      She doesn't owe you anything - it's not like you paid anything for all of her hard work so far. There are plenty of other free vids on YT about sewing A-line skirts or if you're really that desperate, try reading a book about it & figure it out for yourself..

    I have a short torso and long legs so I prefer pants and skirts to be mid rise instead of around my natural waist. That way my tops and bottoms are more in proportion with each other. Thank you for including measurements for hip so that I can make that the top of my skirt.

    awesome video, but it'd be even better if you did a tutorial on using the patterns to make the garment! (I'd love to see how exactly to use the notches you made, how to go about the seam allowance for the zip, etc.) thanks!

    • @Sandratchan1
      @Sandratchan1 Рік тому

      I feel you could have much more followers if you showed the process of sewing it... because ALine skirt is more for beginners than for people who know how to sew..also the music is too loud at times and it's difficult to concentrate like that

    @96cherryboom 9 років тому +2

    Hi, my pattern doesn't look quite the same as yours, when i draw my lines from point w2h to w2lh it makes almost a straight line therefore when i add that small angle and draw the line to the full length, it looks bizarre.

  • @caribbeangirl3934
    @caribbeangirl3934 9 років тому

    excellent teaching. just 2 questions. why add the 3.5 cm and with respect to the straight skirt and additional 1.2 cm seam allowance. at first I thought the 3.5 was the seam allowance.

    • @ck5611
      @ck5611 8 років тому

      It's "give allowance". Basically for when you sit down. When you make pants and skirts that are not loose, you need to allow give in the hip area for sitting and bending over. ^_^

    • @ck5611
      @ck5611 8 років тому +2

      There are none. She's avoiding it by just putting the space difference in the side seam. This is the cheap and easy way to make skirts...

  • @haaku1234
    @haaku1234 4 роки тому

    Wait, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but: If you measure from the waist down, then add a separate piece for the waistband, wouldn't that make it too tall? The waistband and top of the main skirt are taking up the same space on a person's body. I think??

  • @youngpunk15
    @youngpunk15 10 років тому

    Cool :D Thank you for getting back to me :D. Couple more questions- do you have a tutorial video that shows you how to make/ sew the A line skirt garment yet? And are you going to upload a tutorial that shows you how to do a basic trouser pattern/ garment soon? :)

    • @ThreadsByBD
      @ThreadsByBD  10 років тому

      Liv Kennett We don't have an A-line Skirt sewing tutorial as of yet. We are currently making a sewing tutorial for that. Expect to see that tutorial by the end of January(if nothing gets in the way lol).
      As for the pants tutorial, we will have a pattern/block making tutorial by mid-late February, and subsequent pants manipulation sewing tutorials afterwards (shorts, trousers, leggings etc).

  • @youngpunk15
    @youngpunk15 10 років тому

    Heya BD :) Just wanted to ask- if I wanted to make a mini skirt that started from the hips rather than the waist, would I just need to live out the waist measurements or are there any major differences or adjustments I would need to make??

    • @ThreadsByBD
      @ThreadsByBD  10 років тому +1

      Liv Kennett Yup, you are correct. All you have to do is leave out the waist measurements. Let us know how it goes, upload a pic to instagram, facebook or twitter and just use the hashtag #bddiy

    What's the purpouse of the little cuts you made around the pattern?

    • @cassiewoodhouse
      @cassiewoodhouse 8 років тому +5

      If you've sewn with commercial patterns, you've seen notches on each pattern piece. They are aligned with the pattern piece that will be joined to it. The cuts are used the same way. It ensures that the pieces are joined at exactly the right place. Transfer the cut marks to the fabric and make very small snips to be sure that you don't cut into the seam line.

    • @ecgardoce
      @ecgardoce 4 роки тому

      no need to make a full pattern for the front or back..doing half of front and half of back will save you on paper. but if it is still not enough, paste another piece of paper to get the desired width

  • @CandiRayne16
    @CandiRayne16 10 років тому

    Why did you measure 50 cm at the bottom? Where did you get that measurement from?

    • @ThreadsByBD
      @ThreadsByBD  10 років тому

      CandiRayne16 This is not a body measurement. This was done just so that there is no chance you will run out of paper when making the pattern.

You are confusing beginners badly...In order to draft A-line skirt you have to start with a basic straight pencil skirt and modify it by slashing a pattern vertically to a dart's points and then by closing darts and spreading the pattern pieces.
