Fr!!! i didnt even realised that it was that long i just enjoyned the video
I understand the aspect of mathematics jagons cos I just paid for one 😢
Abegi, who measures anyone from shoulder to burst; burst to waist; waist to hip?
What’s worth doing at all, is worth doing well for the sake of eternity.

"Nobody has to know" was honestly the most comforting thing i've heard and majorly calms my perfectionist streak. Like if i sew and it turns out "bad", who's gonna know unless i tell them
Lovely vid, thank you 💗
Well said!
You’re a natural teacher ! So effortlessly done! Thank you so much
❤
I agree, you are the best. Thank you
Great tips on measuring areas that are often NOT mentioned in tutorials! You gave us an Excellent tutorial !
This is by far the best channel for drafting a pattern to fit YOURSELF!!! I was having difficulty with the armhole being wayyyyy to big on other channels😐😒its like they were taking average fashion industry standard numbers and mixing it with their personal measurements. Its cool if it works for them but I can't take the fiddly calculations, hard work all to no avail. Thank you young lady for making my clothes FINALLY!!! fit properly😍
I'm happy it helped :). I am still learning myself and hope I can share more. Have a lovely day.
this is true, for years I’ve always cut my armhole in same cut even though it is clear that my front armscye is smaller than the back and it’s an area that have to adjust every single time.
Who, in their right minds, dislikes such a video?
Thank you for this video. It's extremely informative.
Some people are just miserable, and want everyone else to be, also.
Hi Jo no I’ll I I bill lol I i
I haven't even gotten halfway through and I've learned so much! This is so easy to follow and extremely well done. 😊
You have no idea what you have done for me, I could have easily paid hundreds of dollars for this and still waste time trying to figure it out, but I got it all in a little under 4 hours. Thank you and keep up the good work
That's Fab! I hope as I make more of these, people continue to find them useful ✨
@@CreatedIAm🆘🆘🆘🆘hola tesoro me acabo de subscribir y ya tienes una alumna nueva.😇😇😉😉 Podrías por favor poner decir paralelamente en CM o redondeamos cada pulgada a 2,5CM?🧐🧐🤪🤪.pues 2,54cm son 1 pulgada habría mucha variación en la medida?😨😨😰😰😱😱😭😭. Agradecería respuesta para poder hacer tus proyectos con un buen resultado. 🙏🙏🙏🙏Muchísimas gracias por aportar y regalarnos tu experiencia y conocimientos y sobre todo cuídate muchísimo. 🤗🤗🤗🤗😍🤩😍🤩😍🍀🍀🍀🐝🐝🐝🆘🆘💕💕😉😉😜😜😜
Thank you so much....love it
Perfect video! I'm very short and standard clothes from stores never fit me vertically. Everything is too long for me. My bust line and waist line are considerably higher than those standard measurements. That's why I've finally decided to sew something myself. I've already watched several tutorials but you are the first one who considers ACTUAL vertical lengths instead of using standards. THANK YOU!
Same!
I have a long torso, short legs and short arms. Pants are usually ok for me to find a good fit, but shirts.... all of them are short on me in the length and arm length is varied
I’ll never understand why anyone would use standard lengths when drafting their own pattern. Isn’t the whole point to make something fitted to yourself? It just makes sense to do it with your exact measurements 🙂
I've tried to make my own block patterns from instructions in sewing books, but your vid explained the "why" and "how" so much more. I plan on watching the rest of the links in this vid. Thank you!
Like everyone else, I agree and can attest to the fact that this was an awesome video and you've made my pattern making experience seem effortless. Keep doing what you do as it surely helps.
Out of all the videos I’ve watched yours has been a tremendous help! I am so thankful for how detailed your explanations are and how you walked us through the whole process!
Cant agree more
I am learning to draft patterns by watching your tutorials and making clothes and find your lessons very helpful I will keep on watching till I master this skills I am 79years old and finally learning how to do this better and I want my end work to look professional. I have self taught myself and Been sewing for my children and for years and never happy with my outcome but I think these tutorials will help me finally be happy that I'm not a jill of all trade and master of none. I want to be really good at this thanks for the tutorials please don't go too fast. thanks
Gosh, this video gave me so much more than I expected. It’s literally perfect for the dress I’m trying to make for my birthday. Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️ I literally want to cry right now. I spent 3 days on UA-cam searching for a video just like this.
