Wow, that's a lot of work. Makes me really appreciate the price of store-bought sewing patterns. Nice job! Very informative.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I spent all day yesterday drafting a knit bodice block using a different video, and the shoulder width/arm scye and neck circumference all came out unusually. I had just about given up and was going to trace a t-shirt I own, but then you released this video! I can't wait to try your method today :)

Note that sometimes a pattern might look "weird" because bodies are not all shaped the same. The proof is in the fit of the final product. You can estimate fit with paper to see if you're way off, but since this is stretch the proof is in sewing it from stretch fabric.
