Thanks!! You made my day! I have just started and i am happy you enjoy the video. Feel free to send requests about further sewing and fashiondesign topics i should make a video about.
This was amazing and so very helpful! I am instantly a new subscriber and can't wait to learn more from you! Thank you for a concise, clear and motivating video! 🙏🏾💖
Found this video because I have been on a mission to clone a skirt, some dress pants, and some tops. This is the best instruction I have seen yet for how to truly clone your clothes! thank you for sharing. :)
I have a favorite t-shirt, slightly fitted, and starting to show its age. Thank you for your direct and simple instructions, heading to the next video to see how I will (edit) sew it together, thank you!
Cloning my favorite clothes has been a bit of a long term hobby of mine. The one thing that I have a large (not crazy large but usability large) collection of my favorite brand of underwear. I have had to turn to this method because it has become harder to source my preferred style (cut), fabric and size of underwear. I often use the other clothing that has been worn to a point where I can't wear it in public (mainly t-shirts or occasionally leggings). Eventually, I will be using the same method to clone a corset that I will be harvesting the bones and the lacing panels but will slightly alter the cloned pattern so that it better fits my wonky body. And because I like to make things harder for myself (cause I'm a bit weird), I will be hand sewing it just as I do for the other cloned clothes I have made.
Thank you for your video. I was wondering about small pleats on the upper neckline of a knit shirt, how would you go about adding inches? My thought is measure each pleat ( or tuck ) and double.
Hi Shanna, I think you could do it the same way thank with the darts. Just folding away the width of your pleats and continue tracing. Make sure you mark the beginning and end of each pleat. I think you are on the right way. I hope this was somehow helpful.
Hi Carole, so far it has never damaged anything for me. the tracing wheel is very pointy and thin. Just with things like leather, plastic and other nonwoven/nonknitted materials you would see a permanent perforation. Best and good luck.
How do you find the straight grain line on your trouser parts? On both tops, that is easy, because you find it on the middle line. But for the trousers, I would like to know how you do that....
So if there is no grainline marked on the pattern take the middle of the hemline and the middle of the waistline and connect the two points. That will be your line you can use as your grainline. ✌️
@@SoftskillAtelier wow, that’s a great tip!! Could be a good short video, how to place the grain on various garments (and when to break the rules for different effect).
After tracing out the pieces, how would you expand them? I'm thinking of tracing pattern pieces from a dress I have, but expand them out several inches so I can recreate it to fit me.
There is several ways of making clothes fit. But if you add everywhere the same amount it usually doenst fit so well anymore. My aproach is to measure your own body. For example the waist and compare it to the waist of the pattern and always divide all your horizontal measurements by 4.Add the missing difference on the sideline and smoothe it out and create a new sideline. Other measurements you can measure is chest and hip.
Thank you for your video. I am excited to try your method.
Where have you been hiding I love this!😆😀💖

Could you tell me please, does the tracing wheel damage the garment?
Thank you

I can imagine an awl or needle would do the job if you dont have a tracing wheel.
Exactly! It basically just needs to puncture the paper trough your garment! 🤞
@@SoftskillAtelier Gotta try this sometime with my fav things :D
Is there one for a dress?
Hi, it really depends on the dress but you could actually apply all the techniques that I show in this video on a dress.

I know an easier way. Just measure it!
That works for some simple pieces… if there are curves it gets usually hard to measure.
Please, background music not needed ! It disturbs attention !
Haha! If you don’t like it, mute it and use the subtitles. Smart people come up with solutions instead of complaining.
