Finally some good menswear video 👍🏼 its great that you even show ‘how’ to angle the french curve. Would be great if you can also draft a trousers pattern 👏🏼

Oh my god, where have you been for the last year as I've been pouring over old or complicated pattern making tutorials. Finally someone made this easier. I've read so many ways to do this and never got it exactly right. The animated illustrations were a really nice touch. Love how you show how to angle the french curve (which is what I most struggle with). I've love to see one for basic sleeves. Great video, my guy. Keep it up! Subscribed!

Thanks! Got what I needed from this which was the difference between the front and the back piece (I had a front block that worked well but had lost my back one)

Genuinely one of the best videos I have ever watched. Thank you!!!

Absolutely amazing. Love your way so simple for beginning

Thank you for this! I also bought a pattern making book and the instructions are just so complicated. You toned it down, no excessive info. I also want to do more casual wear and all the books I find are so focused on elegant wear, it's very annoying when you don't actually have anywhere to go with a super haute couture garment haha. Plus, I also really want to make men's wear and a lot of the tutorial on the internet are for women. My guess is that they are not that different, but still, it's good to see material specific to men. Thank you so much! I'll suscribe waiting for more. :)

Great video. So glad I found it. Inspirational to this old git.

Dude this is so helpful, thank you! Figuring out how these patterns are supposed to work is such a pain, having it laid out so clearly makes me feel so much better. The things I'm hoping to make would need to modify this some, but now I feel like I understand why things are the way they are, so modification should actually be doable. You rock man, keep it up! Menswear needs more of this.

Seriously, this is the informative video essentially ever thank you!!! Feel like I just took a college course hahaha😂

This is really great..I love how u brought into simplest understanding

you've just saved my life!!!!!! thankyou !!!!!!!!!

Was telling partner how no one mentions mens draping or pattern making in my circles and training! And it’s shocking. I then found you. Brilliant! Thanks.

Thanks for this, so helpful!

That was super helpful! I’ll be working on a basic block for my husband soon now and let you know how it goes.

content is amazing bro keep it up! thanks a lot for this

This was helpful. Thanks!

Thank you! That was great.

Your teaching is very good thank you.

I'm trying so hard to find a quick, simple guide to making a block for my dolls...... and as soon as you focus on your mullet length I fall in love XD Instant like. I will peruse the rest of the channel after this video.

I am trying to make men's clothing and it is so hard to find tutorials for pattern drafting. Thank you so much, this video also needs more views.

Of all the drafting videos I've watched, this one feels attainable and like it will work the very first time. Thank you for speaking so plainly.

Thank you so much! I've been struggling to make a sloper/block and now I can!

OMG! THANK YOU!!!!!

Good menswear tutorial. I also have spent so much money on books with this a to b nonsense. Instant subscribe

At6.57 the bottom of the French curve does not touch the line you draw. So you just use the French curve for part and draw the other part rough hand

Hey you. your pretty good at this. Just saying. I'm gonna stick around, I think your gonna teach me a few.....cheers!

I think I’m missing something here. How do you know how far down the long length line to put in the chest and waist measurements? I don’t think that was explained or I have totally missed it.

Drafting a bodice and arm pattern is difficult, if you lack knowledge of how important it is to take correct measurements at certain points of the body and drafting the measurements correctly onto the pattern. There are some standards measurements that work great for a baseline. Neck hole and shoulder slopes. NH 3/4 “x 3” for the back, 3” x 3” for the front. Rounded neckline. Shoulder slope. 2” is the average, slope. Great video. It definitely gave a great beginning of understanding the pattering and measurements involved. Have you made a video about drafting a sleeve ? I just came across your channel. I’m trying to construct an old fashioned barn coat. I’ve drafted many patterns for shirts, pull overs, shorts and pants. However, I’m sure about the amount of ease. Thank you for sharing, keep up the great work. Best regards !

Thanks!!!!!!!

A question - how do you account for the height difference in the back piece? Usually the back has an added yoke. If not a yoke, they add a 2 inches in height to the front piece. I'm confused.

You are cute! I am a fashion designer and this is something interesting!! :D

good idea bro

OMG noooo. I've been calling it arms eye 😂😂 thank you for correcting me

Gracias!!!!

Hey Beau, finally yesterday purchased all the tools from your pattern block making list! Think I’m going to start making a casual top! One question I always like V necks is there any special things to bear in mind during this conversion? Enjoyed the tutorial by the way!

My one question would be where is the reference point for the vertical marks on either side? Like do I directly copy the back block and then in post add the larger neckline/hole? I had to restart from the front block because all my vertical mark measurements are from the front, and the sleeves aren't mirror images of eachother.

Very good, thank you, subd, would you make a video of how to make the sleeves from here please…..

Hi Chief! Great and clear explanation! One quick question, how valid are those "magic numbers" when used to draw children basic body blocks? Tried it once but it seems a bit off especially on the armholes 😂

I love this and it was easy to follow but what about the sleeves man? 😭

Any chance you can make a sleeve drafting video? I'm having a wicked time trying to get my sleeve right

nice nice

What about asleeve block

Best mens bodice drafting I've seen so far. Is the arm curve for the front bodice more curved or is it the same as the back?

This is fab, I've drafted for women but I wondered if men's was the same! Also if I'm using this to make a t-shirt with stretch could u reccomend a resource for calculating negative ease? I keep fucking up what percentage I should use 🤦

Very good But I don’t think that you are someone that don’t understand the basic bloc wit the letter and calcul that we have to do. Your explanation are very good amd professional, but in a way that is very simple for every body, so they well try. You look like someone that have study in desing and you just don’t want to tell lol. But it’s ok. Anyway Your teaching and demonstrating wit a good logiciel is very nice. Continue your good work. Cheers 🍻

What’s a book you’d recommend for this ?

Your videos have really helped me to understand the concept, but my measurements aren’t working for the armscye. For me, (my across back/2)=(chest cir/4)…so when I add two cm to the across back measurement, it puts that connection point for the French curve outside of the frame…did I measure wrong? What am I doing weird? Thanks again for your help!

Hi Sir Can we use that BASIC BODICE PATTERN for jumpsuits also.?? Like Skydiving suits... Please reply must

you've made me so excited to weave yardage... thank you for sharing, i feel like it's an unwritten rule that you aren't suppose to teach for free... because capitalism... please take this meager thumb upward as payment.

💛💛💛💛💛🥰🥰🥰🥰

I have a quick question, I've done everything you talked about it my back piece doesn't look right.

I feel like I’m doing it wrong… my back is longer than chest and waist measurement 🥴🥺
