Hi, thank you so much for your teachings; it's really helpful. But I just have one problem when I sew my garment and that is the shoulders keep going towards the back even after taking the one inch sloop.can you advice me please, thank you and God bless.

[@anuncolonizedmind6296]

Thank your for making this video. I'm trying to understand the shoulder slant, my shoulders are 12" I divided by 2 & get 6. So do I use 6" or do I use 8" to slant?

[@okwamisibande8306]

Thank you 💕

[@squidwardsquarepants6600]

I have a question. Is the neck width always 3” or does it change depending on the body's measurements?

[@TaylorMadeDesignsSewing]

@@squidwardsquarepants6600 yes it does. Divide your bust by 12 to get your accurate next width and depth

[@newarkgirl55]

I've been trying to teaching myself how to draft through various books and videos off and on over the past few years. I came across your video on KZbin and was glad I decided too watch it. I found your videos very helpful for me because I could not figure how to increase the bust size the way I wanted since i'm a well endow woman. Thank you for your help and you have a subscriber for life❣💯

[@KS-ie6xo]

My daughter really wants to sew with pure draping and intuition and not “complicate” it with math, but you make math less complicated and I think it will help her realize the value. Also, your penmanship is beautiful on the reference paper!

[@suzettejames1728]

This is 2022 and I am just seeing this oh my God thank you so much I did not do well all in Maths so I would buy all the books that I can fine that would help me in my calculations but was never successful at it because I am dyslexic in maths and spelling so I hated school a lot because I just couldn't get it today I am not bad in spelling now but I am always seeking to take the easy way out from drafting my own pattern because I just can't do the maths and you made it so easy for me thank you so much from the bottom of the heart I do love your teachings God bless keep up the good work.

[@MiracleRedman-cz1wj]

I really try to do an intro on camera over and over and I just can’t. It’s so bad. When I take pics my eyes are always half closed. More like an alligator 🐊 eye. I am so conscious of it so I don’t take pic. That pic on the thumbnail was one day while I was talking to soffy I took it and it looked ok . Out the millions I took.
