Thank you Lainie! I am glad you enjoyed despite the math haha!

THANK YOU!!! I've never seen this drafting business. For forty years, I've hacked away at a Kenmore machine that belonged to my mother, and I had no idea that there is a way to do this that is simple, elegant, and logical. What's more amazing is that I will be able to do it using stuff I already have: tissue paper from CVS, a bedsheet retrieved from my donate pile, a tape measure, and a good pair of scissors. I had to look up 'balancing' a pattern--also brilliant! It explains why I looked like such a ragamuffin in the 80s, and not so much like Madonna or Cyndi Lauper. My plans now include making a SHARP pair of britches! Brava!

THANK YOU! My pants came out perfect after the 1st alteration. Your tip on the crotch length has been the key to many happy pants!

Thank you for the 'Real' drafting and adjusting... and the 'why's'. Well done! Nice fit.

I like the way you explained and fit it afterwards. Easy to understand. Love to see the continuation of the final pattern.

This is great! I was looking for something detailed and really getting into the fine tuning of fit. Beautiful!

Fantastic video! So helpful to see your process… finally understanding what walking the seams means

Thank you! I'm making my first pattern with this textbook and I've got quite overwhelmed with it. Seeing you make the samples and the extra tips clarified a lot to me!

Very clear tutorial, I will have to watch a few times to make sure I get the tricks that you've shown, as it takes me a while to grasp things like this. Thank you x

CROTCH EXTENSION CLARIFICATION: The front extension is 1/16 of your entire hip girth. So if your hip is 40, divide 40 by 16 and that is how much your have to add for the front crotch extension. The back extension is 1/8 of your entire hip girth so, again, if your full hip girth is 40, divide 40 by 8 and that is your back crotch extension. It is correct in the video if you ignore the additional note I put on the screen in orange letters. Just remember that we are working with one side of the front hip and one side of the back hip, and for the front extension you would find a 1/4 of the front width of your draft and add that as the extension. For the back you would find 1/2 of the front width of your draft and add that as the back extension. Its the same thing as above just may be more confusing to some.

The front and the back have a straight line going down the middle of the leg and you have distances from there. The crotch is like a circle but the "middle part" is brought toward the front. So that "dip" you see, it connects into a half circle and goes under the crotch. Then you need darts, usually mid way in front and back to gather fabric to accommodate the shape from the wide hips to the waist. It's harder to explain than understand. It's really simple.

This was really detailed and I'm going to try drafting this. The place where I'm currently learning, keeps front and back the same and i know from just looking at existing pants that the crotch length fr front and back has to be diff, so I'll try this. I wanted to know whether adding a waistband (abt 1.5 inches) affects this drafting. Shld we measure crotch length from top of waistband or excluding it.

Thanks ma'am

You may have got my extension confused. The front extension is 1/16 of your entire hip girth. So if your hip is 40, divide 40 by 16 and that is how much your have to add for the front crotch extension. The back extension is 1/8 of your entire hip girth so, again, if your full hip girth is 40, divide 40 by 8 and that is your back crotch extension. I need to correct that in the video.

Could you possibly so a qucik video on the best way to set you Illustrator toolbar up for the most streamline process of working?

wonderful video, I am currently in the process of making pantalons that can accommodate suspenders. the modern clothing retailers within my reach skip the bit between the waist and the hips (I think because its cheaper and men don't know how comfortable suspenders are). I think I need to alter a few things to this method (I need excess width for suspenders) but this video taught me many things. should result in a cleaner silhouette than altering an oversized pair by lowering the crotch(gaining height of the band/length of the rise). any recommendations on things that I should do different than the method in this video as I am making this for trousers worn by man?

@LydiaNaomi

2 жыл бұрын

so if I am understanding correctly you want a higher waist pant for suspenders? I think maybe mens trousers have less of a deep dart on the waist, it just all depends on your measurements. If you follow this according to your measurements you should be ok :)

@LydiaNaomi

I think you could draft from lower but it's easier I think, to draft from the waist then just measure down on each line however much you want to lower the waist. That's what I do ☺️

Thank you for this! I struggle with the front part of the crotch line. I get little diagonal lines upwards towards my hip. I guess it is too much fabric at some point and not enough at another? Or maybe I need to adjust the way the curve goes?

Hi, thank you so much for this video! I have a question regarding the first sample you made. I made my block and it fits perfectly EXCEPT for the two flaps that stick out of the sides of the hips (like in your first sample). I know you said you corrected this in the block creation, but I'm wondering if you can walk me through how you did it? I tried to take in the hips slightly and it didn't seem to work...Thanks for any help you can offer :)

@LydiaNaomi

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Jenny, that happens because the curve is too high. Put your sample on inside out and pinch and pin the seams where it is sticking out, then either measure it or place it against your pattern and trace it out so that it fits your hips right :)

When do you recommend walking the pattern/block” - before your first muslin or after all the muslin/samples you’ve tweaked “to perfection”?

@LydiaNaomi

2 жыл бұрын

Walk it right away I would say, or at least before your final sample, but right after you draft, its best so that you don't have to worry, and walk it every time you make adjustments that could mess with the seams matching ☺️
