Your video give me glimps of what I had learned more than to decades ago. The way you explain every step is easy to understand. Thank you so make, for sharing your videos. You're Amazing 👏🏻 💖

I wish I had not played the fool during pattern making classes in school. You have saved my life here. Thank you so much for such a brilliant tutorial

[@robindennis3737]

Hi Kim, I was looking for comfortable and professional tutorials to watch and help me get back into sewing. Everyone wasn't helping me properly until I came across yours. I really can relate to your tutorials, your presence is beautiful and the way you really take the time to explain everything in that wonderful accent of yours. What I'm trying to say is I appreciate your videos they're very helpful Keep up the good work God bless you always😁❤✌

[@rosymaze]

Thank you soo much! A lot of people make tutorials on how to make (but it should say *sew*) a mini skirt and they just whip out a pattern and expect you to also already have one. Then they just sew it up like anyone else would.

[@michellegere9531]

Sorry to ask you this but would it be possible to make a video of how to sew a lining on a skirt please... thank you so much 😊

[@adeolaolagunju1]

Thank you Kim.This video was very helpful in understanding how to draft the pattern of a simple skirt.

I think the info you provide is detailed and complete as a brand newbie trying to learn. The video went so fast though it was hard to follow a bit for me. I had to rewatch a few times and again when I got ready actually make something. Thank you for doing this. Do you have a dress pattern tutorial? One with sleeves? That's gonna be my next thing! Thanks again!

[@oratilefundilekunene9815]

[@mercytunde-yara5389]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very explanatory. Kindly explain why the centre back goes down by half inch. I've always thought the centre back needed a rise so while sitting down the skirt doesn't slide down. Thank you for the clarification.

[@nondesalim]

Your explanation is always the best for me 👌👌👌👍👍💖

[@mariiemessam]

[@marisaanthony426]

If you split the back dart in 2, how do the lengths of the back darts change? Thx! 💕🌴🌲

[@ampp3692]

Thank you Kim I understood well your explanation, clear and thorough, I’m subscribing to your channel

[@MARMAXRAF]

That is very nice and easy way to make a skirt.

[@emdiceree]

Thank you for this ☺️ it's really a good help for me as a student ☺️

[@jenniferwright]

Is it possible to adapt this to more of an A line skirt. If it is I would love to see a video of it

[@sylveonandfriends9229]

You make it look so easy!

[@agoroyagoroy517]

For those beginner like me, I'm still confused of measurements huhu..

[@diaynemgbakor3582]

IT might help to know that usually tailors in anglophone countries like Nigeria use inches but here she used cm which accounts for the large numbers she was working with (1inch=2.6cm) hope this might help clear your confusion a bit.

[@yashikasharma2971]

@@diaynemgbakor3582 is it measurement 8?..what measurement is it

[@janicethompson8783]

Thank you. Your directions are easy to follow.

[@ruthjohnson1568]

hello ms. kim thank you very much for detailed explain and understand on how i can draft my own pattern. can i ask some question with regards to neckline how can you determine the measurement of neckline if you going to create heart neckline. thank you and God bless

[@HaleyIvers]

What I'm not understanding from all these tutorials on A-Line skirts is that once you create the dart, it makes the waist smaller. How can we account for this and ensure our waist measurement is correct? Do we just add the half dart measurement to the outside?

[@passid1753]

do you have you add the darts if our planing to add it to a dress?

[@dracula459]

i love it, I learned so much ty..

[@oghaleubaraokefi6527]

nice vid really needed it. And nice explanation. But usually both front and back have the same number of dart that is 2 bye.

[@KimDave]

The number of darts depends on how curvy the person is. Imagine having a big behind and a small waist, you will need to take in more darts at the back for a better fit. But whichever technique works best for you 😊

[@kim4561]

Hi Kim. Just came across your channel and subscribed. Thank you for taking time to do these sewing/pattern video clips. I have one request. How does one get your chalk to draw nicely on your fabric. All the chalks I buy just don't glide over the fabric . Is there a trick to getting chalk to mark smoothly ? 🥰

[@ferozahassim6174]

excellent!!! you are too generous. thank you God Bless

[@melaniesosa7031]

Is the basic skirt pattern suitable for making those modern midi skirts that are worn now?

[@emsen_cute1594]

Hi Kim, i dont have the tool you use the make it rounded by the hips, could i just freehand it, or would that be a bad idea?

[@dijones2441]

It’s looks confusing but watching the video a few time it becomes clear...thank you...I’ve subscribed 😀👏

[@KimDave]

😂I know what you mean. Even when I was practising the pattern I was a little confused myself, but now It makes complete sense to me. Thanks for subscribing ^.^

[@Oleeh-oleeh]

Wow thank you, I'll definitely try this out, it's exactly what I was looking for 😊

[@thandiwebanda3324]

This is just what I need

[@theprofessionaldesignertpd]

interesting, what's the waist to hip ratio you're working with?

[@nikepearseolorunfemi3446]

Thanks so much really appreciate your time. Please can you do a tutorial on how to sew a lining to a dress. Thank You

[@KimDave]

You welcome Nike. I will keep your request in mind for the future 😉

[@empresszan9335]

Wanted to see you cut the material and sew the skirt. I want to learn the skill, I need to learn the skill. Want to make my own clothes.
