Patternmaking is tough but this video shows an alternative way to create digital patterns without knowing how to patternmake. I quickly learned this method and it allowed me to digitize sewing designs to then share with others.

Been sewing for over 50 years and love what you’re doing. But I keep things old school - mechanical machine, scissors, tape measure, mechanical pencil, and either reuse the white side of wrapping paper or brown craft paper on sale from Blick. I reuse patterns constantly, and just use some tape if they get a bit ragged.

@stinkbugdesigns 2 года назад

I’ve been sewing for 20 years, and your video, ideas and giving spirit are absolutely mind blowing. You are revolutionizing sewing and making it so that everyone can be thrifty while recycling and making clothing that is a perfect fit. If there are any patterns you are ever looking for or are curious about, I’d be happy to give you any that I have! Thank you for everything, my mind is blown. I cannot wait until we have sewing tools in VR. A central place to share all of our information will be life-changing 🙌🏻

@vernonzehr 2 года назад

Here's another tip to add to this, if you can get a large sheet of glass or heavy plexi or clear acrylic, you can place it over the patters and weight it down on the corners. This would REALLY REALLY squish it flat and make the pattern more accurate when photographing it. Those big wrinkles can create lots of errors in the pattern tracing. I had no idea people did this. I constantly buy the same pants over and over. I have often thought it would be cool to try to make my own. I knew I would have to seam rip one pair apart but thought it wouldn't be practical. Now I think I may try it.

Throw back to school being taught how to use CAD and instantly realising i can use this for drafting clothes patterns. Then moved onto Illustrator.

@mio.giardino 2 года назад

I’ve done this for maternity pants; they are so $$ to buy new that this was my money saving hack.

@sochhay 2 года назад

great idea!! however instead of tracing the whole bodice you could have traced half and reflect the other, that way it will be accurate :)

@GloryAllan 2 года назад

That's a good point too. Usually I end up only showing half of the bodice on my patterns anyways :)

@Cat-li6hh 2 года назад

That works really well! I’m really bad at accurately tracing stuff so I like to trace the whole bodice and fold it in half. Then compare the halves and make them match. That way if there are any places that I traced unevenly I can split the difference or choose a side to use. After that I’ll reflect the side I want.

@georgiacorey954 2 года назад

Interesting use of phone camera. After seam rippping favorite garment, I was taught to scotch tape newspaper sheets together, then trace around the garment pieces onto the newspaper with a marker. When done altering & using the paper pattern, we folded it up inside another piece of newspaper. Then write on outside what it was & size. Saved expense of going to print shop.

@sophievanderbilt1325 2 года назад

Won't newspapers get ink all over your hands and fabric?

@georgiacorey954 2 года назад

@@sophievanderbilt1325 that has never been a big problem. You just lay out the pattern & dont rub the two together like sandpaper. Also this was "past tense" when money was very scarce.

@joannakasper5486 2 года назад

@@sophievanderbilt1325 If you iron your newspaper first it sets the ink and it is much less likely to spread. You can often buy (relatively cheaply) rolls of newsprint paper from a craft or dollar shop. Cheap Xmas wrapping paper is also good, especially if you get the wide stuff.

@erinvanhandel 2 года назад

Hey, great tip! I do the photo + Illustrator tracing this when turning paper patterns (I like to draft on paper first) into digital patterns. To double check that the digital pattern matches the paper pattern, I measure the edges of the paper pattern. For example, if an edge is 15 centimeters on the paper pattern, I'll draw a 15 centimeter line in Illustrator and move it to the appropriate edge. It's a good way to check work.

@GloryAllan 2 года назад

In a nutshell seems like we're doing the same thing :)

@diywithlots3870 Год назад

@nikiley 2 года назад

I copied a skirt one time without taking it apart. I used painters tape and covered each panel before trimming the tape where the seams are. Then peal the painters tape panel off and stick it on a piece of paper. I used the paper portion to add the seam allowance.

@sewsocialclt 2 года назад

After trying both ways, I think I trust the process of hand-making patterns first and then digitizing for easy storage and reuse. Thank you so much!

@ClintonWBlackmore Год назад

Very clever. You will get more accurate results using something larger than a 1" measurement, though. If, say, you were out by 1/8" in your measurement, the scale will be out by 12%. If, instead, you used a 10" measurement and were out by 1/8", your scale will be out by just over 1%. Better still would be to use the full panel as the scale measurement you are using. It is larger and you can check the scale horizontally and vertically.

@wendybutler1681 2 года назад

Soooo hard to tear up a favorite piece even tho you're gonna make it again.

@allisonmenge678 2 года назад

I'm so happy people are starting to do this! I noticed a lot of youtubers posting similar tutorials and it makes so much sense! who has space for physical patterns anyway lol

@konradnowak9712 2 года назад

For the most patterns, that are symetrical, it would be a better idea just to find that center line, trace the half of the pattern and than just mirror it. In this way You'll have two perfectly matching halves. ;)

@GloryAllan 2 года назад

Totally agree

@johnandevefoster3816 2 года назад

so, my husband brought me a pattern from a fabric store. I pulled that out and immediately became overwhelmed and lost. All it was was how to make those stretchy tight fitting leggings for our young daughters. pretty simple, right? those patterns have way too much info on them. So, I did what you did... I got out an old worn out pair that fit them the way they like it. I used my seam ripper. NOW I HAVE all I need. I am not using any kind of technology other than my seam ripper and my machine. ... also I just took apart half of it .. we really only need one side to make both sides.

@icannotpretend5834 Год назад

That was exactly my experience 35+ years ago. The pattern was just too overwhelming and full of info. I seam ripped my clothes, trace them onto cardboard and that's my pattern. Never gone digital or used a store bought pattern before

Add a ruler to the height direction as well if you can. Then if you didn't hold the phone perfectly flat, you'll know and perhaps even be able to correct with a small distortion.

When taking the photo, try standing on a chair so you will have to zoom in on the clothing. That way you get less of the wide angle lens distortion that you will get if you're close to the garment.

Such a cool hack thank you! ❤️ Large format printers aren’t too expensive you can get a decent one for $1200 or a used one for even less (universities upgrade theirs all the time and their auctions are a good place to check- I worked at one ☺️). Paper is $50 a roll and inks about the same. If you make a lot of patterns this will save you money in the long term. 💕