Wow! Happy birthday in arrears. I am glad this helped 😊
I’m so happy I stumbled across this video. I’m determined to sew myself something today.
Wow I’m absolutely amazed at your skill and perfectly explained instructions. Drafting patterns from measurements seems so intimidating but you’ve just made my life easier. Thank you so much for creating this video!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
You should definitely be a professor./teacher Your way of explaining is perfectly understood.
thank you so much! I was sewing a tangeled costume and you saved my bodice. I would have been lost without you!
Thank you so much for the great tutorials. I have just made the bodice block, will make the sleeve tomorrow and look forward to
using them loads x
Just the clarity of where to measure is refreshing and I thank you!
This is the best video on making your own block because you tell us perfectly how to make it to our own bodies!!!! Fantastic! I am really grateful!
I'm glad its helpful 😊
I am a beginner sewer and I am so glad I find this channel to help me. No fancy book needed. Thank you.
Love your tutorial. Best DIY bodice draft I’ve seen; Thank you .
Thank you so much for this! I've looked everywhere for a basic bodice I could alter to fit my needs and all I found where T-shirts or other loss fitting and formless things! ya girl wants to make something fitted! lol this helped a bunch, and thank you for explaining the why behind things a well.
You what everyone needs, in their sewing life. Thank you for going beyond the basic principles of a bodice construction.
You’ve brought the clarity that I desperately needed in construction of a personal bodice. God Bless you and I hope you’re doing well. ❤💐
I've watched an outrageous amount of tutorials and I did not understand anything. Your tutorial on the other hand was awesome! I was waiting for the part where I click away because I wasn't understanding, but that moment never came! Thank you for making a beginner sewist not afraid of patterns, having a base for my bodice is a huge game changer, thank you so so much!!
Thanks so much for this incredible video. New to sewing and I’ve been watching videos all day on drafting and your video filled the missing pieces. Now I feel confident to move forward. Thanks so Much again Queen Blessings to you
this is the most helpful video I've ever watched. Clearly explained everything! and showed everything in time with the voiceover! Super easy to follow and now I have a great pattern that I will be using for all my new sewing projects!! thanks for this great video :))
Best video on UA-cam! Good job. So detailed and perfect and it answered so many questions that i kept wondering about. Searched everywhere for answers and then i stumbled upon this video. You explained why certain things are done and showed us how as well. You’d make a perfect teacher. You are a life saver, bless you 🙏🏽
THANK YOU!!! I have been STRUGGLING with certain elements of making alterations and after seeing what and how you measure, it makes total sense! I am NOT a standard fit by any means, so why use it and get mad when my altered clothes fit as poorly as ones off the rack. You just ended so much frustration! Thanks so much. You're doing God's work! ❤😊
Thank you for your instructions and explanations for all measurements. This is more detailed than 3 years earlier.
I only watched 2 min of the video but saved it because I think thus is exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you. Great explanation. I learned in elementary school how to draw patterns but forgot abd don't have my notebook. Been searching on how to for a while. This is the only so far I found that is totally from scratch, no patterns no special tools. You're awesome.
A God send, thank you so much! So easy to understand and the replay value is astounding xxx
Can you do a video of showing us how to make princess seams using this method? Other than that this video was THE BEST in describing how to make a custom bodice block! especially when you explained why you're suppose to divide some measurements by 2 nd 4!
Thank you for your suggestion. Princess seams are lovely and I would like to do a video on it one day. Im currently looking at different ways of doing it. If a video comes up I'll try to let the know 😊. Blessings
Hi! New to your channel, and I just wanted to say thank you so much! This is the most easy to understand bodice drafting video I've ever seen! I was able to follow along with no problem, and you make it less intimidating. I'm going to give it a try this weekend! I will definitely be subscribing to learn more. Keep up the great work! I appreciate you! 😄
Honestly, just this morning I wrote that I wanted to find how to do top with sleeve! And you even included how to take measurements! I am excited to do this with you💝🙏💝thank you so much!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This is an amazing video for all people who sew! And I love all the details! I'm so glad I found your channel!
