What a coincidence that I was looking up a how to for a pattern I created that is similar to this one. While looking at what was written on the pattern, I'm squinting my eyes to see the name that looked like my name. How could they know it was my name or that Id be looking for this tutorial? why is my name there? I guess it is meant to be! Thanks for the great tutorial Ive learned the truth.

the longer this video went on the more i thought it was fucking with me jk no, but for real, this video was extremely helpful and easy to follow. (: Thank you.
Beautifully explained. I remember my sister teaching me this when she moved to college and I took over her chores for an enormous (felt like it) allowance!
This book is excellent! www.thriftbooks.com/w/classic-tailoring-techniques-a-construction-guide-for-womens-wear-fit-collection_roberto-cabrera_patricia-flaherty-meyers/414990/vintage/?vid=1554758062&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA1fqrBhA1EiwAMU5m_yUIGGe1ssEz244ipFB1jygLRolqc9-xlVVIH55kkCcuVCm8iRqdZRoCxkoQAvD_BwE
Such detailed and flowing videos, so easy to understand. Best I have found. Still returning to them after several years and a few bits of home tailoring.
Is there pad stitching that goes on the lower half of the jacket? I did some rows of running stitches, but is see puckering on the wool. Is the bottom canvas secured with the lining at the seams only? Thank you
Not pad stitching, but I cross stitch the edge of the canvas/hymo to the seam line. The hymo edge near the hip pocket just floats inside the jacket. Sometimes I cross stitch that edge of the hymo to the hip picket, just for an inch or two.
Thank you so much! Your videos are so simply and more detailed for my understanding. Especially the two stitch directions for the under collar. Thank you so much for responding!
Hi, that's your choice. I tend to center it. Whatever you choose to do, be consistent with placement on lapel roll line and collar roll line. Have fun!
@@lauriekurutz3639 thank you so much! I'll definitely go check that out bless you! you're such a great teacher, hope i can see more of your videos on this channel.
Thank you for this video! I love that you’re showing techniques that you have adapted for theater. I have an old tail coat alteration to work on that needs the guts totally rebuilt so it can last another 15 years in my theater. You’ve given me some great tips and I’m excited to get going on replacing the canvas.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!! I am so confused and frustrated and have shed tears..... I have a homemade corset pattern that was made to fit my measurements. I altered the pattern pieces to be a size 10 as I am closest to that. Now I need to grade down all the pieces for 8, 6, and 4 and up to a 12. It has shoulders and sleeves. Altering in the width is no problem, my huge stumbling block and what I cannot find proper info on is: In all the grading videos, it shows grading of the shoulder for example, to grade down a size go down an 1/8th of an inch on the shoulder, then UP an 1/8th of an inch at the side seam/armscye... but do I then have to move my bust, underbust, waist and stomach lines up (or down for the larger size) the 1/8" as well? I do not want to waste hours more on marking and altering if It is all wrong. TIA!
A good video showing how and why various pieces fit together but i would love to have seen the actual sewing. Especially since these techniques are not for beginners. Just a thought 😬
Hi can you please tell me if the pad stitch is permanent on the lapel or do you pull it out before the jacket is finished? Does the pad stitch show on the back of the right side?
Try to pick up as little of the other fabric as possible, it just has to hold the two pieces together and isn’t under any stress. When looking very closely you could make them out though.
Great Video, Great notes thanks for sharing. Only thing I would say is that it is very hard to see the details because of the dark fabric and dark thread. But still very good video.
