Awesome! I had saved this video two years ago and only just now watching it! Had I watched it two years ago I wouldn't have had a clue what you were talking about but now that I'm familiar with Illustrator it all made perfect sense - great tip on how to measure that gusset panel!
I was sewing bags too and making my patterns with corel draw (i have illustrator but corel much easier to me). I was having hard time making the length of the pieces with curved corners. you saved my day. thank you so so much.
I'd love to see the rest of the process! Like everything from cutting it out, pasting it on his manilla, and then fabric layout and actually sewing it!
Awesome man, I'm in teaching for 10 years, before that i was a designer, just now i thought why dont we create tailoring pattern in illustrator and find you. really awesome work.
Absolutely bloomin’ freakin TASTIC! Thank you SEW much from the depths of my being! I am LOVING Illustrator and will be pumping out all my sewing patterns now! Woohooo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Thanks, Steve! I've been hand-drafting gig bag patterns (and more recently, "regular" bags) for 6 years and am just now starting to teach bagmaking and trying to learn how to do my designs in Illustrator!! So helpful!
Did this is awesome. I've been wanting to get into pattern design for leather work and this is exactly what I was looking for. It also takes some fo the mystery out of how the current bag templates I buy line up the curves to the exactly lengths they need to be. Thanks for this video!
Mehn Bro... This is great... I really appreciate the time you Put in for this vidoe, making a master class tutorial.... Good Job bro... Again.... Highly appreciative
I really enjoyed this thanks. I use many of the same align/distribute commands for distributing graphics on geologic maps, cool! I just started making small pouches and bags but the goal someday is to be able to make backpacks for me and my kids.
Hi Steve great tutorial. I am new to leather work and not even made my own pattern yet. I am busy looking around what program to use - Adobe, CAD or i see some guys use Sketchup. I take it that you would recommend Adobe? I do so little design work, i am actually looking for a free download. Many thanks, keep up the good work
Hello Steve. This is so helpful for me. I have been looking everywhere on how to make bag patterns on AI. THANK YOU! My only question is how to make it into the size of A4 so my customers can print it at their home printer? I did see your video on how to print at home but Id like to know how to do that on AI. AGAIN, THANK YOU!!
@@BagBuff well yes but before it was on a bit of paper and it changed along the way when it all didn't fit properly, but now after this video I can be confident that things fit together better and go from head design to fabric more seamlessly
Hi. I was wondering if you used a book on Adobe illustrator, because I would like to get it, or if you just played around with the different functions because you make it look so easy!!! When it most likely is not. Thank you so much.
Love this video, can you tell me what type of workspace setting this is as I do t seem to have the same layout as you ie with the appearance tab etc...
First i want to say thank you very much for your video so i am just starting to learn about this stuff. as i know a litte bit Illustrator. I wonder how to print the pattern out with exactly the size like i want to, a bit stupid but yeah i absolutely have no know idea but yes will be lovely if you can make a video to show us, like how to prin from a letter and print out the body size so we can sew it :v thank you so much Admire from Vietnam
Excellent video. A question: And if I want to make sewing stitches, to sew by hand, as I do to make them fit perfectly hole by hole. The top side panel, with the back panel and the front panel? It can?
Hey Deanna! They should have a large format printer that prints 36" wide paper. When I email them I always say "Please print on large format printer with 36" paper". I've not had an issue, but I've only used my local Kinkos. I am not sure if all of them have the same machines. Let me know if you have any issues!
Hi, great video! Loved it! I have a question though regarding the bottom side and pocket panels. Shouldn’t the padding be on the pocket panel since the bottom side panel will cover it? Rather than having the padding on the outer layer ? Thanks
Can you please sell me a detailed video on which tools to use?? I need to start making my own patterns. But I need to learn the tools clearly. Let me know how to contact you. Another thing is that I need to hand draft and then sharpen them in illustrator.
Hi Stephen, I am looking to hire someone who can create a pattern for me for a medical bag. I have a specific one in mind. Do you do anything like that, and if so what would be the charge? Or if you don't, do you have any suggestions to lead me in the right direction? Thank you so much!
I have a question... I need someone to make a digital pattern to get a sample made. but my production place is saying it'll be 200-300 bucks just for the pattern alone. how can i work around this? i obviously need but i thought i could outsource this smaller task to someone else. but finding people who make digital patterns is actually quite difficult, which im surprised by. anyone got a clue?
Hey! Anyone here able to recommend a handbag design course or channel or fashion program? I draw but know very little about the technical design of handbags... I'd appreciate any input! Thanks!!!!
@@BagBuff that was a perfect explanation. I didn't know what it would be called in illustrator but now I know. You have been very helpful and prompt in your responses to me... Greatly appreciated!
If I have a pattern that I have drawn on paper and I want to convert it using adobe illustrator how would I know what my radius is so that I could translate that into my digital pattern?
dude, you should start a full fledge channel about bag making. I'd be all about it!
This is awesome. Thanks. I’d love to see a part two where you do the cut and sew.
Awesome! I had saved this video two years ago and only just now watching it! Had I watched it two years ago I wouldn't have had a clue what you were talking about but now that I'm familiar with Illustrator it all made perfect sense - great tip on how to measure that gusset panel!

