Thank you so much, this was so helpful. Really appreciated the video transcript on your website!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Glad it was helpful!

Another great video. Thank you Seamwork!

[@lizzyr-c2708]

Love your videos but please no music. It distracts from the information. Thanks!

[@michelletancini5601]

Thank you, this was very helpful!

[@elysafrancisco7240]

Thank you for this useful video! I must agree with other posters. The music is a bit loud and competes with her voice, making it harder to hear what she is saying.

[@SeamworkVideo]

We're working on that for the future, so thanks for the feedback!

[@lkollett]

Great basic info but that music was driving me batty!

[@SeamworkVideo]

We're working on changing the music for the future!

Hi. I really like the white shirt you are wearing. What is the pattern. Thank you

Hi, how would you add ease to a pattern you are drafting/changing?

[@miriamgladen9615]

Thank you for this explanation. But... I've already know that. What I'm trying to find is the amount of ease that is necessary for snug, loose or oversized fit. I understand that this might be individually designed for each pattern and person but is there a general amount of inches and a standard list? Thank you for answering and love from Germany

[@SeamworkVideo]

You are right that desired amounts of ease vary from person to person and design to design, but if you Google "ease chart" you will see many examples listing ease ranges for fitted, semi-fitted, loose, and oversized garments.

​@@SeamworkVideo thank you so much

[@Ali-yo6vl]

How do you calculate negative ease for stretch fabrics, given there are fabrics that are more stretchy than others.

[@annachiesa1940]

Hi Robyn (Robin?), is the blue top in the background one of your patterns? if so, could you please tell me which one? thanks!!!

[@essipolho]

Hi, it looks to me like the free York pattern. But I could be wrong...

[@wendyb7993]

Great info thanks. 🥳🥳The music was a little off putting tho !

[@SeamworkVideo]

Noted!

[@anatosia01]

It's hard to hear you well with all the music.

[@SeamworkVideo]

If you're having trouble hearing, you can turn on the closed captions -- just hit the CC icon at the bottom of the video.

[@mauraricketts2769]
