Patterning from a Basic Drape

[@virtuousblackqueen3368]

You ❤️ make things so simple you cut through the fluff

[@nnekaanekwe5567]

This is probably the most comprehensive tutorial I’ve ever seen. You explain everything so well, in detail and with a bit of humor. Bravo!

[@TheFabgirl36]

Finding your channel was probably one of the best things that happened to me. I learned so much from binge watching your videos and putting them into practice

[@ninfagarcia2173]

I can't t skip your video everyday! Fantastic! Ty ty ty!

[@deannemcewen9663]

Wow Nick, you explain things so well. I am learning so much from your videos. Thank you ten fold

[@OoniCrafts]

You're such an inspiration Nick, I could never wrap my head around patterns but your draping methods are compelling me to buy a mannequin and get drafting. Thank you! Love from England xx

[@carmenfalcon7911]

You are the best. I love your sweet way of teaching. I wish you the best so keep doing more videos. Every i learn more thanks to you🏆🙏🙏🏅

[@trinisweething]

Thank you !! I've been sewing free handed for a while now but I want to focus on doing it properly and your videos are very helpful 😊.

[@buckeyepelican]

Hello, Nick. Thank you - I'm very grateful for your instructional videos. I'm a very basic kind of seamstress - minor clothing repair, hemming, etc., with very little experience in garment-making, which I have found to be a bit intimidating. Your instructions have broken the process down into what seem to be manageable steps, and I am inspired to attempt to create my own dresses. Thank you! Please wish me luck! Trish

[@randahayes1153]

An Excellent teacher. You provide all the details in an easy to understand way. Thanks Nick!

[@anupriyathapar8108]

[@amymelicor]

Yes he is...

[@FiveCentDenoms]

You are everything!!! I was so confused about pattern making, but now I get it. 😊 Thank you.

[@roxannereyna6836]

Love all your videos! Wish I was one of your students

[@shanntarra]

I didn't get a chance to learn draping when I was doing pattern classes. This is helping me so much. I have so many designs I want to make but I just couldn't do it with the flat pattern technique.

[@patbrown8687]

Love Love your demonstration in how to make a pattern. You are very clear appreciate the step by step

[@maps4218]

Thank you! This is really helpful. I'm gonna make my own dress, base on your tutorial. I hope it success. Thanks again!! 👍

[@RunaSaeunn]

I am learning so much from this video :)

[@FantomUp]

Nick, you have a true gift, not just as a fashion designer, but also with the art of teaching. Not many can explain complex topics in a manner that's easily understood. Your delightful and ingenius insertion of humor is a big part of that teaching gift and really helps others remember your lectures/demonstrations. As an Arkansan, I love when your southern accent/slang breaks through. You make learning an absolute blast! ❤

[@amyguiquing4205]

WOW ! It helps me a lot and It feels like Im attending a fashions school! Thanksss

[@meditandoconchawa8333]

I LOVE, love your videos Nick, I am learning so much! Thank you!!

[@charlestaylor5741]

i am honored to leave the first comment on nicks video

[@anidaralopez5676]

You are very giving with your knowledge. I'm an old lady now, but as a young girl I dreamed of being a fashion designer (well, once I realized I was never going to be a dancer on the Red Skelton show.....lol.) College of any type was pretty much out of reach, so my sewing was limited to the Vogue patterns I could buy. Now I enjoy sewing clothes for my granddaughter and dolls. To have the knowledge of how to transfer an idea to a drape and then to a pattern is something I've hungered for for many years. Thank you for your kindness in sharing.

[@lerougenoir]

Hi nick! Ur videos are so great, but can you create a video on draping and patternmaking the back please! I’m honing my technical skills are your videos are amazing!!

[@karid.4371]

so good. damn ive seriously watched a million tutorials and finding any good draping ones is impossible. thnk u. ur funny as hell.

[@sheikhdiya6101]

I get a lot information from your video

[@gmaflor]

I love this videos. Just subscribed. Only one issue, the background music is very loud and distracting. Many of us seamstress are not young anymore and have more difficulty concentrating. TY

[@angelominlondalagan3522]

Hello Sir Nick, Just wanna ask if you have a video for a basic bodice/sloper pattern making in a pattern paper step by step? :) newbie here. Thankyou sir! 😊

[@taniaemu]

I looooove your teaching..thank you so much

[@bloodbrothers1779]

He's cute and good teacher. The type that makes u wanna learn from him.