Such great information ! I just started to get into making my own patterns and this has help so much !! would love to see more !!
I just wanted to say I really liked your video. I do leatherworking and your tips and tricks for adobe illustrator were a great help to me.
I'd love to see the rest of the process! Like everything from cutting it out, pasting it on his manilla, and then fabric layout and actually sewing it!

Love you from Bangladesh
Thank you so much! So smooth, direct to the point, simple and clear explanations. Waiting for more :)
You are a legend Steve. Thank you so much for this. Subscribing to your channel.
This is SO amazing, I have never seen anyone use Illustrator this way. THANK YOU STEVE
You are welcome!
Fantastic video explanation!
Glad you got something from it! Go kick some toosh!
Really enjoyed your tutorial! Thank you. One downside, I can hear you swallow every time *tears* lol Happy I stumbled across this! **Dances**
Loved the video! I hope illustrator for ipad gets to this level!
Someday, maybe!
Awesome video! This has helped a lot moving my hand drafted patterns to digital. Thanks for the great tutorial
Mehn Bro... This is great... I really appreciate the time you Put in for this vidoe, making a master class tutorial.... Good Job bro... Again.... Highly appreciative
You bet!
thanks bro for this easy to understand tutorial..you really make my day hahahaha
i be scrolling all around for tutorial like this
This is SO amazing and awesome work,
Great tutorial!
I really enjoyed this thanks. I use many of the same align/distribute commands for distributing graphics on geologic maps, cool! I just started making small pouches and bags but the goal someday is to be able to make backpacks for me and my kids.
Fabulous and very helpful. One question, probably a stupid one. Does the printer on the other end know from the file the size to make the print?
Thank you for the informative video!! I would like to ask you . How do you know the measurement is accurate and fit well to sew a bag???
Hi Steve great tutorial. I am new to leather work and not even made my own pattern yet. I am busy looking around what program to use - Adobe, CAD or i see some guys use Sketchup. I take it that you would recommend Adobe? I do so little design work, i am actually looking for a free download. Many thanks, keep up the good work
Excellent tutorial! Thank you! I bought your udemy backpack course and finished watching. Just need to make one. I'll share once I'm done. 👌🤓

My only question is how to make it into the size of A4 so my customers can print it at their home printer? I did see your video on how to print at home but Id like to know how to do that on AI. AGAIN, THANK YOU!!
I export a full, at scale document and go through the process I did in the other video. Unfortunately I have not found a way to do this in AI
@@BagBuff Alright, thanks a lot. I will try and make a bag pattern 😊
Dude.... you just fucking changed my life with that line length info box........ what..... the.... heck!
Hey thanks heaps for this, whilst i don't have Adobe i do have Inkscape somewhat different but makes the work flow and design process make sense...👍
I'm happy it was helpful! Are you designing bags?
@@BagBuff well yes but before it was on a bit of paper and it changed along the way when it all didn't fit properly, but now after this video I can be confident that things fit together better and go from head design to fabric more seamlessly
Hi Steve, thanks for the tutorial. What does it take for you to make my patterns for me?
Hi. I was wondering if you used a book on Adobe illustrator, because I would like to get it, or if you just played around with the different functions because you make it look so easy!!! When it most likely is not. Thank you so much.
I love how honest you are
Love this video, can you tell me what type of workspace setting this is as I do t seem to have the same layout as you ie with the appearance tab etc...
Great video!
I'd love to see how you could take a semi-complicated bag, measure it and then create a template to recreate it yourself!
First i want to say thank you very much for your video
so i am just starting to learn about this stuff. as i know a litte bit Illustrator.
I wonder how to print the pattern out with exactly the size like i want to, a bit stupid but yeah i absolutely have no know idea but yes will be lovely if you can make a video
to show us, like how to prin from a letter and print out the body size so we can sew it :v

