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?

I can’t wait to do this! And try and make your drafted vest pattern! I’ve just found some wool “scraps” and that’s the only logical thing I can think to make with it that I’ll have enough fabric for. Thank you so much for all the detail and measurements for each step.

[@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

[@justanothersherlockian7058]

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

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

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

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