This is the absolute best video I’ve found on making a pattern! I’ve watched several other videos and they make it so complicated. Thank you so much for this awesome video!
Wow, thank you! Glad it is helpful ✨
Yes darling, you were born for it..
I have triied it and it worked.
You are blessed
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Other video tutorials lost me within 5 mins. Your style of teaching is so clear and I can’t believe I made it through to the end with a finished block. ❤️👏🏼🙏🏼
This is exactly the video i need! Thank you so much for uploading.
Thank you for showing how to measure oneself. I was so tired of videos and instructors and instructions always saying to have a friend take them. It might be more accurate, but not always convenient. So much info. The best explanation I've ever seen. Outstanding, I am subscribing and look forward to learning.
Thank you for clearly explaining each step. It makes it easy for a novice like me to understand the concept of these calculations and measurements.
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a video on UA-cam in my life before. I am not a commenter. But I had to comment on this one. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are amazing and have brought absolute joy to my life. I can now FINALLY figure out how to make my own clothes for myself and it only took a few minutes of your video for me to realize what I’ve been doing wrong this whole time. God bless you!! Subscribed, thank you so much :)
This video is everything. I love your voice and how you explained everything so well.
I am a complete beginner, but thought I would give this a try. And my test bodice, made from a really old sheet may be the best fitting article of clothing I have. Thank you for an excellent demonstration
Your test garment is called "muslim" or "tulle".(spelling?)
Loved this entire video. It's by far the best pattern drafting vid out there. Thank you!
This video is an absolute gem and wealth of knowledge! You are an amazing teacher and love your humour :)
Best tutorial ever! You’re a goddess, thank you for this video!
This is amazing, I was able to make the bodice of a dress tailored to me with your teaching, I can't wait to learn more. Thank you!
This video is fantastic. So easy to follow and all of your instructions were so clearly presented. I don't sew and I was able to draft a bodice and make a top watching your videos! Thank you for taking the time to create these videos!
The measurement section of this video alone is soooooo helpful - thank you!
I’m like 10 seconds in and can already tell I clicked the most useful and understandable one I could possibly watch❤ thanks so much!
Best block making video! I made my 1st one tonight. I was impressed by how well it fit, since I am such a novice. Thank you! 😊
This is a gem!! Thank you so much!
I can't believe how well you explained this. Thank you so much.
The simplest vid I have ever watched,so detailed n comforting to watch 😊now I can do mine,I also appreciate how u got a small book on how measurements are taken…so as not to forget,u just got a subscriber
Thank you so much for sharing this video. You helped me realize how to actually draft a multidimensional sloper on a flat piece of paper. You are a gifted teacher!💞
Loving it so far.
Thank you for sharing! Your teaching style of how to make your own pattern blocks can’t be beat. There are some decent tutorials out there but they all like to include instructions for standard sizing. You really broke the mold and made it just click for me by using my own measurements. I had so much fun creating my first bodice block. The only thing I need to tweak are the darts since I have a much fuller bust. So I’m on the hunt for how to do a full bust adjustment soon. ❤
Look up The Closet Historian and Evelyn Wood. They have videos on using diferent darts for adjusting the bodice.
WOw i just made my first custom bodice!!! I am so excited about the possibilities!!! Its crazy that we dont make our own clothes nowadays. Looking at me you wouldnt think i have strange proportions, but commercial clothes NEVER fit omg. Too short, too long, too loose... im so excited wheee thank you
i thought it was so interesting seeing how different our pattern pieces were. Some of my measurements were smaller than yours, and some were like double yours!! so cool to see how different we all are
i wanna make a vest that looks exactly like my rib cage
Amazing video, great details!
Thank you for your wonderfully clear instructions and video.
