As a newer garment marker, this is the ONLY drafting/draping of a notched collar/lapel tutorial that has made absolute sense! Explained so well that lesser experienced sewers can easily grasp. Thanks so much

I've been trying to draft my own lapel/collar pattern but no other video makes sense. Thank you so, so much for this! I understand it perfectly.

i must say sir!! ive been searching far and wide for an explaniation of how to draft a lapel/collar and finally finding your video have solved all my problems! so easy to understand and so easy to follow and so well explained! straight to the point and with clear instructions! thank you every much

As a pattern maker of 50 yrs - - this tutorial is precise & excellent in drafting ❤

Love you to do a menswear series. For example bodice block for men. Convert into shirt, jacket, coat block etc.

I wish you had more videos. The books on drafting are horrible and your videos are so helpful.

Your videos are exceptionally amazing 👏

These videos are simply amazing! I'm new to pattern drafting but I've been sewing for many years. I'm branching out now to make my own patterns/designs and these instructions are so helpful!

My neighbor is a retired jeans designer from Wrangler. His 3D designs are fantastic. They look like computer perfection. When I saw this I thought of him. I have watched all 9 vids and want more. When you retire, go on tour! I would pay to see you. Your instruction is cool and simple. The best.

Omg I tried to follow a blog post tutorial for how to do this and they over complicated it so much this looks so much easier thank you!

A real pro tailor. I think the garment district in NYC used to be full of people with this high level of competence... I sure wish they were all still there. LOVE watching...although I could not follow and envision every step. I am going to watch it again. So skilled! Thanks for posting!!

I read and watched several tutorials for this and had a go at drafting yesterday. I want to make a very narrow collar and lapel, and couldn't figure out how to adjust the 'standard' measurements the tutorials would suddenly rely on. I thought "I wish Christopher Sartorial had a video for this, he would explain properly". And lo and behold this came up in my KZfaq recommendations this morning! Very happy. I won't be sewing a test from my draft yesterday, I'll be starting from scratch with this method instead ;-)

Am drafting a jacket with a lapel and notched collar, so your tutorial has been most helpful. Thank you for showing us step by step and offering explanations to help understand the process. Have learned so much watching your other videos on pattern drafting too.

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge in sewing notched lapel collar..God bless..watching here in the Philippines..

thanks for a really fantastic clear explanation of drafting a notched collar and really informative how you give solutions to the roll on the back of the collar covering the back seam. Great way of drafting the over collar.

COME BACK TO KZfaq you’re a Great teacher stick with this, I’ll tune in

Thank you for your channel! I have been wanting to learn to do this for years, but your instructions are much clearer than any I have heard. I hope you will put out more videos in the future.

You've done it again, sir---another awesome and informative, yet straight-to-the-point tutorial.

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for the tutorials. I've watched them all and found them to be very helpful. I will definitely try your process on my personal patterns. :)

This is amazing! Thank you, just what I was looking for :) I was trying to understand why a collar pattern looked like A but turns out like B. This makes it easier to understand!

Thank you! This video is well done and easy to follow. Very helpful.

Thank you very much! This is the best instructive video about drafting a pattern for laped collar. Great work.

Very clear and easy to follow. You are indeed good at what you do, Thanks a lot

I'd love to see you do more. Thank you so much for these, you'll be a source of reference long into my pattern drafting future!

Thank you for your wonderful videos ! I do look forward to any more new ones! Bless you Chris!

A massive thank you. After exhaustive research, this is the only tutorial that makes sense as to why you're making the marks that you're making. I'm a confident beginner/intermediate sewer. Please can you advise on adding a notched lapel to a waistcoat pattern. 🙏🏼

Love your method 🙌🏽 thank you so much it really helped me🩷

Thank you so much. I want to add this to a vest pattern but have no formal training on drafting. Your explanations were so easy to follow. I'm going to give this a try.

Merci beaucoup Christopher pour cette magnifique démonstration. Je l'ai regardé une fois, j'ai bien compris car, il est limpide et clair. Il me faudra plusieurs visionnage pour bien m'approprier la technique. Cela vaut bien 1 pouce plus un abonnement. Je vous souhaite bonne continuation.

