Thank you ma for this tutorial its really helpful. My question is that what if I don't want to the front dart? Can I eliminate it by transfer to the side. Bcos I don't like my skirt to have dart on the front line.

[@sewstylewithGB]

@@ajasaadeola6581 You're welcome If you don't want the front dart, don't add it but the back dart is a must

Thank you so much for the tutorial, I'm a beginner and I would like to ask is there any formula on how to get the wrist to under butt measurement incase i don't have anyone around to take the measurement for me, please kindly let me know if there's any other way 🙏🏽

[@sewstylewithGB]

There's none ma It is best to take the under-butt measurement Another thing you could do is come down from the hip line by 5, 6, or 7 depending on the size and height of the person involved

[@tinatynnie5594]

GB I honestly love this method and the peace I feel learning from you. Dear pls what about addition of allowance (ease) I normally add 2inches for ease on my clothes how do i go about it just incase I add so weight or is it not neccessary in this method? Thanks ( kindly treat as urgent) much love❤❤

[@sewstylewithGB]

Adding ease is not necessary but if you want to add, you can add to your measurement first before dividing it.

[@STYLEDIANA0408]

Please can you do a tutorial in cases where the tummy is bigger than the hip as you mentioned in the video I didn’t understand that part 🙏🙏🙏

[@sewstylewithGB]

Ok

[@chiegeonunwobodo8070]

Lovely tutorial ma'am, How do we go about using this skirt pattern with an upper bodice.

[@sewstylewithGB]

Just joined to the upper bodice just the way you do for your normal skirt pattern. Let me know if I have answered your question

[@nwammaobi4092]

Wanted to aske the same question. ​@@sewstylewithGB

[@Norgzylifestyle443]

Thank you for this video its really informative. Please my question is: can this method still be applied to a pencil skirt with an elastic band by the sides? bearing in mind that some inches will be added to the waist which will automatically ulter the original waist measurements in other to accommodate the elastic band?. Thank you.

[@Norgzylifestyle443]

If the answer is yes, Assuming my original waist is "36" and I now add extra "5" making it "41" . So when calculating for the difference between my waist and hips am I to use Hips of "49" - waist of "41" ="8". Thank you.

[@sewstylewithGB]

@@Norgzylifestyle443 No ma

[@adeolahappiness7839]

You definitely got my subscribing ASAP. 😂Weldone sissy

[@sewstylewithGB]

Thank you

[@user-cf5zq8if2j]

Nice tutorial please am a beginner and I want to know if there is a standard measurement for the knee or you will just measure it straight on the body thank you ma

[@sewstylewithGB]

The only standard measurement which is the basic measurement is by taking off 1 inch from what you have on the hip and mark on the hem part. For me, when I'm drafting a PENCIL SKIRT (having a fitted hem) I subtract 3 from my hem ( you can decide to divide by 2, remove 1.5 from the front hip and mark on the hem, remove 1.5 from the back hip and mark on the hem) but I usually remove 1 inch from the front hip to mark on my hem and I remove 2 inches from my back hip and mark on my hem, and I usually love the outcome. So, I will advice that if you are drafting a pencil skirt, for slimmer or small size remove 3inches, for medium size around hip 42 above 4 to 5inches and for plus size hip 52 above use 7 to 8 inches for the hem. If you're using 5inches, remove 2 from the front and 3 from the back If you're using 7 inches remove 2.5 or 3 from the front and 4 or 4.5 inches from the back. NOTE: this is for a contoured pencil skirt, but if you are drafting a normal basic skirt, just remove 1 or 1.5 inches from both the front and back hip to add to the hem part Sorry for replying late

[@tinatynnie5594]

That means for hip 42, you can remove 1 or 1.5 from the front and 3 or 2.5 from the back hem? Am I right?

[@maryethagbhe-si2ti]

This is lovely, pls the sew tutorial

[@sewstylewithGB]

Have already uploaded Here is the link to the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXyZfolmoZ55j7M

[@amosunchika9492]

The 1/2 inches you added to the sides, the 1 inches step down you cut off from the center front and the 1 you slanted at the center back to 1 inches above the hip line. Please if I'm to attach a top to make a full gown, do I have to do all those? Please I will love to know. Please you remove 1 inches at the center back waist to 1 inches above the hip if I'm to remove 1.5 inches, do I have to also remove 1.5 inches from my top center back slanted up towards my neck zip line if I'm to join my top to my skirt as gown or I can take 1.5 inches for my skirt and 1 inches for my top before joining as gown. I hope you understand me, your response will be highly appreciated. I'm one of your subscribers 🎉

[@sewstylewithGB]

@@amosunchika9492 Whatever method I used here can be applied for making a gown The bodice you are making should also have a bust dart so everything can align together, if you don’t know how to make a half scale bodice with bust dart, you can watch it on my channel When I was making this skirt, I wanted to turn it into a gown but I decided to leave it as skirt, so you can join it with your upper bodice to get a gown Thank you

[@victoriaeno3017]

Nice tutorial. But I notice you didn’t add sewing allowance, how are we to sew it?

You will add sewing allowance to the fabric why cutting it

[@osarumwenseiredia5141]

I love d class. Thank u. But I want to as one question how do I get a person's perfect hip debt line?

[@sewstylewithGB]

To get your hip depth line, measure from your waistline (the waistline you put your skirt) to the hip line (the point where the hip is at the fullest). It is usually 8 to 10 inches depending on the height of the person

[@Josephinemok171]

Thank you

[@sewstylewithGB]

You're welcome

[@almarose8074]

And what if the measurement for the underbutt was not taken, is there any formula to get it?

[@sewstylewithGB]

@@almarose8074 From the hip come down by either 5,6,7 inches depending on the largeness of the butt

[@almarose8074]

Is this applicable on a dress?
