Also would make a great mock cuff look on a sleeve.

Love the safety pin trick Tricia! Quick Q please - do you then have to remove the zig zag stitching because it’s showing on the right side? 🤔

That's crazy simple. Thanks!

I’m beginning to see how so many things are actually just a dart.

It's all about the dart! No matter the shape the dart takes!!

Bloody genius woman! It’s witchcraft. No faffing with rulers and 1/8” etc. thank you so much!

Thanks sooo very much for sharing this information!❤️❤️❤️

Could I use all this info (from the whole channel) if I want to learn how make dress for dolls, (1/6 scale) :)

You’re right I didn’t know some of these were darts. It amazes me how many ways you can change the look of something by moving the dart.

Love your channel's spirit, but I have just one small critique. After the introduction, in my opinion... the volume of the music clashes with your spoken message. If we could taper down the background music a bit so viewers, like myself can learn and focus on your message, opposed to struggling to jam with the beats 🤷🏾. Or, just pause the music altogether. Too much noise clutter. Nothing personal.

I'm making Vogue 9000 and needed more room in the waist so I decreased the two front and four back waist darts by the appropriate ammout. I hope this was a legit way to alter it. I made a mock up of the bodice and it fits well. Now I have to figure out what to do with the skirt pieces at the waist. Feeling lazy so I'm thinking of taking a narrower seam allowance and tapering to 5/8 at the hip line. I never considered the side seams as a hidden dart but can clearly see from your example how that is true. Great little video! 🍄🌻

Wow! Thanks!

My half scale dress form name is Clara

I like the way you teach. I have seen many instructional videos on dress forms, but I would like to see a tutorial from you. I would like your opinion on purchasing one how to buy the correct size and how you would suggest making the form fit an individuals body. 🌸

The trick with the card to lengthen the sleeve is one I am going to add to my toolbox. Tricia you truly are the Queen of the Safety Pin pinning through that card with one hand.😂 Great video.

Thank you for providing the traditional expectation of where a sleeve is supposed to hit the hand. I have had this be a point of debate frequently. I can't break the rules until I know what they actually are! 🤣

Fashionpedia has a fabric swatch book

In the past, I have made patterns and clothes for historical recreation. I had covid last year and now struggling with long covid. Brain fog has been a real struggle and I'm trying to teach myself pattern drafting and making clothes again. Thank you for reminding me that I don't have to remember everything! I have Helen Joseph Armstrong's book and Jenny Rushmore's book. Looking into finding a copy of Julie Cole's book. You are both amazing and looking forward to next month's live!

Omg a light bulb moment Thanks Tricia 🎉

Thank you so much for this video. I was just about to "slash and re-draft" but this is so much easier and will work great for a simple pattern like an apron. You just saved me hours of work. Subscribed and signed up for the newsletter.

Hey , I am a bespoke tailor and can tell you my actually favourite book and system is red of Guido Hofenbitzer. It brought me to next fitting lever for trousers and everything.

Kathleen Spike's book Sew to Success was my bible when I started my custom dressmaking business. The dewey decimal code for costume books is 391. I often raid the library for patterning, design and fashion history as my bookcase is full. The TR Cutting Books are next on my list.

Catching this on the replay as I got my left eye cataract removed today. In regards to fitting I wish they had techniques or tools to help with things such as fitting with a belly, bad knees, bad back, or other physical limitations.

I do love sewing and pattern making books. It’s an addiction

The exact type of video, I've been looking for... See you then

Thank you for explaining this❤

Great 👍 just to ask when you see darts in that are large do you make the bulk of them smaller so they don’t show as much on the finished garment ??

Thanks Tricia great tutorial, much easier than I thought 🎉🎉

I would get so excited when we taped together our pattern pieces to see how the pattern looked when I was learning pattern making. It was such a fun thing to do and helpful to see if the design was going the way you wanted. I never thought of double breasted garments as being similar to wrap garments🤦‍♀

Thank you for doing this video. I have been wanting to do a wrap dress or skirt. I haven't found a pattern, but I have the book you referenced and now I feel more empowered to begin the process!

Made it much clearer when you did the little paper model. I love a wrap skirt.

I love my rotary cutters. I can use scissors but my hand fatigues very easily. I broke my dominant right hand & lower arm in 8 places several years ago. On another note my daughter in law got me the neatest device for my rotary cutter. It screws on to my olfa cutter and has an extension that I can move in & out to line up to add desired seam allowances I need or want. I can cut my patterns without seam allowance and do my alterations and then as I’m cutting with rotary cutter at same time add the seam allowance.

I made pattern drafting using my own measurements but it turned out awful.. I did so many pattern drafts but unfortunately, nothing fits me as I look petite so it's hard to come up with an accurate pattern, and trust me it's so frustrating. what to do?

Some very good tips. I did the free pattern making thing and it had lots of great tips. I’m definitely going to join the newsletter thing and the project planner thing . I keep a calendar and a note book & sticky pads. Also what is block interfacing? I am getting ready to interface a large piece of fabric and would this be a quicker way to do it!

Amazing video Tricia. That is exactly how I plan. So true about the time it takes. Batch sewing multiples seems like it is taking forever then all of a sudden it is done. Lots of great advice in this video, thanks for making it.

You are AMAZING! Thank you for all you do!

This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your experience.

❤

What a useless video. Stop wasting time

Great idea thanks Tricia. 🥳🥳

Just wanted to say, I came across your video while searching for how to make my own patterns. Although I'm not in the market for this right now, I can absolutely see the value in having a teacher make a sloper for me so that I can fast track to another aspect of pattern making. You're providing a valuable service to people by taking out some of the leg work and it's a shame more people in this world are not aware of the option to scroll on past something if they don't like or agree with it. There is dignity in making money as a creative person, and when people choose to criticize that and your blouse instead of keeping their negativity to themselves, it is more of a reflection on them than on you and your work.

Would love to do a tutorial but I’m going to have to look at this at least a couple more times to get the complete hang of it.

Great tutorial. I love a cowl neck design.

Very informative. I wouldn't have thought to set the pattern on the bias, but it makes total sense. Thanks!

1. Distribute the elastic in the leg opening so there's more take-up in the back than in the front 2. If you're raising the leg opening, only raise it in the front

That's an amazing trick. I have a roll of fishing line I used for bridal veil hems and it is langusihing in the draw, now I know another use for it. Will definitely use a safety pin.😂

This video comes at the right time because I need a way to tack down the skirt lining for a 1920s refashion. I cut a floor length dress to knee length to add fringe and beads. I planned to use my serger to create a thread tack, but it is presently in need of repair. So, I plan to use your directions to hand create the thread tack possibly doing the French tack style. I need to have it done in 2 days for a production of The Great Gatsby. Thank you so much for this video ❤.

How do you self measure Arm length?? With cuffs?

Thanks for your tutorial, excellent method.

Omg 😱 I've been trying this method for a while now, your explanation made me understand better.... thank youuu🙏🏽
