Also, i observed that you used the same knee measurement at the front for the back knee. You used 11.75 minus 1.5 to get the knee round at the front. Which you also used for the back. I was thinking you were supposed to use 12.75 minus 1.5 for the back knee all the way down. I am confused. Kindly put me through ma. Thank you.
@@bukolaokunola-ws9sx hello …. Please don’t be confused. Use this simple method…. Whatever you have on your hip, please minus 1.5” and use for the knee, that’s all. You can minus from as small 3/4” to as much as 2” for the knee all depending on how pencil you client wants the knee area.
You are simply amazing maam. Just stumbled on this. I want to ask....if the client i am making the skirt for is not around....what height should i use....for the bum crack. You used 16 for your own, measuring from the waist. If the client is not around, what can i use?. Thank you ma
@@bukolaokunola-ws9sx Thank you for watching my video 🙏…. You see this butt crack, I don’t advise guess work because it may fail. It’s best to ask for a measurement. I used my measurement I took on myself for the butt crack because everyone has a different butt look which affects the measurement.
Did you add any allowance for the zipper? I also noticed you didn't finish explaining the waist on the back pattern. I think you mentioned that the curve cut on the front had t also be added to the back. I am short 4'11 (my hip is 56 inches). 36 inches is in the back from hip to hip, the other 20 is in the front. Is adding and subtracting 1 inch enough? I feel like I should be borrowing more from the front and adding to the back. What do you recommend?
@@bombcherryjuice2000 hello and apologies for my late response and thank you for watching my video. First of all for the zipper, you have to add your zipper allowance and all other necessary allowances. If you watch the part 2 of this video, you will find that there. For the front curve, I meant that atimes when you go down 1.5” and curve for the front, it could give some excess at the whole waist, you will need to check that when taking the total waist measurements before you shape it at the sides. For the allocation of hip…. You can take a tape, or ask someone to help you out and measure your hip front from side to side and also the hip back from side to side and you will know the difference and use that to calculate ( which here you said back is 36 and front is 20) if using that, then you won’t have to add the 1” thing I did to the back, you will rather draft the front pattern using 20 divided by 2 = 10 Back pattern using 36 divided by 2 = 18” and if you don’t…… then you use 56 divided by 2 = 28 Then Hip front is 28 - 1 = 27” Hip back is 28 + 1 = 29” And you can also use 1.5” to do the calculation as well. If you would like us to do this together then you can get to me on the school WhatsApp number and we can do video calls and take the measurements together.
@@MbejehClaudia Hello…. Please note the zipper allowance has already been added in my drafting. So, DONT add again when adding sewing allowance on the other parts.
@@MbejehClaudia Hello…. Please note this is update on my earlier response because this is the bum allocation skirt which I don’t look at initially and my apologies for that. Please do add your zipper allowance and all necessary allowances which I did in the video 2.
Thank a lot for the tutorial. Please ma how do i achieve sleeve using ankara because after getting the measurements and allowance, i have like 2" left which is not up to the desired sleeve length. What should i do.
If you are working with Ankara and you need a longer sleeve, then you have to cut the sleeve differently and attach because Ankara has a length of 45 and width of about 23 or 25 on fold, so that won’t be enough.
Weldone ma'am Please help out on this..... Using ankara fabrics (4yards)how do I go about the sleeve length? After folding into 4 for both the front and back bodice, taking measurements for the shoulder, pleats, with additional inches for seam allowance, the sleeve length remains 5 inches, meanwhile I am using SL of 14 inches. How do I go about the sleeve length if I don't want to join? Remember if I join it will show. Do you understand me? Please help a sis ma 🙏🙏🙏

Can you tell me what your front waist length and back waist length is, then I will tell you what to use. In this method of pattern drafting, there are some of your measurements you have to tailor it to the one in the textbook. Also note that your D to A1 is the measurement of your front waist length. Let’s say your back waist length from A to D(back) is 42cm then your front waist length measurement (D to A1) will be 44cm
@@olufunkejunaid833 apologies I’m just checking my messages 🙏 the difference with regards to the Italian method of pattern drafting is too much. Are you a Uk size 20? ….. can you please chat me up on the school number so I explain better with some voice notes 08037134216 Makadel fashion school
Thank you for watching my video 🙏 I have already added the allowance for zip in the first part when I drafted the pattern for the skirt( please watch the cutting part in the first video before this one) …. So don’t add any other allowance to that part again. Please if you still don’t get it, don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I will explain further. Thank you.
