- In this video I am showing you my method I developed to transfer my paper patterns onto the computer to create digital versions of my patterns. I use Adobe Illustrator for this.
TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Intro
03:10 Getting started & paper size
04:32 Scaling the pattern correctly
07:54 Working on the cups
08:59 Measuring distance & adjusting seams to fit
11:18 Drawing a missing pattern piece
15:55 Fitting the cups to the bodice
18:23 Fitting the hip piece to the bodice
20:34 Checking the hem measurement of the bodice
21:47 Adding notches & preparing for grading
23:47 Preparing the pattern to print
24:13 Method 1: Using DinA4 as paper size (taping paper to paper/no cutting, printer will cut of some lines)
28:05 Method 2: Using a smaller size and adding a frame to cut out after printing (printer will not cut off some lines)
30:50 Outro

Damn girl you just broke the code with this tutorial. One of the best videos very helpful thanks a lot. And you explained very good even if it was fast I could follow it. ❤️👍
Im so happy to hear that ♥️ thanks a lot!
@@THISISKACHI of course you deserve to hear all the positive things. With all that time you spend to show us your secrets. 😊😘Much love to you. ❤️
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
In school I hated “photoshop class”. But this is so interesting and cool the way you explain it! Excited to learn more! ☺️
Oh god me too! It was part of photography but I hated every second of it. This is definitely way better 🥰
Thank you! I also didn't like photoshop classes 😂 never had the feeling I was able to learn sth
I can't wait for the grading tutorial!!!
Excellent! Thank you for showing me these skills
This is such a a good video!
Can't wait for the pattern grading video its been something I wanted to learn for a long time :)
Thank you 🥰 yes, I'm working on it 🥰
This is excellent. You're a very skilled instructor. Exactly what I needed. Going to watch your pattern grading video next. This actually helps me understand the design of digital patterns I receive and will help me adjust a few sizing disrepancies. Thanks a lot for your help.
Thank you so much for making these videos
This is perfect! Thanks a lot! Congrats, your channel is amazing 😄 hugs from Brazil
this was so so so so helpful!!!!!! Thank for these amazing videos!
WOW!!! Awesome tutorial! I have been struggling so much and this helped me 99.9%!!!
i have to say i have been waiting for this sooo exited!!
Im so excited to share this 🥰🥰
@@THISISKACHI I'm only half way through and i've already learnt/ realised so much i can't wait to try it out (thank goodness my school supplies adobe i don't know what i would do with out it)
Thank you soooo much!! This video is exactly what I need! Completed my fashion bachelors degree with Computer Aided Design classes and we were never shown this. This has rocked my tailoring world!! Thank you again!!!
This is an excellent video for those of us old schoolers who do our pattern creating by hand. I searched so many you tubes looking for exactly this. Look no further, Thank you 👍
You are so amazing!! Thank you so, so much for this!!
this is so helpful many thanks you saved my life!!
Dankedankedanke! Hab mir gerade gradieren beigebracht mit Müller und Sohn und Du hast mir voll geholfen mit dem digitalisieren!
Thank you for this tutorial! This was really helpful😊
Danke, das Video ist wirklich sehr hilfreich und das beste Video zu dem Thema, was ich gefunden habe!
This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much for doing this. You are the best!
Thank you!! 🥰
I liked that this video seemed raw that there are minimal skips or video cuts. That's important to me I guess because whenever I watch tutorials with anything tech-based, I feel pressured thinking 'they did it so fast and easy why can't I?" and forgetting it's a process. I always like how you give instructions as well, nice and clear perfect for a teacher in sewing class.
Das war mega hilfreich, vielen vielen Dank!!
Very informative and now I understand what ll goes into it! Great job on explaining!
