[@Squirrely_Squirrel]

Hello! I just stumbled on your videos and love the energy and attitude in your videos! I’m wondering why you are using a sharper to do all your marking... is it for the benefit of showing us what you’re doing? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@sadburai1]

yes, he mentioned that a few times in his videos. You cannot see a pencil in the video, but that's what you should use normally. Especially if it's not your own dress form that you could accidently mark with a sharpie.

[@patriciaromero145]

Beautiful! You are awesome!!

[@svlysdr.]

Nick is so very cute 😍

[@Blankybsen]

Nick could I ask you a question please if you were to be asked to make the pattern of a dress how much do you charge only for the pattern.

[@KaysFantasy]

Beautiful design, Nick. 😍 Reminds me of my prom dress I had few years back. Lol

[@aaryanshadev8574]

Sirens Fantasy hi

[@KaysFantasy]

Aaryan Shadev Hi

[@ariellerock9607]

Nick, I don't have a mannequin yet so I do flat patterns when I make a deep v in the front or back I always make a dart of about 2-3cm and close it in the neckline so it would sit without gaping and cut it with the grainline going straight up like you said not to do ,would cutting it with the neckline as the same direction as the grainline eliminate the gaping without having to make a dart and close it out like I usually do?

[@tootsieroll2065]

I wish u were my uncle 😭

[@lisica8458]

Me too!

[@andrewneel6703]

Hi I’m totally new on making dresses. My question is how do you sew once you’ve draped on the dressmaker dummy? Would be nice to see how you do it. Thanks :) love your channel

[@dsstudio76]

ANDREW NEEL once the draping is done you need to transfer to the paper. Afterwards we cut on the real fabric using this paper pattern. And finally the pieces are cut to sew! I hope I could cleared it out for you. ☺️👗✂️

[@andrewneel6703]

Dani Carvalho hi Dani. Thanks for your reply. But once you cut the real fabric how do you know where are the draped parts? Do you copy the marks from the paper? Sorry. Being new can be a mess on the first try :)

[@biendhya]