Thank you. Your so easy to understand. I'm new to sewing and want to make my own block.
may your god bless you, thanks for sharing all these detailing.
i'm new to sewing and this is a very detailed video for beginners , very easy to understand. i can't wait to watch the other ones and learn so much more. 🙂
Thank you for posting this video it was very helpful
God Bless you and you too are wonderfully made
I usually never comment, but just had to say how much I appreciate this video! I was intimidated to start tailoring clothes to myself, but this makes it all seem so much easier. Definitely motivated to do it now :)
This is amazing. I love how you say BUUST.
Makes total sense. Other tutorials seemed counterintuitive. I’m going to use this as my second go- I think I know where I went wrong with the first armhole!
Oh great! I hope it goes well. Let me know if you have any questions 🌼
I loved your tutorial, I never understood how darts worked in the front and back area. You clearly clarified this for me. ❤
Thank you so much for explaining why you did certain things. It was very helpful and it was what I was missing in other tutorials.
Wow! Love it love it🎉❤ thank you for sharing😊
First time sewer here. I followed your videos, this one, then the arm pattern, and then putting it all together video. It turned out perfectly. I'm surprised at myself and very happy that I found your video. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and skill!
Congratulations! And thank you for sharing, now I'm especially eager to get started and make my own. Wishing you many sewing successes.
BRILLIANT! Thank you so very much! This is not only easy to follow and understand, but you have also made allowances in the measurements that are very practical and logical. I also liked that you explained Why you used certain allowances which makes me very confident that the patterns will be suitable for me. I'm truly grateful to you for sharing such an informative video. I've always wanted to make my own clothes but couldn't find patterns that allowed me to make the styles that I wanted, as opposed to something that was made for all and sundry. I can now see myself really getting into making what will suit me. Thanks again ... :)
That's awesome! Glad to hear that this was helpful ✨
Ohhhhh and am subscribed of course !!🤗

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much ❤️
This is great, I want to begin my modest journey and it's so difficult to find dresses that cover the chest and legs. I can't wait to learn how to make my own dresses.
What a delightful teacher you are, nice pace and eloquent and clear instructions. Made my list and sketch and will do the measuring (ugh no hiding from Mr honest tape measure!) Splendid video. I have got a massive roll of parcel paper too. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to start doing my own designs.
Ive just come across your video I have never seen someone explain this so perfectly clear, you made it look so easy thank you for this video you now have a new subscriber.
I’ve just come across your channel, I’m pleasantly surprised at the method you used here, I’m from Trinidad, I did a 6 months basic pattern designing course well over 36 or more years ago, had an extra ordinary teacher, Ms Rita Augustine, this was exactly the way she taught me to do body measurements, never fails, but seldom seen demonstrated on these teaching videos these days; so I’m pleasantly surprised, and very elated to come across your channel, I’m going to revive my sewing skills, thanks to you, have not sewn in years..❤
loved the easy instructions, and will definitely give this a try. Best tutorial on pattern drafting
Very well done. Easy to understand and on point!
You're very smart and precise. Thank you for sharing with and teaching us
Wow!!!! This video is FANTASTIC! I am new to sewing and your videos have a special save all to themselves.
Loved the video on this and the sleeve making. Looking forward to drafting a basic T-shirt pattern. Would also love to see making a men's button down shirt pattern adjusting. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, highly recommended for beginners
Excellent video. Subscribed!!!
This is brilliant! Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you 🙂
Fantastic video with excellent commentary - Thank you!
You explained everything so well.
❤❤❤ your tutorials. Look at that...... a tutorial of 3 years ago but, still fresh and evergreen 🌲. Whao! Whao!! Whao!!! Remain blessed and more grace for making this tutorial very easy to understand much easier than most paid fashion designers who end up getting us the beginners more confused than when we came. This tutorial just nailed it for me ma'am. I'm grateful I came across your tutorial. Can't wait to explore your tutorials ma'am. More grace to function .
Best pattern drafting video ever.❤❤❤
I love this video. I will be looking at others from you.
The is the best I have seen well explained 😊. thank you for taking the time to share with as. Keep up the good work 👌
