I used to be able to open a pattern, choose the size to my measurements from the pattern provided, lay it out, cut and sew. No sew anymore. Thank you for all the tips for copying the pattern. I am enjoying your videos...thank you for the detail you provide.
I work at my family's medical supply store in the San Francisco area, and we sell rolls of the sort of paper you sit or lie down on when you go to the doctor. It's called exam table paper, and we sell it in two widths-18" and 21". Both sizes come in 225-foot rolls and we sell them for $8 per roll. I use the 21" for tracing patterns, and when I've got the pattern how I want it, I take the exam table paper version and trace it onto brown packaging paper. The pieces of each pattern can then be rolled up and placed inside a mailing tube or something similar. Just label it on the outside of the tube!
I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for sharing your knowledge! I'm self taught and am finally taking my sewing to the next level because of your tutorials. I really want to learn how to draft my own patterns and would appreciate any advice. Thank you so much! Cheers 😁
Wow! I thought I already knew how to use a pattern....I was wrong!! This was great, I learned so much, again. Thank you Aneka, I'm so happy I found your channel.
Super helpful. I could sew but wanted to improve and started trying to make copies of patterns and make some drafts for sewing my own underwear. All to avoid shopping. I started using Pellon and because I had to use a pattern in a book, I just ordered a vintage super foldable cardboard cutting board which has a grid on it so I can enlarge the pattern if I can't get to a copy machine. I liked your advice on coloring/colouring your size lines on the pattern and penciling the curves if you are not able to with the French curve.
Glad I was able to help with a few things. Those vintage cardboard cutting boards are great; I still have my grandmothers. A great investment. Wishing you all the best with your sewing and patterns. Aneka x
Omg, i came across your channel and I literally binged watched your videos and it has thought me so much. Your teachings are so clear and understanding.. thank you so much for all your teachings; Really appreciate your channel & you.. your AWESOME!!!!!
A costume designer uses 3.5 to 4.0 mil see thru plastic used in construction. Came in rolls. He copied with a thin Sharpie. Looked a useful idea and a sturdy choice.
I find it easier to put the original pattern on top and with tracing paper and a blunt tracing wheel trace onto the bottom pattern paper. Thanks for a great video. 👍🏻
After seeing these videos on tracing your pattern pieces. I ordered a see-through transparent roll of paper from. Amazon, 36 inches wide by about 20 some yards long (it could be longer). One of the reviews criticized this paper saying it was uneven in tone, but as long as you can see through it, hopefully, it will work for grading pattern pieces to blend various body dimensions into a pleasing workable final pattern that is more of a custom fit than the averaged out one size fits all in the size range you need.
I use lunch wrap paper and when it is not wide enough I sew 2 pieces together with a 3/8 inch seam which I fold flat. I find this better that taping. Grease proof paper is good too and usually has one side that takes the pencil better than the other. Silicon coated backing paper is less good. Thanks for the video.
John Dekker Hi John, what a great idea to sew the pieces of paper together. Thank you SO much for sharing your tips with others! Greatly appreciated. Aneka
Hello from Los Angeles, CA. I found you last week on You Tube and have been watching you ever since. I love your step by step instructions. You are very organized and make professional videos. Thank you! I greatly appreciate all you videos! You are awesome!
Wow, what a lovely comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely message. Really pleased you like my videos and teaching. Huge thanks, Aneka x
Wow, Aneka! Thank you for your very prompt reply. And thank you for the edit. That's very sweet to go to all that trouble. I really intended you to think about it and maybe reconsider more demonstrations in future tutorials. I think your a great instructor and have learned a lot from you. Thanks again for taking my suggestion seriously.
Hi Patty, it's not a problem at all. I actually added the edit into the front of my next video 'how to pattern match fabric', as it made sense to show the process again there. I hope that is ok? It will be up Sunday or next Wednesday (as my Introduction to Pattern Matching will be launched today). I really appreciate your feedback, I want to make videos that teach, help and inspire my subscribers - so feedback is important to make sure I get this right! Aneka :-))
Another great video thank you. I've only just got into sewing after learning at school which was a long time ago. I have recently inherited a huge amount of material with some on the roll which I would love to use. Only problem is I just don't understand how to use patterns or what all the symbols etc mean or even have any idea what would be best to start off making.