[@iamamarie]

Can your next video be on how to grade a pattern to your size

[@livinglifeontrack]

Love your teachings!!!!!! So informative!

[@aizahzubair3877]

Just excellent

[@laymad9273]

from Morocco, thank's very much, it's very very unteresting but the sound of the music don't help me to concentrate on what you say

[@daveandpamkeith6847]

Very helpful, thank you. I noticed that you cut out the dart instead of just folding the fabric. Is that to minimize excess fabric?

[@fezzehbabaki1054]

Thank you so much🌷🌹🌹

[@mbalik1]

Thank you for this channel. I am new to the world of fashion and you make everything seem so effortless ❤ #southafricalovesyou

"You'll have an ouchy moment"😂

[@raquelbrand1323]

Hi! I love your enthusiasm! Thank you for making these videos! At 29 years, life for me is taking a new direction. I have always enjoyed sewing, it's my dream to learn to draft patterns and create beautiful dresses and help others do it too. We'll see where it goes! Your videos are fantastic! Thanks again!

[@jojoremeny]

Your waist dart is way too big !!! It would distort the shape of the bodice !!!. You have 3 main suppression points on the body : front ,side seam and back ..When you are shaping the bodice or pattern you use these areas to dart out the excess measures to shape your body,but you do not equally suppress on these areas. . Many pattern cutters disagree which areas take the most suppression. I use the back dart as the most to take out because of the spine,we are more curved and can take out the most.Next is side seam .The front dart position is smallest area for suppression . You don't need to use tape as it could rip the paper ,use pins. You don't need to use commercial pattern paper ,too expensive,use Kraft paper instead .. You don't need to use Muslim or Calico to drape !! Just buy cheap cotton /poly /cotton fabric that's a good weight Also you need to right angle your centre front neck seam and back neck seam a quarter of an inch so it's straight across otherwise you will get a dip .. I'm a professional fashion designer and Tailor in England and I will be uploading the real easy way of cutting patterns and making dresses and tailored suits. www.jojoremeny.com

[@iamsomeone8266]

OK that is so helpful tysm Can you tell us how to make a drape completely from starch

[@hollygreen8967]

What kind of ruler did you use? Not the curved one but the one straight transparent one ?

[@royahmariechannel]

Hi Nick! First I am a hobbyist, not a professional or a student (but I bought your book anyway) so please pardon my questions if they seem rudimentary. I noticed in this basic bodice pattern there was no calculation for wear ease. Is that because it was done on a dress form (which for the purpose of the question let's assume the measurements are an exact match to the wearer)? If working with woven (not bias cut), should ease be added? How? Sounds like a video to me... ;-)

[@ninid8132]

Bahaha "this can be dangerous" "I'm gonna cut you" rofl! Love you Nick!

[@patriciakuadey1580]

I'm just now finding your videos and I enjoy them! Could you do one on drafting a pattern on paper with just measurements? Thanks!

[@joycekama4124]

I adore you! You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks to you I now know how to grade patterns and. I had a pattern class in pattern making but I could not understand.

[@teejonesactie]

I love this series....thanks so much!!!! You're empowering me!!!! I just purchased my first real dress form!!!

[@Cyndel2006]

thank you. I've been "cloning" my clothes to make new patterns. I'm so glad to learn the pro way!

[@TheFabgirl36]

Cyndel2006 I've been doing the same thank god for his dress form video

[@tutsecret499]

How do you make this pink dress with wrinkle drape next to you?

[@majakolonja4266]

I like that you show us the materials which you have used since the beginning of your fashion journey. You get excited about it and it shows how proud you are to have them :)

[@Rebekahk94]

You're so fabulous. I love it.

[@neisham6499]

Does anyone know what type of scissors those are. I would like to purchase those particular scissors in that brand for pattern scissors.

[@tiffenydecoteau4037]

Hi Nick great video! I watched the previous video of draping a basic bodice. Problem is I don't have a dress form, I have a torso mannequin. DO you think it would work? Of course it's not pin-able but maybe i can use tape? Thanks!

[@GirlArmy21]

I watched your other video on draping and then you used the cloth....I wasn't understanding why you had used it...then this video....OMG...lifechanging. I can use this to make my own patterns/draping over my dressmaker doll......hello honey. Signed, new to sewing. XO fm Canada.

