I have been sewing for many decades and recently started trying my hand at patterning. You are the first person I watched who made the pattern drafting easy to understand. And I have watched many! I was wondering if you have any plans on doing a video showing how to draft pants. I'm more of a pants person, but I am going to try this skirt. Keep up the great job.
I'm very excited to find your channel today and I love how explicit and detailed your tutorial is. Just what I'm looking for especially showing how you do the sewing for a beginner like me. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more of your videos.
6.10pm thanks a mill. I finally got close to the best and that's you. Want to share yr measurements with my friends on our newsletter and I am looking for yr links. I find it useful. Will love to share our news.❤
Hi, I find your drafting videos incredibly useful and easy to follow! Thanks for sharing your skills! I would like to hopefully, whenever you get the chance, do a pant pattern :)
Glad to see you back!! How to measure yourself is always a fun one, for me, where my "waist" is depends on whether there will be a waistband or not. If I measure the narrowest part of me for something with a waistband I will hate wearing it because it'll be up above the bottom of my ribcage but if I go with a measurement just above the hips for a dress, everything is wrong but if I use that actual low waist measurement for something with a waistband it will literally fall off because of how I'm shaped, yay for muscles bulging under the padding that seems to come with age... the difference is more than 10 cm, so I have to use a measurement from an actual pair of trousers that stays on, rather than a measuring tape around my middle where I want a waistband (remember that 10 cm difference? Yup, that's how much I squish into my trousers to get them to stay up, the next pants size up will slide off without the zipper being undone)! Also the waist height will differ... and I also don't want any kind of bulky waist seam in a dress at my low waist EVER, cause there's so little difference between my waist and my narrow hips that it just creates unnecessary bulk so I've been learning tricks to minimize it and/or move the bulk lower so that it pretends to be the hips I don't have! Welcome to being a brick with boobs... And I also learned from my various attempts (including yours) to draft a bodice block that my bust squishes more than patterns expect it to. I'm having better luck by reverse-engineering a side-darted bodice block from a princess seam bodice block my friend helped me perfect based on a free cosplay pattern from Mood Fabrics, where according to their sizing chart, my bust is a size 12, my hips are a size 8 and my waist is a size 14-16, depending whether I measure high or low, there's a good 5 or 6 cm difference between waist height if it's a dress or something with a waistband.... So you can understand how waist seams and waist-darts are not my preference because of how I'm shaped...
Wow! This is great! You made really good points and you highlighted something that is great about sewing. We are always learning about this art form and about our bodies.
My favourite RUclipsr is back 💃💃💃💃❤️❤️❤️

Merci beaucoup.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us all.
May I ask which app you use for drawing
Hi Wonderful! It is the notes app that comes with the Samsung Note phones ✨
@@CreatedIAm thank you kindly. You’re a real gem
Would you add a waistband? Or how would you finish it?
