This is super useful!! If there a reason why the curve pivoting uses that 3/4 in? (i.e. is that related to how you've drafted the neckline, so a different drafting method would need a different pivot? or is it just a pleasant curve)
It’s near 10 pm I have been working on making a dress, using two pattern I have cut out the skirt pieces and gathered them but I need to make a bodice design for the top. I also have a band to attach to the bottom part and connect to the top. Do you have any suggestions
This is a fantastic video, thank you. At the end you said you thought you’d need a little extra room and you were going to cut across and down. Can you explain how you’re going to do this? Thanks again.
Hi. do you have written instructions for drafting a sleeve to fit any armhole? The sleeve sloper is for a specific bodice and I am adjusting a shop bought pattern. Thanks very much
May i ask what you would change if you wanted to do this for a floor length 1 length (no train at back) tulle attachment for a dress with a leg slit and gathering on say 3 layers and no gathering on say 5 layers (obviously 5 layers would be no different just maybe less panels but compensating for slit) I mean a full circle uses more fabric with wastage. Tulle can be cut any which way so panels side by side upright and upside down would work, but would the drape be affected if panels are cut (i hate no seam tulle skirts yuck, i would sew and cut fairly invisible seams to join.) would live your opinion on the whole slit planning. Maybe the 3 panels isnt so bad zipper in back slit either leg 🤷🏼♀️. Your thoughts?

This was great, thank you! The only part that is unclear to me is how you determined how much to bump out/scoop prior to drawing your curve. I see that you've chosen .5 and 1cm on the back, but where did these measurements come from? I just copied your numbers, of course :)
Thanks so much for this video - it is excellent! I think what did it for me was the last segment when you tried on the well fitting sleeve and suggested how to add in more ease for the upper cap portion ti improve the fit. This is exactly the type of help I needed! Bless you!
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I'm not clear on the amount you shift the parallel line on the sleeve to place the neck. It seems that the distance increases for smaller cups. What would it be for a DDD cup? Would you please explain the logic?
Just found your channel, great tutorials. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge. Would you share with us how to draft kimono sleeves with gusset? Kindest regards, Diana.
I’m terrified to design my own pattern, but do it all the time in my bag-making. I agree that it definitely gives more freedom. I know what I like, so tend to look for patterns with those features!
Hi! Thanks a lot for such a great video ! Do you explain where to add a gusset ? I already drafted my kimono top, but I need to add a gusset to have more freedom of movement. Thanks in advance ! Kindest regards
@@warwickshirewolfpack the pattern that i have learnt to work with we add 6cm of ease to the bicep width, but i have no idea if it works with this pattern

What do you mean by RTW? When I say RTW, I’m looking at higher end designers rather than high street. Not couture, but not what you’d find popping out to the mall / high street!
Hey hey Julianne! Fancy seeing you here! 😉Yes, my original was a purple / maroon colour too. Not sure where that ended up. 😬And yes, Devore is EXACTLY the word I was looking for, thank you!
@@TheCreativeCurator I know who'd think I'd turn here eh 😉? Hehe. I lost mine too. I just passed a pile of books (as you do when you are constantly sorting your house out) and good ole burgundy winnie was sat on top rofl. That's the second one i've bought! rofl Thought so you did describe it well lol
Oh, if you give me a week, you can have it for free! I just need to scan it in to my computer but my scanner is in my office and I won't be there til next Thursday! 😘

Trying to sew my first pants. Watched 10+ videos of how to do it by other authors but your approach is much more easier and adequate for me. Thank you. I am so glad I found your small channel.
I absolutely love the way you explain things. It actually makes sense to my ADHD brain. Thank you for investing your valuable time to teach others. I've just begun sewing because I can't find ANY ready made pants that actually fit. I have no hips, so ready made pants are always falling off of me. I'm so excited to check out more of your videos! And I also love your accent. 😁
Finding this comment tucked away this morning, has really made my day. Thank you! 😘 And if there are any specific tutorials you'd like to see please do let me know, I'm creating a list for future videos now that a BIG project is almost completed. 😍