[@annenorth8553]

I enjoy your videos Nick, thank you, Would you consider doing a video on how to make a bodice sloper or bodice block please?

[@hamzamansooor]

Man you are awesome! Love from Pakistan, Peshawar ❤️

[@2LIVCREATE]

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. I L❤ve your Nick Tricks! 👌😊

[@gailhardock6378]

Hi Nick.....absolutely love, love your videos. I have a question about the darts (and I hope it is not a silly one as I am new to this). Why do you add a 1/2 inch seam allowance to the darts? Why would you not stitch on your first marked line? I can understand why you need seam allowances everywhere else but this one baffles me. Ooops ok should have watched it right to the end (me bad). I see you are taking the bulk out of the middle and then you actually are stitching on the orginal line as you have that 1/2" seam allowance which allows that. So do you always trim out the middle of your darts and if so why?

[@rebeccamiller9558]

Kim Nguyen agree

[@bernadettecarson6578]

I luvvv your videos. Thank you. But could you turn off the music or at least play something a little more calming. The quick beat gets me on edge lol.

[@debzamot5291]

Fabulous"

[@primewavez]

Your video is very informative But background music is very irritating. You are a teacher here So any teacher not used music in class room.

[@enea6490]

Where have you been my whole life?? I love you! Thank you for this!!!

[@W59421]

I understand the front is folded in half. However, what about the back? How do you make that part?

[@nievespereda8486]

Nice and funny even I’m Spanish I’m understanding great thank a lots

How do I transfer the pattern to the fabric without cutting it when I get all the pins done?

[@DrStephanieMillerWilliams]

Nick, can this pattern be used for different sizes??

[@kolawoleesther853]

your are a very good tutor.... kudos

[@intuitivejunkietarot5861]

I'm a huge fan and new to the sewing techniques, question about darts ... are they needed in every garment and if I want to not add them I just tape or pin like you did ?

[@FarmanKhan-k8e]

The background music is so loud actually

[@momzilla9491]

When I was little, I mastered Cottenelle and Tape masterpieces for my Barbie Doll. Then I pretty much --- grew into that figure, where ready made garments always had to be professionally altered. Now I am recovering from a major ankle surgery, have had the time, and been following most every seamstress here on KZbin, learning how to sew. I know have the know how, but no experience sewing. I haven't even ran a seam on the sewing machine I just bought! Nick, I am so enjoying your lessons! The magic? You are THE ONLY ONE here on KZbin to show us how to transfer the drape bodice onto paper! Really! You must know how exciting this is for me? You are also the only one who showed us how to draw a Crochie. Thank you for being a superbly detailed teacher! Challenge? Could you design and walk us through a Fashion Dress with side inserts (or multiple side inserts) that really emphasis the waist? Have a wonderful day and Thanksgiving!

[@cadernodemoda]

Your videos are great! But you could improve them by changing or eliminating this permanent "music".... Success!

[@JM-bc7mp]

I wish u were my teacher back in fashion school 😩

[@nvaranavage]

What is the purpose of keeping the scissors in contact with the table for? And by the way, I love your videos. You make it very easy and understandable. Out of curiousity, would you do a video of how to read and follow directions in a written pattern?! Many of the terms and how they are written are so confusing to me. And I can't wait to see you do the video of how to copy a manufactured garment. I have several tops and bottoms that are no longer made that I would like to recreate.

[@janeyrevanescence12]

When you said "torpedo boobs" and mentioned Madonna's cone bra....I was actually thinking of Sofia Varga's bra in "Machette Kills"

[@katiekeally2118]

I just love you! You are teaching me so much and I wish I could give you a hug!!! My daughter and I donate our time and money to sew prom dresses to families in need in a very small town in Western Pennsylvania. We've been to the Mood Fabric shop in NYC twice and bumped into Project Runway's Helen both times!!! Wish we could see you there next time we go! Thank you Nic for all you do.

[@carlineparis9467]

Hi Nick can you make a video on how to drape a coat

[@luzalvarez4154]

Thanks for your videos; You are a true teacher and I love your way of explaining and your charisma. I need to create a basic pattern for a client and her measurements do not match those of my manikin. Do you have any tutorial where you show the technique to create the pattern without the help of the maniqui?

[@sophieclarke02]

Loving your videos Nick! So informative and clear. The background music is killing me though... agh! 🙉 you don’t need it!
