Making Pattern: Pattern Drafting (EN)

[@anoushkaalden3140]

Most helpful Clo video I've seen so far! Thank you for saying the hot keys- for me as a beginner this is crucial.

[@CLO3D]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nvalenta7]

Thanks for this video. If the beginner completes this lesson completely, you can learn and understand the work of many functions of the program.

[@CLO3D]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tinalisapattern]

Thank you for this tutorial. I appreciate the tipps you gave to improve my workflow, however one thing really disturbed me. I was always waiting for you to still change that. A sleeve with a mirrored cap will never fit well and you could easily tell on the avatar the poor fit of it . The cap of the sleeve MUST be different front and back.

[@Melzo123]

Exactly my thoughts!!

[@CLO3D]

Once you remove the linked editing you can edit the pattern piece as you see fit.

[@tinalisapattern]

@@CLO3D I am aware of that. But for people not as experienced in pattern making, this appears to be the correct way to construct a sleeve, which it is not.

[@millyl5302]

lots of pattern making tutorial have the same technical issues . The front and the back sleeve caps use the same cutting in tight and fitted garment will cause the arm movement troubles, not only about the fit and look.

[@danglejangles1999]

Excellent, Techniques on how to adjust and fit pre existing patterns in CLO would also be awesome. Example would be fitting a simplicity pattern to your body measurements.

[@CLO3D]

If the garment is constructed in CLO you can use Auto Grading

[@sanatanrajadi4538]

great one , just love how easy to express more details on this vedio.

[@CLO3D]

Thank you so much 😀

[@__chel_______]

Nice explanation! But the 2D workflow on clo3D could be much more dynamic if it were possible to customize some shortcuts, such as extend/trim, cut/sew, align.

First I thank you and this 3d CLO pattern Making video very Useful.

[@fashoon]

15:16 isn't the fabric that's on the figure the center front shoulder line, and the shoulder line of the newly cut piece is the back? Here you say its the "newly cut center front piece."

[@CLO3D]

The piece was cut from the Front (so newly cut from there)

[@leticiavieiradm]

Thank you so much. It was a a wonderful video.😄😄😄

[@CLO3D]

You're welcome 😊

[@carlossanjuan.collection]

This tutorial would be much better if you take the same kind of measurements that there are at the Avatar Editor Chart because it is really difficult to know exactly where to take them directly from the Avatar.

[@CLO3D]

If you turn on the avatar measurements in the 3D Toggle Menu you can select those measurements and view the sizing.

[@CLO3D]

You must have a Segment Point to Add Dart. Use the Add Point/Split Line Tool.

[@maopham9509]

Thanks for your sharing.

[@CLO3D]

Thanks for watching!

[@joylu6380]

should you add ease to the patterns? or should they be perfectly fitted to the avatar?

[@CLO3D]

You should make the patterns and fit the them to the avatar. Do not account for ease.

[@martinalima251]

Hi. Amazing tutorial. However I am stuck at 12:59. How do I drag and right click at the same time...?

[@CLO3D]

It is a bit unorthodox... Simply keep the Left Click held down and when you want to stop, tap the Right Click. you will then get the precision dialogue box.

[@CBzuki]

It is a super helpfull tutorial! I'm really starting to understand the programm now. There is something I don't understand though, in the tutorial the darts don't get "points", where as when I do it i have baseline and patternpoints, I have to select the right one before adjusting the darts. It is not only me that has this problem, a colleague of mine has it as well, does anyone know what setting is wrong or what we are doing wrong?

[@CLO3D]

If you create a dart by right-clicking on a Segment Point, you can go back to edit the dart by right-clicking on one side of the dart.

[@nalelirugege3216]

What are prerequisite learnings for pattern making like how to and where to take dimensions from the human body or dress??

[@CLO3D]

Hi M Usman. Many people who use CLO have a background from the apparel industry. A great book to start learning patternmaking and where these measurements come from is called Pattern Making for Fashion Design

[@katherineespinoza6870]

Hi, could please explain if unfold function is also useful for the front bodice? is the merge one that you used a better option because you can maintain the symmetry when applying changes to pattern and with unfold you loose this possibility or what is your recommendation? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

[@CLO3D]

You could really use either. It's your preference. If you make a symmetric copy with sewing you could even just merge the centerline without sewing. I personally prefer to sew, then merge incase I want to make major changes.

[@Krishnalove-143]

Thank you very much

[@CLO3D]

You are welcome

[@maiphuongnguyen5471]

Hello! Could you please explain the part at 13:15? What did you see in the pattern that makes you realize "there's a quarter inch distance at the waist compared to 1/8 at the across back"? And why do we need to move the lines in the directions that you did? Thank you!

[@CLO3D]

The designer in this video has experience drafting patterns in real life. Her suggested changes are based on what she sees in the pattern and the shape of the avatar. This edits will insure a proper fit of this pattern to this avatar.

[@troymunsey6814]

@@CLO3D Yes, I have this same question. This response does not clarify at all. What exactly is the designer basing these measurements from?

[@cristinams9927]

Very good Video! But i Need translation to see. And have some questions: how can I out my own measures? To make my own cloth. Thank you

KZbin will translate to the language of choice. Create your own pattern by substituting your own measurements.

[@szu3560]

13:15 I don't understand why we need to adjust the points on back after making the initial 1/8" alterations?

[@CLO3D]

The Points are being added when they Extend the Internal Lines. Then after the narrator moves them slightly the adjust the curvature since the CB seam is no longer straight and you do not want the area with the Segment Points to actually be pointed

[@szu3560]

@@CLO3D where I’m confused is why she made the 1/8” and 1/4” to the shoulder back and centre back. Sorry for the silly questions, I’m in the process of learning pattern making and want to make sure I understand everything

[@FGIOIA-vu1ff]

Isn't possible to use 3D in another time, I mean after you design the pattern? Firstly as a patternmaker i would draw the pattern and then i'll trace out the pieces, instead in clo i m forced to start from a "piece of fabric" and lines could not be used freely to make a proper grid (as lectra modaris) or maybe I'm missing something?

[@CLO3D]

Hi. Some users like creating a large fabric Square (acts like a piece of paper) and then using Internal Lines to draft out the pattern piece. Many users will also add a Grid as a graphic for reference measurements

[@MandarinReverie]

this video was quite helpful but when it comes to adding the pattern, my pattern is curved and not straight

[@CLO3D]

Upon import if the pattern is off you either have to edit it or go back and export it and check the settings you are using.

The shape of your sleeve cap depends on the garment you are creating. There is not one single answer for a sleeve cap.

[@MultiMatteh]

across back from hps i don't get as is it not going wrong way on pattern so is not real measurement ? or am I wrong

okay gonna try it thanks@@CLO3D

[@ailisih2857]

why do you add Dart Depth and Dart position from CF together?

I don't know if this is what you mean, but you can do something similar by using 3D pen on the avatar and flatten the pattern. But pattern drafting is essential to fit real people, and make your work look professional, i find.
