👩 About me 👩
My name is Jin Kim and I have been a professional pattern maker for over 20 years.
While I had one-on-one teaching besides my full-time work, I could teach only a few people. So, I created a KZread channel in 2021 to reach out to more people so that they can get benefits from my experience.
This channel is all about pattern makings. You’re in the right place if you are a young professional or a fashion student who wants to improve your pattern-making skills.

Hi Jin. I'm not at the level where I want to self draft yet, but I enjoy your videos. Dumb question: Does this bodice block work for knit? As I understand, knit bodice block is for slim-fitting clothes. If one makes loose-fitting t-shirts and sweaters, then they can use this basic bodice block?

Hello, Jin I hope you're good. I have a question concerning the darts on the waist: I understand how you got the difference of 4" but what I don't understand is how you distributed/took in along the waist and darts. You demonstrated two methods on how you can take in the waist and darts but when I calculated these figures they were over 4" which was the difference between the chest & waist. Please explain how you got these figures used in your example, and how are they distributed along the waist. I hope I'm sense 🙈
@PatternStudio101
6 ай бұрын
If the difference between the chest and waist is 10”, you need to take out 5” because it’s half of the body. Then I’d take out 1.5” at the side seam, 1.75” at the front dart, and 1.25” at the back dart, and 0.5” at the center back. This is not the fixed rule. The idea is that the front dart would be the biggest for the bust shape. You can take out 0.5” maximum at the center back. Then the back dart will be the smallest. Hope it makes sense.

You can make bodice blocks without darts only for knit fabric. Other than that you need darts for the shape. It doesn’t matter where the darts are. You can choose the one easier for you. And you can transfer the darts as your design.

Hello Jin, firstly, I would like to thank you for sharing your wisdom. I would like to ask: where all those formulas came from? I am trying to understand the drafting of patterns and this question is following me all the time and I just can not find the answer. And I am even more confused because almost everyone has different formulas for pattern drafting. Thank you very much for your help.
@PatternStudio101

Hi, first of all, there's no perfect formula that exists. There are a lot of different formulas for different fabrics, different fits, and different designs. But you still need some kind of starting point. Formulas are for just starting point if you have no idea where to start. And it's important to understand where those ideas are from. Then you will get better understanding with practice. Thank you!

@@PatternStudio101 I really would like to understand pattern drafting and fitting to exact body. What would you recomend to do? Is there any possibility to learn it from some book or someting... like theorethical way or it is thing of practise? Because I was trying to draft pattern, than cut it out of fabric, then stitch it, try it on, didnt fit so fix some mistakes, stitch it again, try it on, didnt fit and do this all over again and again. And it was kind of frustating for me and I was wondering if there is not some advise, some rules that when you do it it will work. Because after all those hundreds of years of people sewing and drafting patterns I just dont believe that pattern drafting kind of alchemy which you somehow need to learn by practice and there is no real guidance of how to draft pattern so it will fit anybody perfectly.
@PatternStudio101

@tatianatakacsova I can feel your frustration. But let me tell you. I am a professional pattern maker for more than 20 years. Pattern maker's job is fitting & pattern adjustments most of time. If there's formulas for perfect fit, I don’t think the world needs pattern makers any more. 😆 People have all different body shapes. Fabric reacts in a different way. Each design requires its own fit. If you're not a professional pattern maker, I think you can purchase patterns and start from there. Do the fitting and revise patterns for the fit you want. That's a little easy way. If you want to learn pattern making properly, give yourself enough time to learn and practice. And start with pattern block making. Decide one area. For example, learn pant pattern first. Or focus on blouses first. There should be good books out there to learn it. But I don't know very well because the books I learned were mostly Korean and it was a long time ago. And I have an online course that teaches pattern block making and fitting. Take a look at my website, if that's what you want.
