I'm learning how to draft patterns so you don't have to

[@SewMuchBlack]

Totally agree. When I first started sewing, I had the feeling of being totally inadequate, and nothing fit me. I needed a long long time to try again, and then bait of a shorter time to try it again. The more I sew, the more I try, the easier it gets, the better it fits, and the more I can understand what my sources like that exact patternmaking book even say. I guess taking apart garments and doing copies of hem is a great preparation, but nothing beats constructing a garment / fit block by yourself and realising it just fits.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You summed up the experience well. It really is a matter of just keeping at it and growing the skills bit by bit. Accomplishments along the way are also motivating. Thanks for share.

[@SewMuchBlack]

@@CorneliusQuiring i stumbled upon the idea of the "growth mindset" again yesterday. go search "carol dweck / growth mindset" on youtube or on google, you'll find great stuff that explains why our experience is this way. also "grit" by angela duckworth. both have talks at google on youtube.

I've had a go at making a few trousers after watching your videos... I haven't managed to make anything aside from what can only be described as medieval peasant rags so far but I'm getting better with each attempt. I look forward to more of your videos on trouser making! There aren't nearly enough youtubers covering mens tailoring so it's great to see!

"Medieval peasant rags" are nothing to scoff at. 😏 My early attempts weren't that great either :) I too recall there not being much information about menswear when I started so hopefully my experiences cal help others. Thanks for watching and good luck with your makes!

I bought this book last year for my tailoring course, one thing I found was that some measures are off a bit (the waistcoat draft for example needs an extra 5cm minimum added in width and length) but it's a super useful resource especially when finding a drafting method that suits you. Love your videos as always.

Literally bought this book a few weeks ago to try and learn how to make patterns. It's pretty straight forward as long as you have your measurements however I also found they need tiny tweaks; those curves are tricky for sure. My problem is that there are no instructions on how to sew all the pattern bits together or what order to sew them in. Do you have any book recommendations that would complement this one?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice. I am glad to hear you are learning from the book. Unfortunately, I do not have any books that I use to learn how to sew pants, but rather a random assortment of KZbin tutorials. I do plan to do 1 video for drafting and then a second one to show how I sew pants.

Ahh this is wonderful! Can you please make a video about lining pants?

Can you please also make a video on adjusting pant blocks to make those nice high-rise 1940s style trousers? :D

That' a good idea! I plan to make another pair of pants out of a linen and plan to fully line them, so I could do it then.

[@keeplearning2734]

Will you talk about drafting the pattern only or sewing it too? I noticed that this book tells you how to draft only so it's kinda difficult for beginners like me and there are also other things that we need to draft next to the pants basic block like the waistband and the zipper fly etc... I've always wanted to discuss this book with others

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I plan to do it in two parts. The first one is going to be how to draft the pattern and alter it to fit. I will also discuss the basics of drafting the fly and pockets. Then the second video is going to be sewing a pair of pants with the pattern we made.

[@orfner]

Watching the video and your process of iterations »minor tweaks« as you phrase it… How do you go about transferring the tweaks to the pattern? Or do you create a correction to the pattern and always cut new fabric / open the seams. A pointer would be great how this works! Since it is repetitive I am sure editing Corn cut this part out of footing… I am learning to sew and draft my mens wear inspired by your content :)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

The reality is that it all depends on the moment. If it's minor tweaks, I'll do them right on the sample garment and then apply them to the pattern after. If it's substantial, I'll return to the pattern, update as needed and then create a new sample. Good luck with your sewing. I hope you're able to create whatever your heart desires :)

[@orfner]

Thanks! A suit that fits me would be magnificent :)

[@orfner]

Not because I have a difficult size / fit but I imagine that’s the holy grail of tailoring. Perhaps you have one in the making of your Time Capsule wardrobe… I would love to see what you come up with.

Hi!!! I have the same textbook and was just wondering how does one learn assembly for all the items in the book? How did you learn assembly?

Yes, assembly is very different from drafting. I learned with a patchwork of random KZbin tutorials and good ol' fashion trial and error. I am focused on making tutorial videos these days so perhaps you can learn a thing or 2 from my videos :)

[@psrobert1961]

Aldrich does everything in metric. How are you doing the metric to imperial conversion? I'm particularly interested in the ease measurements. Is it a strait 1:1 conversion? ie: 3cm is 1.181in. Are you just rounding off to the nearest 1/8 inch?

Yes, just rounding to the nearest 1/4 or so inch.
