    Your video and presentation style are awesome! I'm 3 months away from graduating from a 2 year online fashion diploma, and they expect us to have more skills than they actually teach us! They also stopped teaching digital patternmaking, so I've had to learn on my own b/c I find sitting at a computer easier than hunching over a large piece of drafting paper to work with pens & rulers. The bonus is the drastically reduced paper waste! I only wish I'd discovered you sooner! 😄

    • @LydiaNaomi

    I've been making patterns using AI too and you taught me some great tips to help further my progress!!! Thanks so much. I usually keep the individual sloper on a locked layer below the new style, as a point of reference in case I have to make adjustments so I can always refer back to the original. It makes sure my sizes and proportions are consistent.

    @wzrdreams Рік тому +1

    Firstly, thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I learned a lot of great Illustrator tips and commands from this video. Secondly, I noticed a pattern drafting issue that I see quite often in indie patterns that where likely created in illustrator. The angle of the bust dart legs is changed when moving the dart apex away from the buts apex. This, it changes the angle of the dart leg as it intersects with the side seam and causes the side seam to dip inward at the dart and the tip of the dart intake to extend beyond the side seam when it is folded out and sewn. This is something that gets corrected when drafting in paper during the truing process (fold out the dart intake to check the shape of the side seams). I would recommend printing that front bodice piece to fold out the dart and check the flow of the side seam to determine how to tweak the dart legs and/or side seam to true the pattern.

    • @LydiaNaomi
      @LydiaNaomi  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! This can easily be done with Illustrator as well. I may not have done it in this video I'd have to re watch to remember but I know how to create perfectly flush dart bulk in illustrator :)
      This is something I can pay more attention to with grading though, so thanks for the tip!

      Hi Jess,
      I have heard of a pattern software that is free called Valentina. I haven't used it much and I am not sure its as user friendly as illustrator but you can definitely try it. There are probably lots of tutorials online.