Excellent video.
A question: And if I want to make sewing stitches, to sew by hand, as I do to make them fit perfectly hole by hole.
The top side panel, with the back panel and the front panel? It can?
You could use “blend” to automatically mark out all the stitch marks along a path!
@@homelyheart Thank you
Nice project
How do you figure out the size to tell Kinko? This is an awesome video, thank you so much.
Hey Deanna! They should have a large format printer that prints 36" wide paper. When I email them I always say "Please print on large format printer with 36" paper". I've not had an issue, but I've only used my local Kinkos. I am not sure if all of them have the same machines. Let me know if you have any issues!
Great video! Thank you so much! I feel I can do this now (-:
Hi, great video! Loved it! I have a question though regarding the bottom side and pocket panels. Shouldn’t the padding be on the pocket panel since the bottom side panel will cover it? Rather than having the padding on the outer layer ? Thanks
You can put the padding wherever you want. It’s your design! Most bags don’t pad them side pockets though.
Can you please sell me a detailed video on which tools to use?? I need to start making my own patterns. But I need to learn the tools clearly. Let me know how to contact you. Another thing is that I need to hand draft and then sharpen them in illustrator.
Damn good looking guy!
🥰
Great video! Does illustrator work with cm and mm too?
Absolutely.
I can’t thank you enough!!!
would like you to update how you can create bag's design in the latest version of 2024 AI.
unfortunately I don't do patterns in AI anymore. I use Clo3D now
Super helpful tutorial. What glue to do you use to paste the printed pattern to the pattern manila?

@@BagBuff Excellent!
Which software is best for bag design clo or marvelous designer or optitex.
Wondering if you've used Rhino 6 for Windows for designing and pattern making? If so what do you think of it?
bravo - from serbia
Hi Stephen, I am looking to hire someone who can create a pattern for me for a medical bag. I have a specific one in mind. Do you do anything like that, and if so what would be the charge? Or if you don't, do you have any suggestions to lead me in the right direction? Thank you so much!
Thn you for being so professional! You didn't use not one bad word! Great! Happy to see not all of the USA have lost the English language! Great Video
Ok u said your zippers are .75 what zippers are u using? Thank in advance
Thanks so much. God bless
I used to be a designer for peakdesign and ultraspire
I have a question...

you are a god
hope you can share with us the final bag of this pattern :)
thank you so much for this though! super helpful :) great work!
How do you make a tent template?
😍😍😍
Great information here, thanks man.. though the SWALLOWING isn't nice hearing loudly...
great¨
stephen how do you add the pricking iron marks. i use a 4mm pricking iron and would like to add it on the pattern.
@@BagBuff Yes the knotches for hand stitching.
@@BagBuff that was a perfect explanation. I didn't know what it would be called in illustrator but now I know. You have been very helpful and prompt in your responses to me... Greatly appreciated!
Great video. I need some patterns made, would you be interested in making them? Or know of anyone that would?
So sorry Mary! I don’t offer that service. Depending on the pattern you are seeking there are some great subs on Reddit you can ask on!
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo, pouvez vous expliquer la marche à suivre pour imprimer ce PDF en A4 , sans perte d'information ?
What if you wanted to print on your home printer?
I made a video for that!
ua-cam.com/video/Yzbldz4rArs/v-deo.html
WHAT SOFTWARE ARE YOU USING?
Adobe Illustrator! Link is in the description 🤙
Why don't yoy use lectra or gerber to draw it easily ?
How do you determine the corner radius?
Not sure your meaning. I set my radius to whatever I think would be good. Then I test and adjust!
If I have a pattern that I have drawn on paper and I want to convert it using adobe illustrator how would I know what my radius is so that I could translate that into my digital pattern?
@@diedre20020 ua-cam.com/video/wKGbmFuitqI/v-deo.html
interesting
bro the pattern's links doesnt works!!!!
Course name
Great video. It's weird to hear you swallowing. Great video.
Why in 100% zoom size in not true
I really believe this is a great video, but after 8 minutes and all those swallowing sound I had to stop.
I knew somebody had to say something. Great video! I just couldn't take the swallowing. It's the only reason I looked in the comments.
please stop using inches)))) use millimeters )))
I use metric as well. But most people watching this video are using inches.
Mouth noises!
