back centr front is lower than front where as in trouser back is higher, also advice side seam of front and back waist are same
Hello mam pls reply
I love it! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. God bless you 💜 🕉️ 🌈
Hi Kim do we add seam allowance? You didn’t Mention it
She did. She said 1cm and she draws it near the end.
This is just what I need
When you put in your darts, doesn't that take away from your waist Measurements?
Yes it does, that’s why the quarter measurement for the waistline has the dart width included
@KimDave Kim I missed that great. Thank you for pointing that out. I will have to go back and rewatch the video.🫠
Which is the way to the fold darts-in or out on the back skirt?
Can you have a video how to make tailored slacks or trouser?
I have a basic trouser pattern tutorial, see it here ruclips.net/video/r7OXEYLPcvI/видео.html&t
Mam your pattern making is very easy be to understand.thanks for that
Thanks dear for your warm comment ^.^
Mam plz make a video on fish cutting pattern