Hello,..... First of all, thank you for watching my video 🙏. If you follow the cutting video, you will see that I already added a zipper allowance to it, so at this point you don't have to add any other allowance to it. And please if you still don't get it, let me know and I will see how to explain further.
@@ireoluwaomolola2938 you add allowance all round except the zipper part as that has already been added during drafting. You add at the top for joining your band, add on the side seam and the hemline for folding or joining
Gracias por el tutorial. Fue de gran ayuda para decorar el suéter que lucirá mi hija para el mes de mayo para la celebración de la etnia negra en 🇵🇦...saludos y felicitaciones
Me alegra mucho que hayas podido usar eso para tu hija. Muchas gracias por ver mi video y también por compartir el resultado. Estoy agradecido y te lo agradezco. 🙏
Pattern making for Fashion Design ; Helen Joseph Armstrong…….. Este es un libro de texto que recomiendo encarecidamente, aunque está escrito en inglés . Otros es Il Modellismo ( escrito tanto en italiano como en inglés) …… Seguire buscando A ver si encuentro alguno escrito en espanol.
My measurements are : Bust -45 Waist - 38 Hip - 48 Now I divided my bust by 4 (45/4=11.5) and I added 1 to 2” to that. Waist divided by 4 plus 1.5” Hip divided by 4 plus 1 to 2” and if I want the hip part fitted, I only add half inch. Finally, if it gets confusing, just use your exact measurements and then add zip at the back
Okay…. I will work on the video but let’s establish which of the mermaid skirts! The type you attach above the knee or the type that is cut together? Do let me know. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the video ma'am. But my concern is after cutting, because of the difference in hip measurement, (that is subtracting 1inc from the front and adding to the back), the back bodice was wider than the front bodice on the hip area. So how does one join the back and front together?
I really wish I could do a voice over to explain to you better. If you take a tape and measure your front (from side to side at your hip region) it will be definitely less than the back because of your bum at your back. So if you have 19 in front, you may have 20 or more at the back. Having said this, if you make your pattern and cut, the back skirt may be bigger than the front, don’t panic. Pls join it together first and wear it and see if it fits or not. That’s why I recommend you take a calico(muslin) or any cheap fabric and make a prototype (mockup) cut it and see fully, then let’s see the outcome first. You can also chat me up on the school WhatsApp number 08037134216 if you still don’t get it and pls let me know you are from here and it’s about the Skirt.
I appreciate you 🙏.... If I'm cutting anything above 45" length, I know I will use more fabric, I just flip and cut it on the length part( like I fold on the 6 yards part not the 45" part) it will consume more fabric because then you may end up using 4 yards . Pls do let me know if you do understand and of not, I will do a video illustration for you.
If you follow the video….. I believe you will decide what you want for your zip allowance. Zip allowances can be from half an inch to one and a half inch.
You are welcome and for the pleat… you will only stitch it as you normally do a pleat from the front to the back. You always stitch a pleat down at like the mid point. Please also do watch the part 2 of the video because I showed how to stitch it as well. Will leave a link here for you
Definitely yes you can add. I used the paper because I was teaching it as using the pattern drafting method …. So if you are cutting free hand directly on fabric please add your allowance for pleat directly in fabric too.
All that measurement to pocket point also depends on height but the easiest way to do that is …… whatever your half length measurement is ( from shoulder to waist), measure down between 1 to one and a half inches to get your pocket point.
Hello and thank you for watching my video…. The pleat has to go all the way from the front to the back but if you have a joining at the shoulder, you can have the pleat just in front 👍
Thank you so much 🙏 and yes you can do that and also decide not to. But for a start if you want to try it out, remove 1” before joint to the top part ……It will still give you a perfect fit at the front .
