This was the absolute BEST patterning tutorial I’ve ever seen. And I’m an experienced seamstress who has sewn for many years! You are very good at explaining and organizing information.

I love how you demonstrate how you take the measurements. Never seen such a detailed tutorial. Thank you.

You are the first person who us addressing the individuality of body shape. Thank you so much

WHERE were you all my life??? Clear n Neat. Thank you SOOO MUCH. Power to the metric!!!

This is the most detailed, easy to follow tutorial I've found. Also my body shape is very similar to yours and you described the same problems with store bought clothing I have. Thank You so much! Now I'm off to the drawing board to get started 🙂

This is so helpful, this is my body type and I do struggle with commercial clothes. Thank you for sharing this valuable information in such detail

I wanted to say You've Sunk My Battleship! or BINGO! This was so helpful and after this I finally got a fitted back! I Cannot thank you enough for this video

Thankyou Illona, the tips on measuring by yourself. I agree that masking tape can be very useful. I have been known to use it , with tissue as a temporary dressing when accidentally stabbing my self when sewing! As it is low tack it causes less damage if removed pronto. As I'm similarly shaped to you I really appreciate the self draft demonstration.

Finally found your video. Gorgeous and simple. Keep up the good work and wait for your following pattern-making tutorials. 😍

The shoulder measurement always alludes me🥲

I do not have the body type you are talking about, but i love listening to you, so i am happily watching this video. 😂😂

Wow, that was a very comprehensive guide. I'm glad my old shirts came in handy!

You had me at 'metric'. 😊

You are so funny when it comes to measurement taking

I really find very interesting to this tutorial. I looked many tutorials and the way of teahing is perfect. The problem is in the pattern system technique. I will practice more the techniques that I have learned to improve it. I don't like fittings because sometimes the clients don't have time to check how clothes fit on them. However your tutorial was the best of bodice patterns making.

Fabulous. I just starting out learning about pattern drafting etc, and this really helps ❤

Ahhhi didn't know kw you did sewing videos too!! So happy stumbled across this I live your videos

Updated: Omg this is the BEST video I've seen. I actually do have a free torso sloper downloaded and started modifying the first mock up. I just kinda got lost and couldn't find the alterations I needed described anywhere. Coincidently they are the same you needed on your pattern so I finally know what I need to fix and how. Thank you. Also if I where to draft this, does it work for C-D cup sizes without FBA? Update: tried this technique of drafting but it stopped working for me at lenght a1d +1cm. It was 6cm longer than my shoulder lenght (mine is 11 or 12 cm, it ended up 17cm. Such a shame. I really hoped it would work

Slightly larger than "normal" size with a HUMONGOUS bust, so I must be in the right place😂😂

Just came across your video,well done

Thank you SO much for this!

I am going to use this to attempt to pattern myself. I would love to see a video like this for he sway back patterning! I have the hardest time getting clothes to lay flat instead of gathering above the bum where the sway is most pronounced.

Fantastic! Seeing as well! 🎉

I'm in love with ur blouse❤ Did u sew it urself or bought it ? If so please drop the link 😊 Thank you for this informative video

Hola sube más videos de patrones de Ropa

Sounds good. Im in.

This guide is very well made and comprehensive. However at 15:42 when you said that the length between a1 and d should be equal to the shoulder length + 1, you completely lost me, because there was already a 4-5 cm discrepancy. This sort of had a domino effect on everything else from then on, so I just stopped. Which is a shame because it was going so well up until that point.

Love the idea of using an old man's shirt for the muslin.

Thank you, Ilona for this video. I'm brand new to sewing and I found you video very easy to follow. I've just created my own bodice block, and while the first mockup isn't perfect its closer than I've gotten before! With a few simple adjustments I should be able to have my perfect fit. Thank you again! Quick question: Does this bodice block pattern accommodate a sleeve? Or do I need to adjust the ease to fit a sleeve in?

Great, thanks for sharing 👍

Actual drafting starts at 13 minutes 😊

I downloaded the spreadsheet but everything is in the wrong columns by a couple?

Hi, this video is syper helpful and I will definitely use it. I'm having trouble opening the page with the formulas. Could you share the link drive?

Мне понравилось, как Вы объясняете. Спасибо. Супер. Вы позитивны.❤

❤ nice

Hi Ilona, thank you for this super helpful video. I've tried using this and the toile mostly fits really nicely however the shoulder part has gotten really messed up for me at both front and back. My shoulder length is 18cm so according to the instructions my final back shoulder length should be 19cm, but when I join up the points a1 and d2 the back shoulder line is way longer at 22cm! For the front shoulder, the distance between the A2 and A4 also ends up being 16cm on paper, which is shorter than my shoulder length. I've gone over each step again trying to work out where I've gone wrong but can't seem to work out where I've gone wrong, please could you help? I could share my completed spreadsheet with you if you happened to have the time and patience to troubleshoot...

عالیست 👌👏🌹❤👍🙏

Would your system work for men's measurements? I want to sew a bespoke shirt for myself from scratch. I'm a total noob but determined. 😂 Thx for the video and reply!

I am confused with the hip measurement, i usually take it lower at the fullest part of my butt bc that's the widest part

Thank you!!! And how can I make the sleeve?

Hello, how are you? I loved your video, it is true that I measure my body measurements 100 times because I always believe that they have been taken incorrectly when I compare them with a table of measurements, the horizontal measurements are more or less but the vertical measurements are very very different, the problem is that I'm 156 and the rage woman is possibly 168... I don't know if that would be too much of an indiscretion, please feel free to answer, what is your height? that will help me confirm the difference in sizes. Very many Thank you for your excellent work. (sorry, I don't speak English, this is an automatic translation)

Hi ilona! i just finished drafting the pattern but now i see that you also have a dart in the back shoulder area. is that a personal choice after a fitting? is it neccesarry?

Oh, I just learned I have large bust. My blouses always pop in the middle and that is such a hassle

Hi, Ilona. I draft the pattern with the winifred Aldrich method and it says to leave a 5cm easy at the bust, you dismiss this right? it was too much?

Like

5:54 that chart is nonsensical. none of my measurements match anything and I'm average

Hello, will this tutorial work for the normal bust size?

Please use white paper

I couldn't edit on the google sheet

Or instead of the larger average your numbers

I'm from the itty bitty community but I still want to watch. 😂 I feel bad for women with larger breasts. I have heard about back pain and other issues. I have my own problems but weight on my back isn't one. It looks good women with larger one's but seems a hassle.

Can you explain this in inches?

✨🧵

Lost you at 13.11 😔

Put number on sereen please

Size 10 bust measurement at 84cm and waist at 64cm????? This chart must be from the 1950s