Can't wait to see your new video Sir!!!

Fantastic video!!!

Great tutorial 👌 Thanks!

We miss you Sir, lot to learn from you, God bless.

Hi Chris, excellent tutorial, best one Ive seen by far. I used this pattern to make a coat and it came out beautiful! Thank you, please make more videos on other patterns!!

Thank you so much Sir ! very easy to understand the way you explain. Would you please show us Womens basic pants pattern drafting ? thank you again .

Great Videos Chris! Thank you! It would be great if you please show us how to scale sizes in your own way! :)

Very easy way you explained. Thanks a lot 👌

Your method is almost correct , however what makes the collar roll and hide the neckline is not collar width , but outside collar length. So there is no need to add an additional 1/4 ' to the collar width 2.5 inches is plenty. I know you later said about spreading the collar so you understand the concept. I hope you realize that by pivoting the collar and additional 1/4 beyond the brake line, you have added almost a total of 5/8 of spring in the collar. 3/8 like you added in the beginning is sufficient for most suit jkts I ever made. I always add a true collar stand to the collar, not just a cut and sewn extraction to achieve a better collar. But not bad , your video is by far one of the better ones.

Hi Chris thanks for all your wonderful videos. I did the fashion thing a long, long, long time ago, went into a different field of work and have forgotten everything that I was thought. Now I'm getting back up to speed because of your videos. Could you do a basic pants video especially how to measure and calculate the CRUTCH measurements. A video on an all in one jumper would be appreciated.

hai chris , thank you for your lovely and clearly explaination on the lapel. chris if you dont mind . can you do a tutorial on how to construct a jacket or blazer ? i am looking forward to learn from u chris . thanks alot and may god bless u always . much love

Thank you, I hope you are well and I hope you would make more videos..

Thank you for making these videos. They r really helpful. Can you make a video on sweetheart bodice drafting or maybe a deep v neck pattern?

So clear thanks so much!!

Best drafting tutorial thanks Sir💐

Thank you so much for these videos, the have helped me tremendously! I would love if t if you could do one for trousers! Again Thank you!

Hi , I love your work

Thank you for helping me perfect a rapel collar

Realy amazing....

Wow that’s was a great tutorial and I will definitely try this out. I’ve always been afraid of drafting lapels. Do you teach out drafting like different pockets?

Thank you

Thanks for good video i learn alot

THANK YOU!!❣️❣️❣️

Very Good tutorial, One Needle Greetting....

Thank you for posting this. One question - why are we marking in 3/8 inch from the neckline when starting the collar draft? Would this amount vary for any reason (fabric thickness, muscular neck, etc.)? A tailoring book that I have has us mark in 1/4 in at the notch, but not at the neck edge. Does this serve the same purpose?

Very good!

Nice i lile it very much

I always love your video. Is easy and clear to understand. But little suggestion perhaps u need using microphone when making the video, because sometimes its hard to listen what you said

Happy new year!

First time watch but I would like to see how you cut out the pattern helpful tutorial

Thanks bro....you disappear for a very long time 😄🙈

Hi Chris greetings to you sir I've just recently come across your video and I must say that I am really impressed. I will certainly be making full use of them. However I would like to know where I can get the paper you are using to draft on becuz I can't seem to get it where I'm living sincere thanks to you in advance

Thank you!!

You have such great videos, like the best on youtube. I needed to fix my vest and aero-cape and make some pants so can you show how do pattern videos for matrix style coat(neos) 4-panel vest (1 front - 2 sides - 1 back) drafting for shirt belt inserting hidden pockets inside a coat. drafting hidden pockets drafting for inner linings Turning a sleeve into a zippered long to a short sleeve pants with a hidden zipper f(long to longer length shorts) (roth co BDU= referance)

Hello Chris I love what u are doing how can I get your videos l real want to be connected to your videos

Hi! I really like your videos I hope you upload more! Hopefully different kind of techniques as well!

Chris, do you have a tutorial on the assembly of a jacket? Thank you

Another awesome tutorial! Is there no need for a dart under the lapels? Most of my jackets have this dart.
