[@2potSkreema]

Oh honey, I’ve been looking for a training video for so long for a tutorial that jogged my memory from my young years I can’t deal with pre made patterns any longer I didn’t want to go back to study again just a memory jogger and your tutorials have nailed it. Thank you! 😊

You are a great teacher 👩‍🏫.

[@jessicacouture6969]

This SHOULD be the recommended video for basic bodice because you really make something that at first is intimidating so simple 🫶🏾

[@amelyahrenee9223]

[@hildamonicamonica7904]

Thankyou. Slowly catching up, but to go over it again to master it.

[@esthernjoki3765]

Learnt alot. Please keep up the good work. Waiting for more.

[@kimmfitzgerald434]

Beautiful fabric! Fantastic tutorial!!

[@TheJamgirl]

Fantastic teacher ad personality! Thank you and of course I subscribed!

[@jacquelinebaxter4750]

So informative. I like your method and look forward to making the bodice. I especially like the way the arms fit.

[@carmencarmen6105]

What a njce tutorial thank you so much

[@lilaclemonade686]

I have another question. Using the pattern you created, it has resulted in your top being perfectly fitted at your side bust. So if you add a side bust dart, wouldn’t it be more tighter and way too fitted? I want my bodice to be perfectly fitted only around the bust and loose fitting below the bust. Should I not use the waist dart then?

[@songyang999]

Thank you for your videos. It’s a lot of help.

[@CreatedIAm]

You are welcome! Blessings 😊

[@vanessaopp2000]

Thank you very much, vids are great (Y)

[@jmorgo111]

the marker you’re using to outline the fabric, what’s it called ?

[@marciaholmes9399]

So glad I found you on KZbin. Your insight and knowledge is so helpful. Thank you for all of the tips. Love your videos. In this video are you using Ankara wax material? It looks beautiful! I love the colors.

[@CreatedIAm]

Yes I am using Ankara Wax Material 😊

[@lahjashapaka5375]

thank you so much, you're awesome for this

[@brendas.7335]

This series of videos is exceptionally done!! So clear & good teaching skills. Have you ever tried an invisible zipper foot on your machine? For me it made a big difference in helping me sew super close to the zipper teeth & the end result is really good! Keep up the great videos!! These are much easier to listen to & follow than some other block creating videos 👍Excellent job 👏👏

[@CreatedIAm]

Yes I have, it's a game changer! I'm glad the series is helpful ✨

[@familyofkannan]

Best ever

[@MontoriaPowell]

Love it

[@veemac3071]

Love it Thanks!♥️

[@bnoviembre5568]

Thanks so much for the tutorial , very well explained

[@CreatedIAm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@angelaoltmannswarren1196]

Thank you so much....love your videos. Can you make one for measurement and creating pattern for pants?

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi! I haven't sewed pants yet 😄. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[@amberleschak3163]

If I wanted to add a liner on the inside of the front, when would I add this in? Before or after the dart? If prior to the dart, and the bottom of the lining ends at the top of the dart. Would I sew the bottom of the lining in with the dart? Or just see the dart in the bodice layer?

[@vasotsir]

If I want it to be more wide fitted? How do I adjust it?

[@bodon2306]

Great job. Just wondering about cutting the material....you didnt actually mention the concept of "along the bias' or parallel to selvage? Any thoughts ?

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi wonderful! ✨ This is because the material I used (Ankara) doesn't get effected by this too much. I tend to naturally cut vertically or horizontally as opposed to diagonally which means that stretch or fraying is not as much of as problem with a material like Ankara . If your material is effected a lot by how it is cut, maybe because of stretch, then do try to cut along the bias.

[@sherryjoubert5887]

What kind of fabric are you using

[@salifuyahaya4674]

Infact you are too good

[@wishfullycontent]

Would all of this hold true for making a top for men? Would I still add the darts? Do I need to add to the measurements for a male? (I am trying to make a costume for my son. It needs to be somewhat fitted but not as much as a woman’s top.

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi! The principles are similar. Men do not need darts though. I hope to make a video on this in the future ✨

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi Wonderful! ✨I am glad to be back with a series showing you how to measure for, draft and sew your own TROUSERS 👖!! Check out the first video here 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYXJeIyErMmIo6c. The pattern drafting video will be uploaded on the first Saturday of September; SUBSCRIBE🚨 and turn on the NOTIFICATION BELL 🔔 to keep up to date 😊

[@debbiealessandro456]

Do you have a current video describing how to add a collar and button front, to this basic bodice block? I'm interested in making my own suit jackets, maybe some with a zipper front. I can't buy clothes in a store because I'm tall and no one has a tall womens department.

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi 🌸 I haven't ventured into this area yet (I would like to) but there's some nice content out on youtube that may help. Blessings.

[@valkeeley]

great video really clearly explained, just one question - what about ease? do I have to add this as I go or is it included in the seam allowance?

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi ✨! As this pattern is fitted the only place I add ease is at the hip when drafting the pattern, see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3KbYqqQo9SUbpY at time 8:38 . This tends to work for me as the measurements that were taken and used were not tight. I have used this technique on different body types and it worked well. If needed e.g. if I am working with a thicker material/lining, I may add more ease at different spots on the pattern when cutting the material. Hope this helps.

[@denisehills229]

hello ,I try your basic draft which fit perfectly but 1 problem the armhole has a pucker,is it because it's for sleeve only, I love sleeveless,thank you

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi wondeful! Sorry for the late reply. Yes you are correct. For a sleeveless you can use the tightended version of your armsceye measurment.

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I learned sew-much watching your videos.

[@tatacousin]

The sleeve pattern is showing as unavailable

[@CreatedIAm]

Hi 😊 Is it back now ? Blessings.
