I went to artschool to do visual communication, i like it but halfway through i found out that i really wanted to be a fashion designer above all. Unfortunately my life hit a long rough patch and im ashamed to say i didnt fight back the way i should have for a long time...11 years to be exact. I found your channel on instagram a year ago and was blown away by your talent. Im at fashion school now. Thanks to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ i made it and your videos have been the only true source of inspiration and help, i strive to be like you one day. God bless You Mr. Quiring.

Brillant tutorial! Two things I might want to add: if you measured your shoulder depth, i.e. how much lower is your shoulder on the furthest point than where it meets your neck, you might be able to shorten the trial and error phase quite a bit regarding that detail. Also: if you make your first prototype of just the bodice before drafting the sleeves, you can fix issues with the armholes without having to redraw a sleeve that wouldn't fit anymore after the adjustments.

This is the perfect companion to the sewing books I have that talk about collars, pockets, buttons, and zippers, but don't actually talk about the rest of the garment. I'm used to just tracing the shirt that fits the most and then fixing where it doesn't really work (I have some teen clothes that fit okay, but the arms are too short). This should help me fix a few of those issues I couldn't quite understand what to do with.

I've been struggling to make button up shirts for myself, I'm a pretty busty woman and other sewing videos for female buttons ups sorta always confused me when it came to resizing. A video dedicated to turning my measurements into a shirt that'll fit has just made everything so understandable. I have books on resizing, and I know how to make a lot of other things to fit me but for some reason applying what I know to button up shirts always made me get lost. I did some extra measurements to account for my chest (an over and under bust measurement) but overall I feel very confident about the mock-ups I'll be making soon. Seriously, thank you. I love the look of a nice button up shirt.

I am just getting back into sewing, as I am one of those odd sized guys that nothing off the rack ever fits (think short, fat hobbit dude). Patterns for someone as off the scale so far as measures go are literally impossible to find, so I'm in this area of want (need) for creating my own patterns to work with. What you just gave me was more valued and deeply appreciated that you will ever know, and I don't exaggerate. I now have that little "guide" via this tutorial on how to correctly fit my patterns; so that they fit my strangely odd measurements. This also gives me a better idea as to how I can alter the clothing I have hanging in my closet that are ill-fitting and in need of shortening and narrowing (when it comes to the neckline...widening). My humble thanks. You helped a pretty frustrated man today who was just about to give up on being able to wear shirts that actually fit. Thank you so very much.

I just discovered your channel and wow, your video's are amazing! Super informative and very professional. I just took a look at your website out of curiosity and now I understand how your video's are so professional: you really do have a background in design! I really want to learn how to sew my own clothes. I am a very tall girl (mostly long legs and a short torso with long arms) and I find it really difficult to find clothes that fit me well. There are few stores that cater to tall women and the ones that do are fast fashion brands that sell bad quality clothes that are absolutely not sustainable and probably also not very ethically made. I really appreciate your video's, it gives me hope that I will be able to make my own clothes in the future!
