This man literally just turned me into a tailor of men’s suits…. I had the understanding of pants bodice but now I know how to do a both!!!! ITS ON NOW
I'm learning so much from this. Thank you! The thing that keeps tripping me up is knowing as I draft the pattern along with your tutorial is which measurements are custom and which are standard. My husband is a tall man with broad shoulders, big chest and slim hips so the edges that need to be joined I'm having difficulty lining up.
You can do it! The ones that require that you use your specific measurement, it's stated explicitly and the standard ones are so mentioned. Respectfully, if you could watch the video again and take notice of same I'll be glad 🙏🏽 🥰
Honestly. I was desperately trying to find a real tutorial for how to use the measurements in drafting and every other one was confusing for me. This explained it in such an easy to understand way it take a lot of the worry holding me back away.
Can you do a video explaining how to get the body measurements? I know people measure differently, so I want to make sure I’m measuring the body the same way that you do
@@JK-CLOTHING It really is, actually I'm thinking of starting a business since I'm a dressmaker but this time I wanna learn tailoring too. Thank you so much, I really appreciate this 🥰
Thanks for the compliments. The 6 inches was removed because it was added to the side panel which had not been added to the measurements. And so if you do not take the 6 inches off and you draft the back, the front plus the side panel, the suit will be weigh bigger than needed.
@@JK-CLOTHING Ahhhh got it! Thank you. It's been a long, long time since I got my fashion degree and haven't drafted anything in many years. My pattern book I created (which was my bible of basic patterns) was stolen from university.
@@kikumi4637 so sorry. But you know it's never too late to pick up the pieces and move on. The skills are still there in you. You only need to start and boom, there you go!!
Your tutorials are always outstanding, thanks so much for putting so much time to your teach and pls how can I send pictures of what I will you to teach next. Mr JK you are simply the best. Really wish you were in Nigeria. Pls how do we create the collar and sew the suit. Thanks once again
Regular shirts have front and back patterns and so the measurements is usually divided between the front and back patterns. But in a suit, there's a side panel added to make it 3 pieces. So the 6 inches deducted is used for the side panel. If you study the drafting of the side panel very well, you'll understand it better sir 🙏🏽 🥰. Thanks for the feedback too
After watching this, I’m curious where you got the seemingly random little measurements like the here and there 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch or anything like that? I’m very new to clothing design and I’d like to learn more!
Thank you for instructor, Please what happens to 1. The 6 Inches you diducted from the measurements. 2. The 2 inches from the chest and body, and 3 inches from hips you diducted. While making you only make use of the measurements when making the back and used half shoulder measurement for front. Please help
1. The 6 inches deducted is what is used for the side panel 2. The 2" and 3" is used to get the back panel shaped So when you've had your back panel, plus the 6 inches on the side panel plus half of the shoulder to shoulder used for the front panel, you'll end up getting your full body circumferences, even with a bit of ease. What I'd pray you do will be to use your own body measurement. Follow the steps as have been instructed. After drafting the back, side and front panels, measure the chests of the 3 panels and add them then compare with the measurements you took earlier. Do same for the waist, and hip and you'd know if it's accurate or not Thanks for the comment
Am a designer but new in suit making.The measurements and all is kind of confusing to me. Can you let me know the steps I need to do to get the cutting perfectly one day
I am Calvin in this break down ,of back part thats drafted first, what syztem is used, in my case Sh/17 ch/42 wst/36 seat 42 how do u get Arm depth an first measures to full length
Suit has some standardized methods and measurements to use. 10 inches used as arm depth line for you will be ok More so this is a tutorial. It can't have all the peculiar instances for time sake. So it's appropriate to learn this, then experiment with other figures and you'll come up with adaptations that best suits your needs
Each measurement counts because some are multiplied by 2 or 4 and are significant. Some of the measurements are meant for all sizes, virtually. Some are derived from the body measurement being used The video is self explanatory There are 4 other videos on the sleeves cutting, the sewing and everything. Thanks for coming through with this
