Thank you. There is an attention to detail here. I am filling in gaps in my knowledge that I don't get in other tutorials.

[@christophersartorial7671]

You are welcome. One of the reasons I make these videos is to provide information I don''t see elsewhere.

[@christophersartorial7671]

Now that I have some time on my hands, I should be doing more.

[@man149]

@@christophersartorial7671 You made my life much easier with your drafting methods! So grateful of that!

[@agenttoffiehere9578]

Thank you so much! I've been searching for a proper princess seam tutorial. This helped very much❤️

[@yahyakhan6918]

Ah, Sir after a long vacation u are here. Awaiting for ur videos. God bless you with good health and happiness. Thanks for helping us improve our mistakes.

[@christophersartorial7671]

I've had a vacation from making videos, but very busy with my real work. God bless you as well.

[@audreydias1601]

Looks lovely. You are a fantastic teacher. I'm gonna try the princess seams

[@christophersartorial7671]

I hope it works out well for you.

[@roxanne4657]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@christophersartorial7671]

I enjoy doing it.

[@lizsewingtropical1438]

Thank you for showing us this method. You're right, there are many videos out there BUT as I'm learning manly from videos I can see meanwhile what is business making by KZbin and what is really helpful. So I appreciate every video you post. Would be interesting to see what other options there are instead of a dart to reduce the fabric. this is clearly going towards design but inspiring. anyhow, thank you 🌴

[@kahimbicharlotte7104]

Your work is amaizing. Please come back....

[@joanamoreira491]

I just came across your videos. Very helpful! I actually usually only see (and thats the way I always do) the princess seams being drafted from the bodice withs the darts going all the way to the apex. But this way feels way more logical! Will give it a try.

[@sarahandkeenanvlog9561]

He is super, made my mt life easy, got to submit my portfolios soon

[@jesbako]

Thank you so much Christopher for this tutorial. Are you able to please show us how to draft Pants? Thank you

[@lynetteshorten6043]

fantastic tips. I've struggled with my apex being too pointed to ease into the front armscye princess seam.

Thank you so much Sir. Thank you for your time and talent.

[@MrDevante007]

You are quite amazing!!!

[@christophersartorial7671]

You're very kind.

[@raajcprem]

Hi sir, love from India. I greatly appreciate your tutorial and the way of explanation. You have strong confidence and control on your profession. I worked in garments industry for a long time in Broadway NY. I worked as overseas QC and even domestic. I was very much interested in patterns but never got any opportunity Now I feel very happy that I can learn something from you though I am not working now. Can I ask if I want to know something with your permission? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. God bless you with good health and wealth. Best Prem.

[@zaenab292]

You too. Blessings.

[@kanchanmahat8998]

a pant drafting tutorial please

[@lanahuong1]

Could you make a tutorial on a basic pant sloper? Your videos have taught me so much. Thank you immensely.

[@christophersartorial7671]

I'm often asked to demo a pant draft. It's very challenging, even for professionals. Most prefer to start from an existing pattern, or trace a pattern off a well fitting pant.

[@deborahspooner8046]

How do you draft princess seams using a skirt sloper that has two darts?

[@jjjdanceline4126]

Very nice thank you 🙏

[@deborahspooner8046]

This is teaching that explains the why of things, pointing out principles. Great. Any chance of a pants sloper, please?

[@christophersartorial7671]

Thanks. I may eventually show a pant draft, but it's not something I recommend to beginners. Even professionals avoid drafting pants from measurements, preferring to start with an existing pattern, or copying a pattern from a pant that fits well.

[@deborahspooner8046]

@@christophersartorial7671 ok, I understand. On another note, I made a two dart skirt sloper. How do I draft a princess seam dress block when my skirt sloper has two darts? The single dart skirt was a little too sloped at the sides.

[@emorybatten284]

Your videos are wonderful. So clear. I would love a pants sloper too. Also, I am making clothes for my husband as well as for myself. Is everything done differently in mens clothes? If so, will you be venturing into that territory? Thanks so much for fitting these videos into your other work. Stay Safe!

[@christophersartorial7671]

I'm planning to demonstrate a man's shirt draft soon. The differences between men's and women's patterns are slight. Men's jackets, however, take considerably more sewing skill.

[@lifestyle-dl9ch]

Thanks sooo much I will be graduated soon and I’m still having problem making patterns . Please do you have an advice to give me ? Thanks 🙏🏾

[@christophersartorial7671]

Rely on you pattern making books, and develop a well fitting set of slopers. You can then draft almost anything, and what you can't draft, you can drape.

[@clothingalterations]

Amazing 🤩🤩 o

Thanks it's so clear please tell me how to draft full figure women size with bust up to 59"

How to make basic block thank u ❤❤❤❤

[@jesseworkman1446]

Yay!

[@naziaxafer4807]

Plz upload more videos

[@KirstenBladsgaard]

Thank you for these excellent videos, so easy to follow. But for my own shape, I need much more fitting. I’m nearly 70 years old and wanted to draw my self an updated bodice block because my old one didn’t work anymore. My shoulders are moving forward, my back is rounded and I still have a swayback and a flat derrière. Do you make videos for alterations?

[@christophersartorial7671]

Try the bodice draft and see how it works. The bodice draft method allows for differences in the front and back high point shoulder to waist measurements. You may not need alterations, though I suggest you draft the back with a slightly deeper dart at the armhole, about 3/4".

[@naziaxafer4807]

Hi sir can u plz make series on making all these patterns on pear shaped women I would like to share my measurements if u except my request

[@suhanas9783]

Love u

[@cocorise9797]

This appeared to be more difficult

[@christophersartorial7671]

More difficult than what, may I ask? I hope you didn't find it too difficult.

[@jazmeen04]

I don't understand why you don't want the princess seam to go through the real apex, can please explain? Thank you.

[@christophersartorial7671]

It is mearly for esthetic reasons. Modern trends find the wider spacing more visually pleasing.

[@jazmeen04]

Christopher Sartorial alright thanks for replying, looking forward to more videos, maybe a pants slopper.
