it is imperative you get your fit garments figured out first before you try and design any garments to actually make. The admin of Wild Ginger are a great resource in telling you the little tweaks you need to make in the main program in order to have a proper fit garment. I don't have, nor intend to create, any videos on how to do this.

Nothing like repetition to hone a skill level.

And your interest is why I keep making. Some commands are useful in different ways so make sure to practice. Thanks for watching!!

So did I. I am hoping the finished garment turns out just as stylish.

Thank you so much, Susan. I am so happy that my videos help and inspire you to revisit this skill. Since buying this system, I haven't purchased a tissue pattern in over 5 years.

So glad to hear that.

I took a break for a bit due to health issues but I am back at it now with lots of new videos on the baaic commands and how to daft inspirational pieces.

You are so welcome!

exactly. Otherwise when you try to snap (right click) a dart line to the dart point, the apex circle could end up the point of connection instead of the guide line end . 1 1/5" is an arbitrary number on my end. It could be 1", 2" however much you need to move it out of the way. The important thing is to move it straight across so you can easily find the original point when you move it back.

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 Thank you for the explanation. I will try it.

Will the whole jacket be lace?

yes the whole vest will be lace

@@lindamcdonald3151 You first said it was a jacket but now a vest? I am confused. If you make either a jacket or vest strictly out of lace, it will have zero structure and, I fear, a disappointment. Either one needs structure to present well. The most beautiful lace combinations I have seen is with lace over a solid contrasting fabric. Such as chocolate and cream. As an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3TRk2ljpLKrm8k I call what I did in this video "underlining" however I suppose the proper word for it is "interlining" so as not to confuse anyone.

i am sorry but i thought i said jacket,it is a jacket ,i see in a video on youtube some one doing only lace for a jacket,me myself thought the same as you are saying ,so what fabric would be best for a underling? for the lace fabric i want to use i will be use for a jacket

@@lindamcdonald3151 Again, it depends on the drape of the lace as to what weight of "underlining" (what I did here was "interlining") you should use. Also, the style of the jacket should be taken into consideration. Is it a loose fitting jacket or fitted? If loose, you may not need underlining at all but a structure jacket such as a blazer will need more structure under the lace. You could just make the jacket out of the underlining first, building in the structure, then just do a "lace overlay". I made a denim blazer and put black lace over it and it was one of my favorite jackets. Alas, the doggos chewed on it and I gained weight so it no longer fits. I still have it quasi determined to pick it out and try to salvage it somehow. A bit more information is really needed in order to give specific tips for your project.

Thank you for your kind words. :) I am glad they are helping. Keep practicing your CAD skills and make sure you make a mock up first before you cut into your fashion fabric. I hope to get back to producing more videos soon.

I have no problem with the link to my pattern. I did not check the link to the original pattern.

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 Thank you, for some reason the like wasn't showing up yesterday, thank you so much

@@1954evelyn No problerm. Have fun with it. You can make many really cool bow ties. Even as a woman, I have often worn men's ties and would certainly sport a bow tie if the outfit called for it. 😍

Yep, it was. I have made that video public now here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2OrdYWngr6oodk

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 Thank You!

Any chance you could re-link, Lisa?

@@helenmclean6952 What are the boxes labeled as?

And most of the boxes that need measurments entered are not responsive...

@@helenmclean6952 It won't work if you don't download it to your computer and open it with Excel or Excel reader

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 Yes, I downloaded the linked file and opened it with MS Excel. The missing boxes are the two top right ones, one is the zipper box. I can't enter measurements into some boxes eg the 1/2 circle waist measurement.

I started losing my voice during long periods of talking so I opted, instead, for written instructions. There is always a linear progression to pattern drafting as one drafting point can/will affect the other areas of the pattern.

Thank you, Helen. I have 2 more that I am working on but I wanted to also include the making of the garments. I had a request for that and thought I would include it as well. I hope to have them uploaded in the next 6 months or so. Sorry I am not more regular in my uploads, I suffer from depression and, at times, it is difficult. I hope everyone understands. Just remember, when you make your own wardrobe to fit YOUR body, you are creating "couture" garments and can proudly say "I only wear Couture"!

