I realize this is not a new video, but ... I just wanted to thank Nick for his videos. I have been home sewing for 45 years, but have never really learned draping. It was for *designers* not seamstresses. Watching Nick has made the connection between the finished product and the how and why patterns are shaped the way they are! Now I have a much better idea how to create the changes I want. Thank you, Sir!

Love! Nick, Is it possible to drape a jacket or coat? Thanks😬

[@vivianr6406]

Where have you been all my life!? All of this used to be a mystery to me and you explain it so clearly. Thank you

[@ami7mina]

Your channel inspires me. Found it today. Keep doing what you are doing, you are an inspiration., I am starting from making clothes for fashion dolls. I have designed so many dresses but can't translate them into actual fabric form.

[@TriggaTreDay]

I am so grateful for your videos. You are an amazing teacher and I look forward to continuing to learn from you, I even have my husband watching your videos🤗. I would be really interested in seeing your take on draping a coat, one that particularly falls mid thigh. Also what's your take on bell dresses 👗? Do you make lingerie? Is that drape worthy? 🤔.... Thanks a ton!

[@missygeorge1315]

Hi Nick I loved this video , learned something new. I just wanted to ask if you could do a video for a sweetheart neckline strapless dress

[@kellyanntheoneandonly7377]

Nick can you do a tank top dress with gathers like this and a low cut front

[@ankithajain2975]

should we clip it on the main fabric too or directly use the markings on the drapped muslin? ?

[@Life-vo4yd]

I love it

[@abieyuwaaedosomwan]

This is very nice but how do you remove it from the mannequin and sew it

[@suzanneharb1788]

After marking all the cut lines on the muslin when it's still on the mannequin. You remove all the pins and lay your pieces on the table. Mark all the seem allowances, which is normally 2 cm for the side seem. 1,5 for the shoulder and1cm for the under bust cut line. After that lay it on the real fabric. Folded in half. Place the center lines on the fold and cut. And READY to sew. 😉

I think your an amazing designer i loved watching you on project runway and all-stars I love to sew my own clothes the one thing I don't really get is how to take the muslin from the form and make the garment itself I'm thinking it would be like using a regular pattern

[@Stephsgotit]

[@Handicraftsbyclassicnaari]

uh explain so beautifully but please tell how to transfer the muslin drape on final fabric

[@justinejutte34]

Hi Nick, as always I love your videos and I always learn so much. Do you have a video on taking the muslin you have created that shows how you sew it into the final product? And also how you lay it out onto the material you want to sew?

[@TriggaTreDay]

Justine Jutte yes, he has a video where he shows you how to turn it into a custom pattern (which was amazing btw) and from there you would do the same as you would with a store bought pattern using the fabric of your choice! I hope that helps.

[@joelizakanoy2051]

Thank you, fun watching you while learning,

[@sheetalb12]

How to make dresses for different measurements ? Pls guide

[@SunnySimmer80]

Unfortunately, I don’t think you have any recent videos but I just wanted to ask. Where is the best place to buy inexpensive muslin and will you show us how to unpin it from the form to head to the sewing machine? I love your videos!
