@@DowntownTailoringI agree! Unfortunately, in my area pattern drafting classes are way too expensive and I’m having difficulty understanding from start to finish. I appreciate your videos! Very informative and helpful ❤
+1 for pattern drafting! And if possible, tips for those who doesn't have a dress form to pin things to. Maybe there are tricks there too. Thank you 🙏 I am so excited I found your channel!
I’m subscribed to so so so many seamstresses on here, but this video is probably the most perfect and educational video I’ve ever seen put out, I learned more in this video than I did in all three years of class for sewing. Bravo, thank you so much for this. ❤❤❤❤🎉
Many years ago I attended some pattern making classes, and one of the most valuable things I learned was using a favourite pair of my pants to make a pattern. Normally I had a lot of alterations to make on a commercial pants pattern, so this was a great shortcut.
Thank you for making this video. Yes, more pattern drafting please. I like how you showed the dart application to customer clothing alterations. Thanks again!
Thank you for this very informative lesson! I would love to learn more about patternmaking. I appreciate that you show the paper pattern examples and then also show different examples on pieces of clothes. 🌻
I want to learn as much as I can. I've made many outfits and jackets over the years but I believe every day is a school day. One can never stop learning. I'm self taught and the teaching helps to make the garments look a lot more professional. Thank you.
WOW amazing explanation 😮❤ Thank you so much! And, OMG PLEASE do as many pattern making videos as you can stomach!!😂 The way you teach and the amount I want to learn pattern making are a match made in Heaven 🎉 Bliss you guys 💕🌸
I echo everyone else’s sentiment! I get so overwhelmed when trying to learn drafting and draping, so videos in your style would be awesome! I'm especially interested in themes like, how to start and designing for plus sizes. Oh, and I should put in a plug for men’s clothing too 😊
Would love too see you do pattern drafting! Always enjoy your videos, not only are they practical tips, they also show off your great sense of humour as well ❤ All the best
A fantastic demonstration of dart techniques, variations, and the reasons behind particular choices. Another really good video, and I'll always watch, and learn, from technique videos. Yay, geometry. YVR
What a brilliant video! Thank you so much for this. This was not only fun but I have also learned something I wanted to learn so long time ago. Thank you!
Yes, please! I would love to watch a pattern drafting video, because you have a proven track record in my book. Plus, you make everything so much simpler to understand! Thank you 😍
Thank you for offering us a pattern course. 🙏🙏 I will watch with pleasure ! PS: how can you completely eliminate all the darts from a bodice to make a T-shirt ? With my thanks from Paris 🙏🙏🙏
Love your tutorials, love to have more on patterns also! Your covering things with your tutorials for people like me who have had to learn on my own and thankfully from people like you who are giving with their time and knowledge!
This is wonderful! There are other videos about rotating darts (a subject that still confuses me), but VERY little about actually sewing them! And the trick with the bobbin thread is from another (pretty) planet. Good job!
Oh yaaaaaaaaas, pattern drafting stuff would be awesome! So cool to know that's actually your expertise. Please share! Thank you for the contoured dart tip! I sometimes wish I could give 2 thumbs up on your videos!!!
Oh my! Thank you soo much for this! (Would it be possible for you to explain the contouring again? I think this what I have been looking for….my left breast always leaves a pucker….this my fix it! ) I love how you explain all the ways to sew the dart! ❤❤❤ I would love for you to show us about the collar. I have never seen anything like it. And yes please to pattern cutting! 😊 Thank you again!
I just discovered your channel! Thank you so much for your information and instruction! I would love to learn about drafting. Do you need a dress form that is your size? I’m not sure I can pad mine to really reflect my shape. Darts give me fits as my apex is quite low and moving them on some patterns is difficult!
This was great information. I was taught to backstitch not tie off the apex of the dart so it was great to see it mentioned.I had not seen the way you manipulated the dart before ,it was brilliant. I would love more vogs on pattern drafting ,as many as you can give ,please.
When you get toward the point, sew to the fold 1/4” away from the point, then sew the last stitches (usually 3) on the edge of the fold. Then hand tie. Gives you a smooth point without looking like a torpedo.
Hi, I recently found your channel. It is so professional! I have been sewing garments for my whole life. I am doing it for fun only. I learned new things from watching your videos. Please do pattern drafting! I enjoyed this dart manipulation video. I would like to see how to make basic patterns. I am sewing from Burda magazine, which has patterns. Cheers! Eniko
Awesome! Would it be possible for you to share the collar pattern with us please? It is very beautiful. And yes, I would love to know more about patterning, especially trousers... Or fitting on a large curvy body ;)
I'm sorry. English isn't my first language, and I was under the impression that it refers to people as the dictionary describes. Later on, I learned that in some cultures, this word can have a different meaning. And, now I try to use "everyone", although I have to admit that it seems to me more distant. My apologies. This video was recorded about three years ago, but I'm more aware at this time. Cheers 😊

