I love that you so concisely explain and demonstrate how to get each measurements needed and how to input them into the puzzle of the pattern we're custom building for our specific body. So much higher quality than 'lay everything on the floor and draw these shapes then sew it and see if it works' or 'trace a pair of pants you already have'...

Thank you for the very clear explanation. I just finished a pair of leggings using a commercial pattern, and THEN started watching how to videos, to try and understand how to draft the FIT. Your explanation of everything was the very clearest of all, especially on how to draw the crotch curve. One video used so many calculations, my head was spinning! I don’t draw very well, so most of the time I get a ready-made pattern and use drafting techniques to modify the pattern to fit me well. I am short and out of proportion and between sizes. I need to try your drafting at some point, though. Thank you again.

Another great pattern drafting tutorial Alissa. I used your Technique to draft a dartless bodice block.

Never apologize just say “I meant to do that.” 😉 … I love the progression of your lessons. (I do miss you mentioning your personal measurements during the drafting process since we have very similar numbers ☺️)

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 жыл бұрын

Ah, thank you! Good point about the measurements, I totally get it that it helps if you have the same measurements, so sorry, but here's a bit of an insight why I removed them - I did a little experiment where I did a few videos without mentioning my measurements and found that 1) it is easier to watch and to understand, as you don't have too many numbers in the middle of drafting, just simple steps 2) a lot of people who have different measurements than me would be discouraged to try pattern drafting, as for some reason in their mind it only works for one set of measurements - I have no idea where this concept comes from, as there is no logical explanation to it... but since I removed my measurements from the videos I have seen a lot more people take the opportunity and just do it, which is what I really want to achieve - for people to try it and to do it and get great results!

@dsego1183 2 жыл бұрын

I agree never feel you have to apologize to critical viewers. Your right, the attention / main focus should be on the drafting and the construction of the pattern not the direction of the print of your fabric. Your a true professional and seamstress 👍👍

@jojosewist8921 2 жыл бұрын

@@ThoughtfulCreativity I think of your measurements as an example. They always help me be sure I understand the math formula you are using. Maybe if you used like huge numbers 100" for waist, 120" for hips,.hahe. But someone who didn't hear you would make a pair that size and blame you. I get it, the failure of people to listen, and rewatch amazes me. Everyone should at least skim the comments, too you answer questions that might help them. But as long as you keep posting these exceptional videos, I am happy and satisfied. I was too busy watching and listening to your instructions to notice dinosaur placement.....how cute!

I was not fully successful in getting the pant to fit as I had hoped.

Thank you for making the fascinating shaping process so clear. I was wondering if you might show us how to draft socks from the same or similar spandex knit. Not sure if it would do better with 2-way or 4-way stretch. The instep seems like it would draft similar to the crotch. But it might be tricky to draft as 2 pieces instead of 4 (to keep the seams at the sides of the foot, not the top or sole of foot). I would love socks by themselves, and then you would be halfway to making footie pajamas too. ☺️🙏🧵. Thank you for considering this.

Do you think I can take your woven shorts video and just lengthen the legs for some straight long pants?

Now I am planning on making lounge pants/PJ pants video, but probably out of knit! And... I actually took this base and widened it at the bottom and made myself a pair of knit pants for home.

I still think that being put together is good even for mental health (for me anyway) BUT it does not have to be at the expense of comfort and just feeling free. Like you said - comfort is important, and I am happy to see that more and more people realize that!

@@ThoughtfulCreativity absolutely agree to that comment! That's why I love simple fabric belts on top of elastic waistbands. With a rolled hem on the overlock you can even have thin belt loops done in only a few minutes. And I recently bought a wooden round stick in a fitting diameter, that should hopefully make it faster to turn & iron the fabric belts. So tomorrow I'll have to make some pants + belt with your tutorials 😊

@@vivenna OMG, the rolled hem on the overlock - isn't it FANTASTIC??? I love it so much, and you can even do it in contrasting thread for an accent, but yes, I do belt like you as well, by the way, those shorts/culottes - I actually made a belt for them but did not show in the video. Oh, you make belt loops with rolled stitch? I actually make similar thread belt loops but by hand, that way when there is no belt - you don't have belt loops super visible!