Hi Beth, so pleased you like it. I would start with a simple pattern such as a skirt? Or maybe even my free pattern - Copen dress or top because then you can follow along with the video and I explain things as we go: ruclips.net/video/ASKmwy7xklk/видео.html Or here is a skirt one I have made: ruclips.net/video/LSxqYMqnBB8/видео.html I do hope they help? Good luck, Aneka x
VERY interesting and informative, THANK YOU 🌻Yes pls Aneka do give us some info on the thick tracing paper u showed ,maybe even how to obtain online ,when possible of course .😊
I am about to pop over to the show to find out the weight and then I will try and find a suitable online source to recommend. Will let you know asap. Aneka
Enita, I know that you are a wonderful sewer! I've searched & searched on RUclips, and there are almost no videos showing us how to fashion old fashion (Betty White type) Sweatpants anywhere! Remember the kind that where somewhat stretchy, but not baggy at the crotch? Sweats are the perfect thing to pull on when getting the kids off to school, or having to go outside to shovel snow. Would you show us how? Thank you!
I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and your teaching style is fabulous. As a beginner I have learnt many important practices and this is brand new experience for me. Can u kindly advise on how to download patterns. I have visited your website but I couldn't find the method
Thank you for your lovely kind words. I am working to get the patterns finished and then they will be downloadable. Everything got delayed because I wanted to launch fuller figure sizes at the same time as normal sizes. Aria and Paxton are coming very soon. Aneka x
Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely words. Yes, I am trying to think the best way to do this to solve fitting issues. I will think of an idea! Aneka x
Hi David, yes you will want to copy marks onto the fabric. This is usually notches, as well as any circles or marks that indicate details. I hope this helps? Aneka
Hi Deborah, I actually just picked this up from my local craft store (A0 sheets) as I only tend to use it when I am pattern matching. I don't have it on rolls like the other paper I use. Bear with me and I will call the shop tomorrow to find out the paper weight so I can find a similar online option. Aneka x
I believe she is using vellum paper. I bought a roll of it off of amazon for a good price. It's thick but still translucent enough to see your pattern underneath. The brand I use is Pro Art vellum roll 36 inches x 5 yards. Hope this helps! ✂️💞
Thank you so much. Could you please do a tutorial how to grade up a pattern as I have a 'one size fits all cape/coat' but it doesn't fit my Mum (UK rtw 20)?
Hi there, I do have a video for this: ruclips.net/video/znuHQimDYGw/видео.html I hope it helps? Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck! Aneka x
I love your tutorials. Two things, where can I purchase that paper you're using? And can you do a tutorials showing how to use the French Curve when making alterations. In particular, how the numbers on the ruler correlate when altering? Thank you.
Hi Michelle, do you mean the thick tracing paper? I purchased this in A1 or A0 sheets from my local craft store. Do you have somewhere that you could try? I will find out the weight of the paper and get back to you. Of course I can show how to use the French Curve, the numbers only really help when you are measuring curves, or I use them to make sure that two curves are symmetrical. For example for a curved (bowed) dart I would remember that I used the shape of the curve from 5" to 8" and then use the same shape on the other side. I will do a video, thank you for the suggestion. Aneka x
Hi Billie! Thank you, really pleased you like the video. Sorry that you feel that way, I try to keep my videos as professional as possible. I want to make sure that people get what they need from the video, and have learned what they watched the video for. Aneka x
Made to Sew You do a great job making your videos very informative. Personality and professionalism are not mutually exclusive though. That said, I wasn’t criticizing you negatively, and sorry if it seemed that way. Personality is a big part of why viewers watch RUclips vids, in my opinion, and I’m sure you have a wonderful personality.