Thanks so much 🥰
I'm gonna watch this vid 1000 times! so great and helpful! good job ❤️👍
Thank you so much 🥰🥰

Fascinating
Woooow so much value from this video! Thanks so much!! So grateful you replied to my message thanks!! ❤️
Thank you 🥰
Omg! Thank you so much!! So helpful🥰
This was great 😊 thank you so much!
Keep going, you inspire me! ❤️🇺🇸🇧🇷 I’m doing my best to understand it with my intermediate English.
I love it, thankyou 👏
Thank you very much!! It's right what I'm searching for.
You're welcome 🥰
Excellent 🎉
This so helpful Thanks 🌸
I just bought a pattern from you. I can’t wait to try it.
you're a genius!! amazing video :)
super Interessant. Wie immer ein sehr informatives und gut strukturiertes Video 👍
Dankeschön 🥰
It's amazing how you simultaneously do that, calculate and translate everything :D ich dagegen musste nachsehen wie man simultaneously schreibt :D :D
Thanks haha! 🥰 da ich in meinem privaten Umfeld ausschließlich englisch spreche, kommen die englischen Begriffe ganz natürlich. Aber ich cutte natürlich schon die Pausen raus, damit man sich das ansehen kann 😂🥰
Thank you so much for this🤗 it's helping me so much!
Im so happy I was able to help 🥰
THANK YOU SO MUCH
If you have a projector, you can draw a rectangle of known dimension on a piece of dotted paper and hang it on a wall. Then draw a rectangle of the same dimension in illustrator, autocad, gerber etc.. Project your workspace matching the rectangle on your computer to the one on the wall via zooming, keying until they match exactly. now any patterns placed on the wall within your rectangle will be 1:1. Simply tape patterns within the rectangle and trace the patterns out in your application of choice! I use the rectangle's straight lines for CF, CB GRAIN etc... instead of tracing them so my pieces are automatically square in the computer. This method gives you the benefit of comparing the patterns with your digitized pieces and lets you edit/alter your 'digitized' patterns more accurately.
Thank you so much
thank you so much for this. ❤
You're welcome 🥰 thanks for watching ♥️
Thank you so much for this ♡
Thanks for watching🥰
Such a good tutorial, thank you ! I was wondering how i could do it. Can't wait to learn how to grade 😉
Thank you so much 🥰
This is so cool! You break it down nicely! Unfortunately, I am not that skilled in Technology (e.g. Illustrator), but I bet I can do it by following you step by step!
Thanks for watching 🥰
Your outfit is giving me major modern 1840s vibes with the middle part and the drop shoulders and nipped waist :) I love your channel so much ❤️
Thank you! 🥰
Thank you
Dam'n You literally answered all my questions! danke vielmals
I had to teach myself how to use illustrator for work. But finally its coming in handy for something useful! 😂
Same!! 😅😅
thank you so much
Dankeschön für das Teilen, das hilft mir sehr weiter. Ich war schon am überlegen das Schnittmuster zu zerschneiden und einfach einzuscannen, aber das mit dem Foto ist echt gut.
Ja ich hab auch lang gedacht Ich müsste Einscannen, aber hab mich immer gefragt, was für einen großen Scanner man dafür bräuchte 😂😂 aber mit dem Foto funktioniert das super 👍🏻
@@THISISKACHI Das glaube ich sofort, ich werde es definitiv testen ☺️. Hatte mich schon gefragt wie du das machst als du den Prozess auf TikTok gepostet hast 😄
This method is just incredible ! Thank you so much ! Did you do a video to explain how to add seams allowance ? Thank you so much !
Had to sub
Have you ever tried using the ‘scan documents’ feature inside the notes app on your iPhone? It allows you to turn your picture(s) into a pdf document as an alternative to taking a regular picture.
I love your content, keep up the amazing work!
Ooo, how do you do that? 😂 I’m totally new to this but want to learn!