Hi! You can eliminate the darts only if the fabric is very stretchy and the body isn't too voluptuous. Cheers 😊
@@DowntownTailoring Many Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

EXCELLENT video on darts!!!!! Going to watch it again right away! Thank you so very, very much for this fantastic tutorial. 🥰❤❣😘

I agree. Padding the mannequin is possible, but it's very tricky to get it right. Cheers!

pattern making, Please!!
I love the one thread sewing never knew that.awesome
😊😊😊
This was fantastically done and fantastically explained. Thank you! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Yes! Pattern making please!
Coming soon! 🥰
Thank you for everything you have shown so far. Yes, I would like to learn how to make a pattern (of course with darts). Many greetings from Germany.
With gratitude! 🥰
Excellent explanation and as always, wonderful content! Thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent!
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
When you get toward the point, sew to the fold 1/4” away from the point, then sew the last stitches (usually 3) on the edge of the fold. Then hand tie. Gives you a smooth point without looking like a torpedo.
Yessss! This ☝️ ☝️ ☝️
Great video! I dont sew clothes because of just plain fear of not getting the fit right. One day perhaps your info will help me try.
Yessss!!!! 🥰
I always stitch the darts starting from the apex, that way I have more control on the part that will show
Good trick! Thanks for sharing 😊
More please. I have always seemed to naturally blend the ends in to the tip…. Just seemed like it should be curved.
Yessss! 🥰
Hi, I recently found your channel. It is so professional! I have been sewing garments for my whole life. I am doing it for fun only. I learned new things from watching your videos.

Hi Eniko! Thanks 💕 We are working on it!
@@DowntownTailoring thank you! ❤️
Awesome! Would it be possible for you to share the collar pattern with us please? It is very beautiful. And yes, I would love to know more about patterning, especially trousers... Or fitting on a large curvy body ;)
I'll post Tomorrow or so the collar part. Cheers 😊
I always reduce the stitch length at the end of the dart, it prevents puckering.
Yesss! 🤗
Brilliant, thank you. 😊
Thanks 😊
I'd love to see tutorial on drafting!
Coming soon! 😊
Hi! Really helpful videos! Why didn't you make the side dart on the form when you were cutting the first fabric?
No reason. Just a preference. I wanted to show that you can
pivot your dart pretty much to any point of your pattern. Cheers 😊
Brilliant 🎉
Thanks 🥰
I love ❤️ thank you 🌺
🥰🥰🥰
Hello. Yes please make the tutorial
🥰🥰🥰
@@DowntownTailoring I will love to see pattern making videos. That are well explained and easy to understand and follow. Can’t wait 😳🤗🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😍😍👏👍👍👍
Do sewists ever put darts into their free promotional t-shirts? Just wondering. I'm not brave enough or motivated enough but how weird would it be?
Not weird at all. I add darts sometimes on t-shirts. Cheers 😊
🪡🪡🪡🪡🙂🙂🙂💓💓💓💓
🥰🥰🥰
I don't sense all of us are guys. Some of us are female. Thank you
