How To Pattern A Flared Skirt

For more lessons on the Basics of Patternmaking, get my book, A Basic Guide To Pattern Drafting available HERE: bit.ly/BasicPat...
• In this video, Nick shows you how to create a Flared Skirt pattern using the Slash & Spread method.
• Flat PATTERN MAKING depends on previously developed patterns as a base for creating DESIGN patterns.
• The chosen working pattern used here is the TWO-DART SKIRT BLOCK.
• We will SLASH & SPREAD our SKIRT BLOCK and REMOVE the WAIST DARTS. This will help us create a FLARED Skirt shape.
• In addition, we will BALANCE our patterns making sure everything matches creating the perfect Flared Skirt!

You are AMAZING! I love your no waffle approach and this tutorial made absolute sense. Can’t wait to try it xx

[@davalonhill8208]

I love your tutorial, you make it so simple and easy to understand

[@moniqueg7250]

Thank you Nick you made things look so much easier compared to my technical pattern drafting course for class! B/c I’m lost in the sauce in class for basic stuff with following the charts, alphabets and lines and sometimes not using exact measurements for example like to the nearest 16th or what have you and I do get discouraged.

Love your video! I have a question: the front of the skirt is placed on the fold of the fabric. But for the back, do you simply cut 2?

[@lindaabraham8715]

Please consider showing how to drape a flared skirt, and compare the results with begining with a basic skirt sloper. What fabrics are best with a flared skirt? For example, see the skirt Ginger Rogers is wearing here: ua-cam.com/video/06RlwN0nddQ/v-deo.html. Is this a flared skirt, and what fabric is it? Is there a separate lining underneath? Also, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using gores? Why go to all that trouble?

Thank you, Nick, but can you make e-copies of your book, please? I'd really like a copy, but Amazon can't ship to me in Ghana. Rather frustrating

❤❤❤❤❤❤. I had this as an assignment and needed this video 2 weeks ago.

[@alaskacosplay]

This super helpful! I actually watched this immediately when it came out and I used this as the base for one of my Edwardian style skirts and I added more sweep to the hem by flaring it out more around the knee line, kinda like for mermaid gowns, to give me more hem sweep.
