Nick, if you are my fashion school teacher I wouldn't miss a lesson. Thank you for sharing. GOD bless you 🙏 .

[@kendal-b9c]

I believe that I just found my teacher. Nick really makes learning fashion design look easy and fun. I am glue to all his videos. I can't wait to try his methods and advise. I am a beginner and I just purchase a dress form. I learn by observing others. I am so happy that he has taken his time to share his knowledge with others. I only wish to know how can he draw does lines so straight? I am having trouble drawing the perfect sem line. Thank you, Nick, for sharing your knowledge and tutorials.

[@orionlleyessa1306]

Rulers. There are metal, and clear plastic rulers you can use to get strsight lines... is this what you mean?

[@DMcChilders]

You are so addicting to watch. I don't even know how to sew and yet watching you makes me feel like I can do it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you are awesome!

[@melinda3925]

Oh wow... I am so incredibly tempted to do this as a light blue blouse with spaghetti straps. That dress is absolutely gorgeous.

[@desirebaker5775]

I am on a total binge watching session of your videos! You make draping actually understandable! For me this means goodbye store bought patterns, and hello gorgeous designed clothes! I can’t wait to get my dress form and start playing around with the ideas in my head!

Thank you so much for posting this video! I wanted to drape a pleated overlay for a strapless bodice, but I haven't had draping yet. Your video enabled me to understand the basics and get the job done. In addition, you are very entertaining! I ordered your book to learn more about you. Have you ever considering releasing your book in audio format? I would love to hear your story in your voice during my daily commute to fashion design school. You are awesome! Thanks for releasing amazing content!

[@katiitude6032]

Hi Nick, I just found your videos today. It is quite impressive the way you teach. I just have one question, do we cut the folds on the bias from side seam to center back waist. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@yasmineboulaares8855]

Love your teaching way 😍

[@anniewhomever7653]

When I watch you, you're working on small dress forms. You tell us what size we should cut the muslin should we adjust it according to a larger size, if so how much for plus size such as for a size 20 plus? Thank you
