Fashion school only taught me to digitize my patterns using Gerber Accumark's pattern drafting programs. We NEVER learned this. This option is great and cost efficient for those who cannot afford to pay thousands for the Gerber program. Thanks for sharing this!

Wonderful tutorial! I will agree with previous comments that the background music is a little loud. I also wanted to point out (I’m sure you caught this but for others watching) when you added your seam allowance into your pattern you shifted your center front to the seam allowance which even though stated in the tutorial there was no s.a. At c.f you added 1cm to c.f which would add 2cm to the finished garment. The s.a should have be brought into the original c.f. Line

The music is really loud in the video (also distracting) so it was a bit hard for me to follow your intsructions. But nice tutorial!

This has been invaluable!!! Thank you for sharing :) Yeah, the music is a bit loud and distracting in a few spots BUT I've picked up some really good tips. I have been meaning to digitise my pattern for years and I'm determined to GET IT DONE. Of all the videos that I have watched today, on this topic, your's has been the most helpful. For example, just realised that I don't need the full shape as it has a line of symmetry so I have just halved it and added the 'on the fold' symbol like you have. Thanks again :)

This is awesome thank you!! I like to creat my own fabrics for patterns. I love using digital patterns so I can design in photoshop and illustrator I can place where I want what in the design. And when fabric comes it’s already printed with fabric pieces. I don’t have to pin patterns to the fabric saves me tons of time! I want to make this shirt for my vacation so badly but there isn’t a digital pattern option for it! You’ve saved the day! I’ve got less then month til my trip!!!

Great video! It helped me a lot! Question: some people have a line border around their pages for people to cut off the margin, do you know how to get the boarder on the edges of the art boards? I tried just doing a square but it didn't work.