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 Definitely no need to apologise, Lisa, you are more than generous in your sharing and we all thank you for it. By the way, this comes to you from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

@@helenmclean6952 And when did you purchase PMB? What was your primary reason for buying the program? What is your skill level so far with the program? What would you like to see insofar as Editor changes are concerned? I welcome suggestions. I can't create everything but I can most.

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 I purchased PMB about 4 months ago while doing a patternmaking course at college. I really enjoyed the course and I felt that having some understanding of patternmaking principles would allow me to explore the full scope of PMB. My goal is to be able to imagine a design and then make it happen. I'm still learning to use PE so can't really comment on whether any improvements could be made. It seems like a versatile but quite complex program to me.

@@helenmclean6952 An understanding to geometry is helpful with PE and 3d geometry for pattern making from a sloper.

They are always yippy-yapping at me.

I am happy it helped you. Just remember to make your muslin test garment first to make sure everything fits well.

Great Question! I will answer your last question first. Yes, as long as you have a PDF printer program (Adobe Acrobat professional or an off brand) you can print patterns in a PDF format. Insofar as your wanting to derive money from selling printed patterns, there is a big obstacle to that with Child's Play or any of the other stand alone programs which is they will not print as multi-sized patterns. Cameo ($1200) is the only Wild Ginger program that grades patterns and I don't think that Child's Play is included, only women's patterns. I hope that answers your question. Sorry if it wasn't the answer you wanted.

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 so you mean i cant sell graded patterns of different sizes in one pdf if i buy childsplay (individual software). For that i have yo buy cameo? Is that so? Or i can make different pdfs of different sizes and sell them seperatly?

The only patterns you can sell are those created in Cameo. The other Wild Ginger pattern programs are for personal use and used for clients and friends. They are copyrighted inasmuch as WG does not allow you you to create a pattern in Boutique , print it out and sell it. You need Cameo for that.

Actually, no. I had to look up ASMR videos to see what they are and I can say that that was not my intention at all. I used to talk in my videos but my voice is giving out as I get older and, if I talk too much, it starts to get gravely and cut out. My videos are tutorials on how to work with Wild Ginger's suite of garment construction programs. I don't always make the garment but with this particular playlist, I will be and filming the construction as well.

@@lisahaasecustomsewing2106 Lovely x

Steamer, I am sorry that my email is showing incorrectly as that email is no longer valid. Additionally, I have recently developed some type of neurological condition that results in continual trembling to the point that I can no longer take on client projects. I wish you well in trying to find someone to help your friend.

Thank you very much.

I gear this channel mostly on how to use PMB and manipulate it's block patterns into something different. I seldom make any of the items I draft however I have 1 outfit that I have drafted and will be going through the entire construction process as a series sometime later.

I know. Sorry. I was probably filmed at night since I sew at all hours.

Glad that it was helpful. Your most welcome!

Your welcome!

Most welcome. Glad it helped.

Lisa Haase Thanks Lisa.. if you're able to find me one. I'll happily wire you some money. Also shipping fee. You can mail me on [email protected] Would really appreciate this. I'm in Cape Town South Africa. And that lil iron is like a diamond in a haystack.. THANKS again

Your quite welcome

Each style is custom fit for an individual. This is not a standard size. In order to create this as you suggest, I would need Cameo which grades the patterns to varying sizes. Thanks for the compliment though!

For some reason, I never saw this comment.No, I did not configure this to a multi-sized pattern that can be sold.

Happy to provide instructions/tutorials that are beneficial. PE is indeed a wonderful program with many uses. I have even used it to lay out a series of framed picture I want to hang on the wall.

Linda, just keep working with it and watching the vids. There is nothing wasted about repeating a style over and over again until you understand the steps required to reproduce it. Practice makes perfect.

Your quite welcome. Have fun! The most important thing to do at first is to get your sloper fitting perfectly. Wild Ginger has excellent support in getting this fitting properly. Also, don't forget to first make muslin test garments of any new design you have altered in PMEditor before you cut into the fabric.

You are quite welcome. Don't forget to make your muslin test garment first. Also, take your measurements a couple times a year. I have been known to gain and lose weight often during the course of a year. I tend to make my garments tighter to my body than the normal ease settings (2-2 1/2" bust/hip & 3/4" waist) when I should have kept them. I made this garment before I gained & now cannot wear it. Bummer

I don't think so. I like the control of hand grading collars & cuffs so I haven't tried adjusting those settings. I imagine not.
