Really appreciated your explanation of no seam or hem allowances. As someone who must make adjustments to all patterns I now have a greater appreciation for no seam allowances. Thanks for another great video.
Karina, thank you for these videos about straight skirt. I bought few yards of wool and plan to sew simple skirt and your videos very helpful.
Thank you for the skill builders
You’re welcome
Great! so glad you're showing Marfy!
Thanks for sharing this site with your followers. It looks like a great way to do some beginner drafting...without all the minutiae! Cheers, Karina! 🤓
I'll do it tonight! Can't wait 😀
Great Karina, thanks so much.
Thanks Karina, really useful info. Im looking forward to your makes :-)
What a good idea, Karina. It is an excellent way to teach the block method. Even better than the "Vogue pattern" which was used over three decades ago. The concept of "no seam allowances" to begin is a much better technique and even the SEASONED sewist can learn a great deal. Also, the concept of using an existing pattern to fashion one's own block is less stressful to the sewist as there is a place to begin. I have seen people turned off when told they can make their own block from scratch.
You will be providing an excellent opportunity to not only the newer sewist but also for the seasoned sewist who has just learned to adjust the big four patterns for fit. Making one's own block has so much more potential for a greater fit and a more professional look.
Wonderful teaching and learning opportunity for all. You are a sweetheart.
Cheers and happy sewing. JoAn
Nard Ackinon thank you so much. It’s what I thought. Taking the step to starting a block from scratch is not an easy one for many and I feel that what i show can be more accessible.... so many options!
This looks as if it is going to be a very interesting series. Thankyou for taking the time to do all this XX
I’m hoping to reference to these when I make future projects :)
I have always been curious about Marfy and it seemed too complicated when I began sewing. Your guidance has been very good. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us. I will give it a go. I will follow your instructions and see what I can do!
I’m happy to hear that!
Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
Ok! Got the pattern downloaded, will have to get more ink to print it out...can't wait to see the variations! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
Rita Jackson your welcome!
Thanks Karina!!!
This looks a great block Karina. I shall definitely be downloading and following your next videos. Your presentation is easy to understand, clear and user friendly. Really appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. Keep them coming please, I shall be watching and learning.
Linda Sutton thank you for your support :)
Karina - thank you for this information. I will print this out and follow along. Since I don't have much sewing time, I might be way behind your instructions - but I'm very excited for this sew along! Exciting!
Thank you for the link. Downloaded the free patterns and am looking forward to see what else you do with that skirt pattern and possibly the vest/top.
Again, thank you for sharing.
Oldtimer Lee I hope it’s fun for you too. Have interesting ideas :)
Hi Karina Thanks for the explanation about Marfy patterns. I'm looking forward to having a skirt block and trying some techniques for drafting different designs. This is going to be a fun series!
Laura Jones when you have a base that fits, there are so many possibilities and its super fun to create.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Grat review of the Marfy patterns!!
This is great information Karina! I am always looking for great new patterns and ways to style them!
Thank you Karina. I made a skirt block from an Etsy class I want to compare the 2. Looking forward to your series.
thank you so much!
Great video series Karina, looking forward to how you get on with Marfy. I had a couple requests for a sew a long, but I haven't tried it yet, so I definitely will refer people to your video. I will try Marfy one day, they have some pretty interesting design details on their patterns.
NaturalDane definitely have designs that you don’t see anywhere else. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Zhou cornea , very nice video instructional did y know if y buy a catalog even an back issue it comes with free patterns . This is an excellent bargain I have done a skirt as well. Very stylish and elegantly European the catalogs are sublime. Happy sewing from the USA✌🏿️👌🏾💕🙍🏽
Yep I knew. I can’t get the catalogs from Brazil though. Shipping would be too expensive.
Cool, I didn't know Marfy was an Italian company. I assume they're for more advanced sewists since they assume you're pretty comfortable with garment construction? I actually put my pattern to freezer paper the other day (according to your method) and cut out my muslin this morning. I'm pretty stoked to try it out:) Nice that Marfy offers this basic skirt block though. I always learn new tips from watching your videos:)
Rikki B thanks for watching and let me know how your skirt works out for you!
Thank you for such detailed information! I'm really excited for this series, as I have always admired the way you hack things and wished I could do this myself! With a little 'hand holding' from you, I won't be so scared to give it a try! Do you have any plans to show how to make other types of 'blocks', say, a simple top or bodice? Thank you, thank you for this! As always, TFS xx
Hazel Kinvig-Paul I have a two part on making the bodice....

Thank you Karina! I just found your skirt tutorial, off to find the others now! xx
Karina...I've downloaded the pattern, but the sizing is too big. Starting at 42 cm = just about a size 16, do the Marfy patterns in your experience come smaller? I'll double check the site,but I may just have to scale the pattern down (it will be my first time)
Hi Karina, I drafted your sklirt block and am happy with it but I did wonder if you printed two blocks, one for knit and one for woven? Or if you printed just one, was it the 50? Thanks so much for your videos. This is my favorite channel because I love the way you use basic blocks to make variations. My experience with trying to make different PDF patterns has been that I have to do so many modifications (forward shoulder, drop shoiulder, etc etc) that I totally am redrafting everything anyway so I really want to do your method instead. Jayne
Jayne Burdeshaw yes. Two blocks. The only thing that really changes is the circumference when you have a stable knit and you need a tad of negative ease.....all the other features like the distance between waist and full hip (in my case 20cm) does not change.
Thanks. I have a question about the wanted tee you sewed awhile back. But maybe I should ask it on that video`? So the answer is available for others to see? What do you prefer?
You can also get the patterns through Vogue pattern website in english.
Peaches C yes you can, but not the three free ones 😉.
