Hi I really love your video. Could you do one on how to cut a male shirt with yoke. Also showing how you measure

[@jaysomeone]

In which case you should show in the pattern how to add the one in to the hemline because this is a pattern with side darts. Otherwise after sewing in the side darts, the back and front dont match. It happened to me already.

[@kumaripun4129]

Hi can you pls show how to transfer it on the fabric.😊

[@jaysomeone]

Thank you for your reply, does that apply to tops as well?

THANK YOU!! This helped a LOT! I'm making a vest for prom in about a month and I wanted to make a pattern so it would turn out good! 😁 I just taped paper together because I don't have parchment or pattern paper but it still works fine!

Hey! Sorry this is late but you can also use the unpatterned side of gift wrapping paper

[@elainerhule5973]

I had to comment because you simplified this process so much. I have sewn a few things free style but knowing how to patterns as well as draping method will improve what I do a lot. The best and most simplified post. Thank you!

[@amaraezionye6739]

Pls what happens to length of the blouse when I remove the 1” inch side dart.thanks

[@bhawnachahal9386]

For a fitted top of any kind, it will show as little excess fabric. For a loose top, it really won't matter. Also, if you have small bust, you don't need a lot of shaping. But for big bust people, it gives a nice shape. I hope this helps

[@chisengokayombo9190]

by far the best explanation ive come across

[@kirandeep4452]

I'm totally pissed off with the local tailors. So, decided to try stitching my own cloths, and tried on couple of fabrics but everytime I am not able to cut armhole properly. Day before I came across your video and followed the instructions and guess what.. Bingo..... the fitting was perfect... so, thank you so much. For sharing the videos..

[@larissadalrymple4302]

Your tutorial was good but once u insert the bust dart on the front bodice it gets shorter so a 1 inch should be added to the hem in ordered for the front and back to match while sewing

[@donlarriecouture]

You are right, any inch removed for dart needs to be replaced. One of my princess dart video explained that. Thank you 😍

@@donlarriecouture How do you add the 1 inch at the bottom? When it is cut will the side me longer than the middle, then when the dart is made the bottom will be straight across?

Thanks for the video I really liked it .... But I have a question . .. we divided the side of the front to get our bust dart and we took one inch and use it for the bust dart wouldn't it affect the side back when stiching

[@donlarriecouture]

We are going to add the 1inch back to the front hemline. Hope you understand what I meant
