I’ve been making my own patterns since I started sewing (because I was a kid and did not have money for patterns, lol, but now I just prefer it) and hearing your 180 degree rule suddenly makes every pattern I’ve ever made that just didn’t quite work out make way more sense. Thank you!

I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching.

You sew for the same basic reason I do...fit. You, a mishap in your youth that you've selflessly shared with us all through your website. Myself, the product of a generation of chain smokers...I never grew "right", and nothing after the age of 12 fit me off the rack. You're very generous to put these tips forward. They're not only helpful, they add dimension to these "general fit" sewing patterns we often come across at your local Fabricland. I have not answered one of your auto generated emails. I'm still trying to compose the "tell me about yourself" question. Not sure why I am struggling to write this, but there it is. Guess it's sort of like trying to relate to a relatable person when you yourself are the polar opposite. Point? Yes, there is. You shared a pretty vulnerable fact about yourself with us all by revealing what that accident did to you, and why you sew. For some of us with body and fit issues, that is a lot to take in. It also is inspiring. If you can make it look that good, and wear your sewing projects with such pride, maybe I can do the same? I dunno, but I do want to thank you, seriously. I am starting to feel as if I am able to create fit and finish for myself that will bring out my own best, even if I don't have the frame to wear things that drape or hang. That is for the lanky guys I guess. Anyway, weirdo here says thanks!

Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. It's great to get to hear about the folks watching my content so thank you. Thank you for being vulnerable as well! It takes a lot. I have full faith you can make the clothes you want for yourself as well. You're you and you belong. We're all weird :)

Wish all home ec teachers were like you. There would be more happy sewing in the world❣️

Just watching the way he talks, his enunciations, little hand motions, etc. He is mesmerizing, very entertaining and relaxing to watch, plus he's the only one on KZread I've found who makes videos that make sense. Going step by step, explaining every little thing he does so the viewer doesn't get lost, etc. Amazing videos. I've been trying to find more comfortable classical styles (like the English Drape Cut, high waisted trousers) but its so hard because I can't even get the basics of tailoring down. This channel has helped me do that, and now I'm making my own stuff. He's epic.

You are extremely kind! Thank you and I hope you stick with it and end up making everything you desire.

A game changer for me was when I realized that it’s not the cut edge that I needs to match but the SEWING line this is especially true at the shoulder seams. I highly recommend basting as well. Great quick adjustments for a better more comfortable fit 👍🏼

@CorneliusQuiring

This is a great point! It took me a really long time to realize this myself as well. Thanks for mentioning the basting stitch as well, a valuable tip.

Ah! I’ve often wondered why some pattern pieces have that tiny straight bit before a curve. Now it all makes sense. Thanks for this video! Your attention to detail really helps me be better!

We need both commercial and indie pattern designers to watch this because the number of times I’ve sewn an inside leg seam and ended up with a mountain shape at the crotch is ridiculous. That obviously causes further problems because when the excess is trimmed away, the crotch curve changes shape and is deeper and the inside leg seam shorter
