The video is a must watch for pattern lovers. in this video, you will be able to combine two different fabrics to crate a lovely design to your pleated #kaftandress or #bubu #find #onlineearning
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
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
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.
Gudpm ma'am! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us here! May God Almighty continue to enrich your pocket & ur knowledge. But please ma can you please make a tutorial on a single pleated shoulder enclosed at the waist line & attaching a long sleeve to dress. Thk ú once again
Very helpful but apart from the slit allowances did you add Sewing allowance for ease.& did you add allowance on the hem side or you use same hip measurement down to hem side during your basic pattern drafting.?Will you shape your armhole if you want your sleeve fitted. thanks.
Yea I added ease allowance since I did not make it as a fitted wear. For my standard ease where I don’t want the outfit to be too big, I add 1” ease at bust, 1.5” ease at waist and 1” ease at hip which I took all the way down because there are slits at the sides but if there were no slits, I will extend the hem to be more than the hip. For the armhole yea if it has to take sleeves, then it has to be shaped to fit the sleeves.
Thank you….. if you want to add zipper to it, then you will have add 1” allowance at the back and of course it means you will have to open up the back .
@@jimohabisola3157 Hello Abisola…. No you don’t need to add a zipper at the shoulder. You just add allowance of 1” at the back and split it open to add your zipper. The should still remains the same.
Well done dear. God will continue to bless you. I have not watch you vedio but read through the comments to know if to watch or not, as the way you respond, some with apologies had made me love your channel, keep it up. I'm a new subscriber.
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 👍
Thanks ma for this ma. My client want slit infront and the pleat to stop at the hip line with pocket will I add 1.5 to 2 inches to her body measurements hope it will not be too free at the down part of the dress.Pls ma I need urgent attention on this ma
Can you please chat me up on WhatsApp so if I have to call you to give a proper answer to your question, I will do so. Makadel WhatsApp number is 08037134216
Thank u ma. Love d pattern method. Wanted to ask u, since it is a bit fitted, what ease or allowance was added to ur measurement since there is no zip?
I added 1.5 to bust after dividing my actual measurement. Eg bust 40 divided by 4 = 10 then 10” + 1.5= 11.5 I will use 11.5” for the quarter bust I added 2” to the waist and added 1.5 to the hip
Thanks for sharing this beautiful tutorial.🙏👍 Am not very clear on how you did the area where you slashed to the sleeve area and because of the white paper. I’ll look at it again to see if I can get it right. Thank you 🙏 👍
You can make this and separate the sleeve .... Meaning you will attach the sleeve back to the dress or cut the sleeve together with the dress as well like I did. I choose it that way because I wanted the sleeve like a kimono. Please do ask me anything where you don't understand and I will take time to explain here. Thank you
Hello…. I used all the normal body measurements but I added 1” for bust example….. bust 44 divided by 4 = 11 then to get the bust measurement to use. I do the quarter of the bust which is now 11 + 1” for ease and plus 1” for sewing allowance which means 11+ 1 + 1 = 13” for bust Waist 40 divided by 4 = 10 + 1.5” for ease + 1 for sewing allowance Hip 50 divided by 4 = 12.5 + 1” for ease + 1” for sewing allowance At the extend it so the person can walk well and of course you will have side slits. For the slash and spread you can use between 6 to 8 depending on how wide you want your pleat but I used 6”
I understand but u if u can start from d beginning of ur drafting it would have make sense, wat makes it fitted gangan? What part of d body do u used to fold it and how many inches allowance do u added to it?
Hello Evelyn..... You know because I was making it to be loose when I drafted the pattern before alteration o..... The original body measurements was what I used and added between 1.5" to 2" to the bust waist and hips so it will be free. In the case that you want it fitted with zip at the back, you can add only 1/2(half)" to those measurements.

With all due respect ma.. your tutorial is making it look difficult... I think cutting directly on a fabric would have been better.. remember that beginners are watching.
Apologies this is not how to cut on fabric, it is how to make this outfit using pattern making techniques. I had said I will do a video for those that reached out to me that they wanted me to share how to cut it free hand on fabric. So please note that this was strictly a pattern drafting method not free hand on fabric. Thank you
Also please do ask me the particular thing you don't understand in the drafting and I will respond. But in a week or 2, I will be uploading the freehand cutting of this outfit without any paper pattern 🙏
