You have the best patterning/sewing videos! Brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to share with us.

[@sampleworks9432]

Thanks for sharing your drafting methodology. I have saved this for a future project, I am making some new blocks because of some body changes so need to get on that first. But I love this dress and believe it will suit my body shape well! 😍 As always, love your videos, your tips and your easy to understand teaching style. You have a fantabulous week too 🙏🏻

[@SewCustom]

Thanks so much Jacqui 💕💕💕 I love, love, love this twist style, I think it has a very flattering shape💕💕💕 good luck with yours once you get your new blocks drafted👌👌👌 thanks again for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated 💕💕💕 you too on the fantabulous week💕💕💕

It is amazing to see the way that your brain works. I loved the finished garment and thought it looked absolutely fab on you and especially the length . I still can't figure out how you obtained all this knowledge in a short period of time? You said I believe you have only been sewing for a short period of time? Have to go watch that video again. Thanks for sharing your process.

[@SewCustom]

Thanks so much Angela 💕👍💕 I think what I enjoy the most about this sewing business is the learning, I am constantly trying to glean as much info as I can about sewing and patterning techniques 👍 have a fab week Angela 💕

[@nolongerinuse9886]

Thanks for this in-depth video, you make it so clear how to draft the twisted dress pattern, its brilliant !

[@SewCustom]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed 💕👍💕

[@karinvitale8292]

Hi! I'm trying to make this work for a maternity dress. I'm a little confused when you start drawing the lines to spread the bodice. What made you draw your first line at the angle you chose as opposed to starting a certain distance from the waist piece? I'm still very new to sewing so sorry is this is obvious!

[@barbarameeker7986]

You explain things” sew “ well. Could you show how you draft your blocks.

[@Isabel-of4wq]

Where can I find the basic pattern for your denim dress video … you have sew many videos!

[@barbarameeker7986]

Wow

[@roejaliks5490]

👍

[@rosac8168]

Susanne can you make a tutorial on the blocking of the patterns I’m dying to make my own clothes but keep getting stuck on starting the bodice

[@jolynnwhite7946]

Excelling creativity ✌🏿️👌🏾😇

I have wanted to make a dress with twist for some time, you explain it very well thankyou

[@SewCustom]

Thanks for the feedback Pauline, it’s greatly appreciated and good luck with it🍀🍀🍀

[@disciplinenotregret]

Hi Susanne, Thank you so much for this drafting tutorial. I can't wait to make this up for work, it's the perfect dress for us going into winter. Can you please provide a link to the tutorial from Diane's youtube channel? I am finding it difficult to find the exact one for the knit bodice :o( Thank you Mel

[@disciplinenotregret]

I think this is the bodice knit block kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKDMloWMdrt5fdU and this is the knit sleeve block kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnXfKh4lJxnacU. Can you please confirm? Thank you. Mel

[@SewCustom]

No problem Mel💕👍💕here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKDMloWMdrt5fdU Good luck with the block and the subsequent twist dress 👗 👍👗

[@michellestrange4716]

do you have how to video's on the creating of the basic knit block.

[@SewCustom]

not on my channel but I can 100% recommend Diane Deziels youtube channel for block making. Her details are linked in my "top block video" 👍

[@janettechapple1782]

How do you know how much extra to add to a pattern via the slash and spread method? Do you drape straight on your body? These are questions I have always wanted the answer to. Thank you.

[@SewCustom]

For me Janette it’s a lot of trial and error. I watched a tonne of KZbin videos trying to understand the technique and then jumped into the patterning. I had to make a good few toiles before I I felt I had technique right. Once that was done i could then get a little creative with the pattern👍. I had a go at draping some time ago which was totally unsuccessful😩

[@paraboo8994]

@@SewCustom since you already had a few goes at slashing and spreading your pattern pieces, I just have to ask: Do you think you'd have to slash wider for a plus size figure? I'll be starting on a similar dress soon and I've never done sthg like that before. My intuition tells me to spread wider apart but then again it could make it look bulkier instead of more flattering 😯

[@annescanapico2181]

Your dress and fabric look so chic. Thanks for sharing.

[@SewCustom]

Thanks Anne💕💕💕

[@tinad8561]

Do the characteristics of your knit fabric (%stretch, etc.) affect how the pattern is drafted?

[@SewCustom]

This patterning technique can be applied to any pattern, the main consideration for me is the block I choose for the starting point. For this one, a two way stretch fabric, the appropriate block is the stretch/knit👍