Oh bless you, that is very kind to say. I will try and make sure I show more of it. Thank you for your kind opinion. I have some more 'casual' videos coming up so hopefully these are better! Thank you! Aneka x
Made to Sew So nice to speak with you Aneka. I’m looking forward to your more casual vids (and regular programming hehe). It takes a lot of time and work to maintain your new schedule and quality of videos, you deserve a pat on the back. 💕
Fingers crossed I can keep to my regular schedule! We will see how it goes :-)). Thank you for your lovely words. They are really appreciated. I just want to provide professional content that will teach people how to sew, inspire them to want to sew and take their sewing to the next level! Aneka x
hi i am sewing a heavily embroidered top and it is a princes cut ,my question is can i do the lining which will be boned princes cut style and the laced top as a straight top without the princes cut so i d'ont ruin the embroidery on the fabric ? thank you
Hello Inas, yes you can cut the lining with princess seams and the main bodice in the embroidery fabric (it sounds lovely) without princess seams. You will need to make a pattern for the front bodice. Or work to position the princess seams back together, so that you can cut the bodice in the exterior fabric as a single piece. Does that make sense? Aneka
Here is a pattern that might help: madetosew.com/product/copen-top-dress/ It was free, but we are getting a lot of spam downloading it through the website so have had to put a tiny price on it. Or if you want to learn pattern drafting, I have just launched a new online class on my website for skirt pattern drafting. Aneka x
Mam u teach very understandable I like it.mam I'm a learner I can't understand how to find correct ARMHOLE, and neck width, and neck height allocation please, please tell me
Hello, when I draft a personal bodice block these measurements depend on the individual. I am planning a video on this. That would probably be best. Sorry Aneka x
Yes, this Wednesday I am back and Sunday. I plan to launch more videos this year, I have reduced my teaching schedule to help with this. I hope you enjoyed the new videos. Aneka
Hi Susan, I would watch this video: ruclips.net/video/znuHQimDYGw/видео.html&list=PLfxTlKMr7TsB2czllHLsqePLp7ZJVF0MV&index=14 it shows how to pick a different size at the bust, waist and hip. You could draw this on the original pattern and the trace it off? Or trace off the 2-3 sizes you are and then amend the tracing. Hope this helps? Aneka x
I usually like your tutorials, and your narrative for this one was informative, but I was disappointed because I wanted to watch you trace the pattern and markings, and then cut out the traced pattern. I would actually like to see you do the work while your talking, whether it's tracing or sewing.
Patty Gardner Hi Patty, so sorry you feel this way. I do show some tracing and copying the pattern at 9:39. I had loads of it filmed but felt that once I had shown a bit everyone would get the idea and I would be boring them. So sorry I didn't keep it in! Sorry to disappoint you. Aneka x
Hi Patty, I have edited a very short video of me tracing out the pattern and I will add some of cutting out the paper pattern too. I will launch this on Sunday morning before the next tutorial (pattern matching). Thank you for your feedback, really appreciated. Aneka x
Really sorry you feel that way. I always try and include as much information as possible, so that even complete beginners can understand 'why' you do something. Sorry, Aneka
Made to Sew Please don’t feel the need to apologise to this rude comment (troll?j. Your videos are excellent, very informative. I’ve just found you and have subscribed. Love, love love.
ATTENTION ALL RUclips TUTORS: Please take a cue from this lady about getting a proper manicure BEFORE doing a tutorial where your fingers will be used to point things out. This is a teacher who PREPARED herself for the class. I cannot stand a tutor with dirty or unkempt fingernails.

But the suit shoulder should not hang from body shoulder
With the tissue paper patter would I be able to laminate it? I have s hard time cutting out my fabric while using it.
It is difficult. I haven't thought about laminating it. Why not trace onto a thicker paper or card? Aneka
Where can I get the weight you have. I've tried others but not so good
These are from Morplan in the UK.
I was wondering how to trace off bust one size and waist a bigger size ?
