I am VERY VERY HAPPY that you're back with a detailed and informative tutorial!!! Because of this current lockdown on our location, I've been trying to look up for sewing tutorials. Since I am a beginner, I don't really find some tutorials motivating as they want me to use my favorite clothes as my pattern or use a certain store-bought pattern. Thank you so much for this type of tutorials!
I am most grateful for the skills you share with us. You are certainly the best . I am thankful that I came across your channel. Many blessings upon you Sir.
I am SO very happy to see you back! I have learnt so much from you and I am looking forward to your new videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with everyone. Best regards Thomas
I really love your tutorials. I'm a professional pattern cutter myself but I really like the simplicity of your explanations & your focus on the correct balance as well as the fitting. Please give us avid followers some more. I'd love to see a trouser block draft!! Keep up the great work, you're wonderful!
Thanks Nicky. I may get around to showing a pant draft, but it can be challenging, even for professionals. Most patternmakers prefer to work with an existing pant pattern, and adjust as needed.
@@christophersartorial7671 indeed, a well fitting trouser is like the holy grail! I recently did a course in pant drafting (although I'm an experienced pattern cutter, I fancied a refresh) & I concluded that one can only ever start from a basic block/shape that is evenly balanced then re-fit accordingly to each individual shape. So, a knowledge of fitting issues & how to resolve them would make for a great tutorial, or series of tutorials. You can possibly tell, I'm a bit of a pattern cutting geek.. a 30 year career & I still love drafting patterns every day! I've really enjoyed watching your tutorials, simple, easy to follow, precise & elegant... proper 'old school' pattern drafting! I have recommended watching them to a few people. Your methods are the way I learnt how to draft patterns during my college years in the mid 1980's. A joy to watch. 😊
This is so much more comprehensive and accurate than other videos I've seen on the topic! It was never clearly explained where/how to place the notches or how the fabric will behave as a consequence of certain methods - you make it all easy and digestable! Very much appreciated by a sewing newbie like myself. Is there a chance to see a video where you troubleshoot a sewn bodice/dress for common mistakes, and how to transfer the fixes (in fabric) back to the pattern to adjust it properly? Somehow that's one of my struggles!
I've watched all the pattern making clips you posted. Thank you so much for taking your time to do this. They are very helpful and easy to understand. I try to follow what you teach, the results are wonderful :)
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I wish I found you before I bought one of those expensive "pattern expert" "fitting systems" . It is exactly as you described, the cookie cutter pattern. no wonder it doesn't work for me. I have trouble with shirts neck and shoulders riding to the back and got advice to do a high round back and low round back adjustment. hasn't worked. just leads to more adjustments. I will definitely give this a go! Have already tried just pinning a few shirts in the front to be more narrow and that seems to solve the problem! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Such quick and easy pattern systems are the "Vegematic" of pattern making. They work great when demonstrated, but not when you get them home. Professionals would never use them.
All your tutorials are excellent, well explained. Thanks a lot. I have tried the bodice Sloper and the skirt and I couldn't wait to tell you how well it worked out for me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am looking for a pattern making guide for a high-waisted pencil skirt made out of princess panels. I've been following your tutorials to try and combine the wisdom into such a pattern, but I think I'm just not skilled enough. Would you consider making such a tutorial at any point?
Thank you so much Christopher. So nice to watch a video from you in this lock down. Love from Uganda. Could you please upload a tutorial on drafting the Bustier? Thank you so much
You could draft a Princess seam Bustier using the methods in the videos I've already done: First draft a fitted bodice sloper without any ease (very close fitting), then convert the darts into Princess seams, and cut the neckline as you like.
Brilliant, easy to follow videos with such clear, concise instructions. Thank you so much. Now I am just waiting (hint hint hint) for the trouser block/sloper drafting technique please.
There are a few places where notches are standard, such as at the waist, and in the case of Princess seams, a distance either side of the bust apex. Most other notches are placed at the pattern maker's discretion. They are there to help match up pieces while sewing.
Man, we've been missing you. I'm glad that ur back.
Thanks Silvio. I'm glad to be making more videos. Got the time now.
Welcome back Sir. Your tutorials have been a blessing.

Am glad you did it, am almost done doing all your tutorials
Hi Christopher! You are truly a great teacher/ mentor. Please make a series on dart manipulation!!!!
Thanks. There is some dart manipulation in a few of my videos. Perhaps I'll do more.
I'm glad you made this one. As usual clear, to the point and with few details seldom seen in other tutorials indeed.
I've watched all the pattern making clips you posted. Thank you so much for taking your time to do this. They are very helpful and easy to understand. I try to follow what you teach, the results are wonderful :)
I'm happy to have been of service.

Thank you so much for coming back!!!
Good to see you're back
Thanks. You give excellent instruction. It works.

@@christophersartorial7671 Please show us how to draft men's shirt and trousers.Thank you!
This is incredibly helpful. Thanks so very much!
Hi. This was a great tutorial. I was wondering if you could make a bodice with the shoulder dart , that you use to create the princess dart
Yes, you can take the bodice sloper and rotate the dart to the shoulder as I did in this video.

A pant draft may happen, but don’t hold your breath.
How to create side dart in kurti
Welcome back!!!
How do you decide where to put your notches? Is it arbitrary? Or is there a method to help you decide where to put a notch?
There are a few places where notches are standard, such as at the waist, and in the case of Princess seams, a distance either side of the bust apex. Most other notches are placed at the pattern maker's discretion. They are there to help match up pieces while sewing.
I don't know how to do the darts. We can't order patterns in my country and I've been looking up for a video for months. Please help
Sir how much fabric is required to make a dress of princess line above knee length.
Thank you so much i have missed you. x
Thanks Hazel. I'm glad to be back making more videos.
@@christophersartorial7671 i am so pleased to here that. you have a very special talent and i thank you for sharing it . x
Pls let me know the measure of shoulder drop ( standard size )
What if you want to convert a princess seam into two darts?
It’s doable, but far easier the other way around.
Helo great works I what be part of the learning program how may I join thanks