Does it scan to the same size, because in sewing the patterns has to be accurate
Even the picture she kept adjusting in illustrator
🏁💯😇🙌🌟Awesome!✨
Oh no you didn't!!! I'm old school and do all of my patterns by hand... I'm definitely saving this video and freaking learn how the cool kids do it nowadays! 😎🤓 Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you 🥰 yeah I also only do my patterns by hand on paper and only digitize them to grade to make them available for your guys 🥰 but it is really nice to be able to alter patterns in a few clicks now due to having a variety of digitized ones now 🥰
@@THISISKACHI 😩 my designer friends say the same thing!! I never tried to do pattern with the pattern program (like gerber), too complicated 😅 but never attempted with illustrator 🥲 give me a flat to do on illustrator, and will do it blindfolded. But patterns?!? I'll watch your vids and learn this way. Hopefully it helps me with pattern making process. Can't wait to see how you grade on illustrator! I also do this by hand! 🥲🤣
This is a great way to digitize, I like your clear explanation. Personally, I draft everything directly in Affinity designer. I can't seem to trust the image I take with my camera. What if it isn't perpendicular to the ground and all that? Thanks for sharing.
Would you recommend affinity designer? I just like the freedom you get with illustrator - I found in dedicated pattern programs, every tool is bound too much to numbers and such, but maybe I just need to invest more time into getting to know it 🙈 the lense on the camera might distort the picture, I personally measure a bunch on top of what I showed in the video; and also try to put the pattern piece in the middle of the pic so there is minimal lense distortion. It works fine for me and as I am also working with those pattern pieces and sew them to create new garments, I do far haven't found any problems with lense distortion. 🤙🏻
@@THISISKACHI I switched from Illustrator because of the cost and I only use it for sewing patterns, it's not like I need all the bells and whistles. Honestly, Affinity has replaced both illustrator and photoshop for me. I find it easier to use, it has fewer hassles and the snapping is great! I will definitely try your method too as it's great to have alternatives. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. You're great.
PS: Affinitiy is the same as Illustrator, just a different company, it's not a sewing program... just to clarify.
Love this tutorial! I do have one question though; I’m assuming you trued your paper pattern pieces during the initial pattern drafting process. Wouldn’t a correctly trued pattern eliminate the need to remeasure the pattern pieces? I’m specifically referencing the section where you were measuring the bust cups and changing their lengths (albeit it very slightly). Is it to be assumed that we cant just trace our paper pattern and trust that It’s been trued properly and that all the pieces fit together as they should ? Thanks for any insight. This tutorial is invaluable and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!
How did you cut the lines, like when you cut the bust,waist, and hip line and they became darts? Also how did you measure the lines?
Love your explanation and it's easy to follow also as a non expert. However, the part where you explain how you add the notches was way too fast for me. Do you have some more detailed explanation on that part?
Hi great Video. I have only one problem when I save as PDF is end up to big when print even at 100% scale. I am wasting a lot of paper ..Any ideas or did you experience this issue 🤪
I can now easily see how I can draft doll clothes patterns. Since it’s on a small scale, I could just scan the paper version of my pattern then proceed?
What computer or iPad is best to use to convert your sewing patterns?
Hello, I followed the steps of method 2 and I can't get the edge of the page to appear 😢
Can I ask you a question? I can't quite make out from your video how you determine the length of a line. Would you mind explaining?
Hi! I either use the line segment tool (L) to create a line or use my measuring tape (I) to measure specific lengths ☺️ curved paths can be measured by cutting the part you want to measure and then look at the window document information and object 👌🏻
this video is incredible 🥲
What type of camera are you using, it looks like its tracking you
could you skip the measuring of the pieces if you have a reference measurement in the picture? like a strip of paper or a line that’s say 2 cm?
Yes of course, it‘s just measured offline then. But you need to have some sort of guide to get the sizes right. To me, measuring in illustrator directly is just the easiest method 👌🏻 and also: the longer your line you measure, the more correct the measurement gets ☺️
Is there a free program that can do these things?
hello...I have a question please