Such an amazing and detailed video! Thank you! But i do have a question. Are the measurements in the beginning (like the waist) measured as circumference or just from one side ?
All I have to say thanks Jehovah for the gift you have and you don’t keep it to yourself until we pay for it privately but you give freely thank you please more on the side measurement explanation please sir. Your subscriber from Sierra Leone more will follow
Wow! just found this now and your explanation made it so easy to understand. But Sir, I want to know if I can replicate a female suit with this pattern?
But im wondering a bit if the suit wouldnt reduce in size because 2-3 inches are taken out from the back measurement at the beginning and also took out 1inch from the side pattern
@@JK-CLOTHINGThank you for replying . I saw in one of the comments that we shouldnt use measurement for a fitted dress .Does that mean i should add 1 inch to my bust or chest ,waist and hip before I subtract 6 inches to get my suit measurements .Is it the adjustment needed or they are other adjustments as well.
@@faithmpofu2094 you can add 2 inches to your bust measurement. You don't also use your actual waist measurement. Instead whatever you use for your bust, you take off 4 inches to use as your waist measurement since blazers are not meant to fit tightly
@@JK-CLOTHING Thank you sir ,I get it . On the Hip measurement there is no adjustment or if I add 2 inches to it as you suggested for the bust measurement ,is it ok ?
Good job and clean drafting, sincerely, you are excellent teacher on this teaching of suit drafting, i just watched the video with more attention, I'm really grateful for the great effort, you put in for us to benefit this tutorial, i have subscribe both on UA-cam & SnapTube A Big Thank. Special request? 1.Apart from back and middle panel, how do you get the front panel? 2. Can we use the same method for children suit? Thanks so much, God bless in Jesus name.
Grateful for your comment and compliments 🙏🏽 To your question 1. You get the from by using the shoulder to shoulder measurement divided by 2 2. You can use same method just that the figures may change because of the measurements. For instance, the 6 inches side panel could be reduced to 5 or 4 or less depending on the size of the client What I advice is to experiment some of these things to come up with best measures that suit you as the designer. Tutorials are meant to give you a fair idea of what something is. The individual designer picks it and sometimes tweaks it to suit a particular need
If the ones you've watched were OK for you to make a suit with, why the need to look out for another? Our method is not just unique, but efficient my dear 🥰
I'd be happy if you try it out with polyester fabric, the one we use as lining for our dresses and check the fitness before you use your correct fabric
@@JK-CLOTHING can u please tell me why u are use certain number to divide or subtract, like dividing by 6, subtracting by 2? B) Why are you u using suit measurement instead of Regular measurement, what is the difference?
The 6 subtracted is for the side panel. Because usually our drafts are made up of front and back patterns but for suit, it's back, side and front. So you have to distribute the measurements so that the 3 patterns add up to make your measurements
This must be the easiest set of instructions I've seen, thank you for this, will make my sewing work drastically easier.

Please do you have a video of how to take the measurements
Great video! Thank you. However still not understanding why you removed 6" from all measurements at the beginning?
Thanks for the compliments. The 6 inches was removed because it was added to the side panel which had not been added to the measurements. And so if you do not take the 6 inches off and you draft the back, the front plus the side panel, the suit will be weigh bigger than needed.
You may want to try that

Let's see what God grants us ❤️🤍🖤
Why do we subtract from the original measurements, if they are what the measurements are? I am a beginner.
The 6 inches subtracted, is what's used in building the side panel
Please why did you minus 3 from the hip measurements and minus 2 from the chest and waist measurement?
That's to get the back pattern smaller than the front pattern
@@JK-CLOTHING okay, thanks so much

@@JK-CLOTHING can u please tell me why u are use certain number to divide or subtract, like dividing by 6, subtracting by 2?
B) Why are you u using suit measurement instead of Regular measurement, what is the difference?
The 6 subtracted is for the side panel. Because usually our drafts are made up of front and back patterns but for suit, it's back, side and front. So you have to distribute the measurements so that the 3 patterns add up to make your measurements
The division by 2 is because the patterns are on fold and will be opened up to make the body
