Thank you much for your totally awesome tutorial . You’re a brilliant teacher . I’ve watched so many other videos on AD but no one else shows the setting up . I need to understand . I’d created such a mess in AD and now I’m sorted. The seam allowances are genius. Thank you.
Absolutely top video. Thanks. I was looking to buy illustrator but you've convinced me that Affinity designer is the way. And the seam allowance brushes....wow! Thanks.
Hi, I am planning to, though it's having chance to do so! I've learned a great deal about patternmaking (both manual and digital) since making this video so there's lots of video ideas...hopefully later this year I'll be able to start making more videos again.
I'm so happy to find this video! Thank you a million times!! Your templates are so useful for me, as I am just starting to work with Affinity Designer and don't have practical experience with Adobe Illustrator. You explain it all so clearly! If you can, please share more resources that you use for learning pattern making and related topics. I really appreciate your work!
I discovered something when using the Seam Allowance brushes. Unless you have a "closed curve" you can't set the alignment of the stroke to be the outside of the vector. I wasn't making my pattern shapes be closed curves so I couldn't apply the seam allowance brush properly until I figured this out by searching some forums. I hope this tip helps other people!
Thanks so much for such a helpful tutorial and downloadable resources as I navigate my way through Affinity Designer for pattern projecting. Truly appreciate your efforts!
Do you use an iPad to project your patterns? I downloaded the app on my iPad, and tried opening a file from my cloud, but it says “Failed to open PDF file the file requires a password “. Let me know if you can help!
@@lucygalvan7064 I don't use an IPad for projecting patterns. I use a Windows PC and Adobe Reader to project. Perhaps your pattern's designer added security to the PDF that requires a password to open.
Awesome tutorial. I’m just getting started with leather crafting and was looking into Designer for pattern making. This is a great introduction to using this app. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! Would never have been able to start with Affinity Designer without your video. Also thank you for the Seam Allowance brushes. They are a huge time saver.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been using Affinity Designer and Photo for the exact same reason, that a monthly fee is not worth what I'm using it for. The seam allowance brush is great too. Only taking my first steps in digital pattern drafting and feeling more confident after watching this!
I'm glad you're feeling more confident! I'm hoping to make more videos about pattern cutting in Affinity Designer as I learn more about creating my own patterns - there's still a lot I need to learn first though!
@@TheHaberdasherBee After a week of learning and studying I have found two issues with Affinity that are not available and I would really need. The first issue is that you can’t make zigzag lines, or dotted zigzag for example, which I need in the line drawing. The second is a real showstopper: you can’t measure the length of a curved line. Something you really need in pattern drafting. I’ve googled and read a lot on forums but apparently this is not possible. If you or someone else knows a solution for this, I would like to know. I think I will try Adobe with the free trial.
@@SigridSewing I think Affinity is always going to have some limitations unfortunately. However, there's a free, open source software I've recently come across that is designed specifically for producing sewing patterns that might suit you better - Seamly2d. You can find it at seamly.net/ (scroll all the way to the bottom for the download links). I haven't had much chance to try it out yet, but it at least looks as though it does everything you need
You're very welcome! I am hoping to make more videos on Affinity Designer, though I still have a lot to learn about pattern making before I would feel confident making them!
Really useful information, most Affinity designer courses don’t have this sort of knowledge and I’ve only just started creating digital patterns, so I’m grateful! Not sure if this is covered elsewhere or I missed it in the video, but how do I use the seam allowance brushes when there are two or more sizes of allowance on a pattern piece? For instance a 1/4” at the collar and 5/8” for the rest?
I'm glad you found the video and the brushes useful! Because the pattern piece is one joined up item, referred to in Affinity as a curve, it will as standard only apply one seam allowance brush at a time. If you wanted to have different seam allowances on the same pattern piece, you would need to break the curve at both ends of the section where you want the different seam allowance to be - in your example, at either end of the neckline/collar curve. To do this, you'll need to select the pattern piece, use the node tool (the little white cursor) and look in the contextual tool bar at the top. You'll see an area marked "action" and the button to break curves is the first one in the section (see approx 18:53 in the video for the node contextual toolbar). Select the individual point where you want to break the curve and then hit the break curve button. Affinity will add the broken area into the layers panel on the right as a new curve, so you can then select that curve and use the other seam allowance brush. I don't know whether it will try and add the brush to both sides of a single line, however, so you might need to play around with it a little if it does. Hope that helps!
This was an amazing video. Thank you so much. I am a new Affinity Designer user and this video has helped me immensely. Thank you so much. I would love to down load the seam allowance tool but cannot see it. Could you help me where to find it please.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. If you go to the blog post linked in the video description, there's a button at the bottom of the page that says "download seam allowance"
Thank you that was really helpful. Any tips on creating a seam allowance brush that has the solid line as the seam line and the dashed line as the allowance. I guess I have to learn how to make individual brushes from scratch, or do you think your brush could be inverted somehow? Also can Affinity export the artboards as individual tiles to PDF to print? I think your A4 artboards are still the whole A4 size, so therefore they are not sized to take into account any extra space needed for printer margins (which the Patternlab ones do), or have I measured them incorrectly???? I really like working with Affinity's products too. :)
You'd need to make a brush from scratch I think, as I'm not aware of any option to invert a brush once it's been created. It's not the easiest as you'll need to make sure that the seam allowance is exactly the right size, but there are lots of videos about how to make brushes in Affinity which will show you how it's done. Yes, Affinity can export the individual artboards to PDF, though you'd have to diable all except the one you want to export. For patterns which only go across one or two pages, that's not a problem, but for bigger patterns it's just much easier to export them to one file. My templates are the exact A size, yes. I don't know how PatternLab will have made their print templates to include printer margins, as surely that would mean you're losing however many milimetres from your pattern pieces on every page.
Thanks for this video in the context of pattern making. But my question is ,is there a line tool as in Adobe illustrator that lets one make lines with specific measurements. And also the rotate tool in Adobe illustrator, which makes dart transfer easier.
I mostly use the pen tool to draw my lines, so it may have a line tool and I might not know about it. It doesn't have exactly the same tools as Illustrator though, and I know that can put some people off. As for dart transfers, you can rotate around a point using the transform panel and selecting the point to rotate around. I haven't done it for a while, but if memory serves correctly, you use the node tool to select the point and on the transform panel you can select which point on the box it rotates around (the selected point is the largest one on the grid). Hope that helps!
Hi Haberdasher Bee, I'm looking a ay to grade my patterns in Affinity. In Adobe you have the blend option which you can do in steps instead of overflowing. have you any idea how to do this? Thanks Katja
Hi Katja, in Affinity Designer V2, there is a way to grade - it's called Power Duplicate. In essence, you duplicate the original once, make your scaling changes and then duplicate the altered object. Affinity will apply the changes you made to the altered object each time you make a new duplicate. Hope that helps!
You may be able to do this if you break the curve, so that the hem is a separate layer to the rest of the pattern. You can break curves when using the Node tool (white cursor arrow) - it's in the contextual toolbar at the top. Just click the nodal point you want to break the curve at before clicking the "break curve" button - and don't forget to do this to the other end of the hem as well. I haven't tried this though so I don't know how it will display the seam allowance.
Yes, Affinity added lots of new tools into V2 which would be very helpful for creating sewing patterns. I do intend to do a video on this at some point, I simply haven't had the time so far. In short, the following new tools are useful - -The new knife tool will be very useful for slashing and spreading -The customisable background grids will certainly be useful for designing without constantly measuring (you could set them to be a 1cm or 1" grid like on pattern paper and make use of the markings as you might when drafting manually) -The area tool will be very useful for measuring the length of curves -There's finally an equivalent to Adobe's eyedropper in the Style Picker Tool -You can scale objects in a similar way to Adobe's blend tool, meaning you can now grade with relative ease - You can align objects to a key point or object, for example making sure all graded pattern pieces sit properly spaced from the centre of the piece or from an edge designed to be cut on the fold.
Extremely helpful and appreciated!!! Thank you SO much!! Looking forward to your future videos ;). I definitely understand how hard it is to juggle everything!!
@@TheHaberdasherBee thanks for this - I found it really helpful. You and @donnab445 might like to know that the contour tool is really useful as you can make seam allowances with different widths. This video explains the tool ua-cam.com/video/zpOm8AzTpW4/v-deo.html For a pattern create one layer with the sewing line only. Once complete, copy creating a second layer to use the the contour tool on - leaving it directly above the original. You can specify width based on your document settings - mine was set to inches. Make sure lines on both layers are aligned to same point: I chose aligning to outside of line so the outside of the line is the cutting line. Once every thing is right - bake the contour which switches you to node mode. You can then adjust nodes to adjust seam allowance for straight sections if desired. I haven't tried it on curves, but for curves or more complex things you can break the lines of the added contour where you need the width to change, so you can remove sections - so if you need a different seam allowance say for a hem or neckline, you could add additional layers copying from the sewing line layer, setting to a different seam allowance, then removing unwanted sections and making slight adjustments to seam allowance layers if needed. So long as you have all lines set to align to the same option, I've checked and the measuring tool indicates the width is consistent even on tight curves. I was drawing templates for drunkards path quilting. You have to label the curves so you know which is which, but that is good practice anyway.
Thank you for making this video. I'm thinking of leaving Adobe when my subscription ends, but one thing that's held me back before is that I can't see a way to grade sizes in Affinity -- have you found a way?
I am intending on making a video about how to do it in Affinity at some point, though I haven't yet learned how to properly grade a pattern, so I want to I feel confident in grading with paper blocks first. How have you been doing it in Adobe? It should be a similar process in Affinity, as it has almost all of the same tools.
@@TheHaberdasherBee I've been drafting patterns in Ai for about 6 years and to grade them I drafted the biggest one and the smallest one, and use Illustrator's blend tool to get the 'steps' in between. I asked Affinity if they had a similar tool by a different name a few years ago and they didn't, so I wondered if you'd found a work-around. No one else has even done a video on drafting sewing patterns in AD, so thank you for this! :)

@@SabrinaCWB168 If you're still looking to jump ship from Adobe to Affinity, Affinity recently released V2 of Designer and the key thing for you is that there now IS a way to grade patterns in it.

Also looks to have lots of features that Illustrator has which are useful too, like being able to measure curved line lengths and making the eyedropper tool work like it does in Illustrator. I'll likely make a video and write a post about it at some point early in the new year, but thought you might appreciate the heads up
