(UPDATED) Basic Bodice Pattern Tutorial | Beginners sewing video

[@grazeombe9134]

This channel is a gem! A begginer friendly. I'm glad I've found your channel. I've been wanting to learn how to draft a basic bodice pattern but none of the videos I have watched helped me😅. I am often confused by their explanation. This is the first basic bodice pattern tutorial I have watched until the end... I can now make my basic bodice pattern. Thank you so much.

[@sabethpyaso1537]

💯% I like it.

I don't know if you are going to see this comment or not But I want to tell you, I made my engagement dress and then many more gowns by drafting my pattern from this video. I recently lost my pattern and have to make one again, I just rewatched this video and Am again just soo impressed by your explanation, technique, everything. Thanks a lot for your work.

[@lfuentes4098]

I have sewn many years and I really like how clear your pattern tutorials are for beginners. One recommendation I make for beginner pattern makers is try the pattern out on some fabric before adding the side dart or hollowing the back. Sometimes depending how curvy you are, more or less of a dart intake could be needed. Sometimes I’ve noticed women need a dart in the armhole area instead of side seam.

[@DamiDimension]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kellyriddell5014]

Thank you for this. I'm very, very new, and intimidated by darts. I was hoping I could do the waist dart and skip the side dart for now. I'm sure I will have to make several of these bodice blocks before one turns out right, but it's good to hear I can skip these two steps for my first try.

I have watched numerous basic Bodice tutorials on you tube, and NONE has been as thorough and so easily understood as yours! I've learnt so much from this one tutorial! Thank you so much mam.

[@monazebarjadi4309]

If we want to change the neck to v do we need side dart ?

[@gabbrelaprentice3209]

Why add the back arm hole with the front, the reason some people will not understand like me i don't understand, can you please put the back arm hole by it self and the front by it self for me please, thank you

[@vivianewinnerwinnerkit1320]

This is the easiest tutorial to follow.. even our own filipino language can never explain it clearly than this. And so thankful no annoying music in the background. Thank you so much for sharing your God given talent, will follow all your tutorials beginning today❤️❤️

[@mawnyz1]

Thank you. Oh, thank you for using dark background surface to show how you create the pattern drafting so nothing gets hidden & everything is quite clear. You're the only person who uses a dark background to show how to make your drawings stand out so well! All the best you done well.

[@DamiDimension]

It's one of those extra efforts I make to make sure things come out clear to you guys. I'm glad someone appreciate that❤. Thank you!

[@Financial.Freedom_Hub]

Oh mine . I have watched numerous videos and I never understood how to draft a basic bodice. I literally screamed after watching your. Thank you so much!!!!

[@antoinettealfred1219]

Oh, this is so easy to follow. I have been sewing for years but while walking my daughter through the bodice drafting steps, your tutorial topped it off. What was nice is your explanation for why we do what we do. Thanks and blessings from Tobago (W.I)

[@mariaburgos1866]

I have no expirience on making patterns, so I just started to watch your videos. I like the way you explain it very clear.Thank you I will keep on watching you.

[@zahramarhoon6135]

Thank you for this tutorial!! I made my first bodice pattern today, and I'm glad I chose to follow your video. I just sewed a piece of fabric to try out the pattern, and it fit me like a glove! The side and middle darts are well-placed, perfect!

[@MEXTguide_yoyo]

I watched and managed to draft a basic bodice and used it to make a reasonable pencil dress, the dress isn't perfect only because I'm a beginner but your explanation of the process was Soo so helpful. I'm back to give my thanks. I hope more people follow and subscribe to your channel! You are doing God's work for beginners like me

[@folukeolufehintim.d464]

Dami Dimension has done it again. your videos give me joy. I am short of words. I now binge watch all your videos. Kudos. Oluwa a so agbara e dotun. I dont have a sewing machine yet.

I will be here when you hit that 1 million subscriber

[@ofiepidel2067]

I am using this method of drafting the bodice because this is the most comprehensive one I have seen on the internet so far. Thank you.

[@mandisakumalo9136]

I hardly watched a third of your video, and I'm so relieved to finally understand the crisscrossing lines. Somehow I didn't feel overwhelmed. Thank you very much. May God bless you.

[@niajenkins3211]

[@lindseybell879]

Finally made my daughter's basic pattern today after watching 3x. Amazing content and now one of my fav saved sewing tutorial. Thank you!

[@karencompton5926]

Absolutely brilliant! The first basic tutorial that starts with the basics! None of the others showed why they measure down from the top of the paper....I could guess this was bust, waist, hip from shoulder line...but I don't want to guess! You have made it so clear. I now feel confident to have a go...THANK YOU so very much! 😘💐

[@DamiDimension]

I appreciate the feedback, welcome to my channel. New video is dropping today hope you will watch that too:)

Love your tutorial, Im sewing for years and never know how to do the side bust dart so now I understand clearly . Great job for beginners as well

[@clothingalterations.1965]

Dami, you are so precise. As far as I know you have explained and showed every measurement. Marking points and joining dots. Calculations, you have showed so nicely and this is the easiest and best I can recommend to anyone and best in the world. You have a very clean heart to show exactly what you know and how others should learn from your teaching. You are just awesome.. God bless.

[@qeadwsws]

Sis Dami! excellent tutorial, I've just started this sewing adventure and after watching several YT vids, yours was very easy to understand. I now feel confident that I can make an attempt to make my first blouse for my wife. Thanks a million!!

[@efraimang175]

Thank you for this video, I really appreciate. But there is more efficient ways than this. Proportion and has a scientific measurements, method and of course scientific explanation . Not just add 1 inch here. Where that 1 inch came from? How did you get 1 inch? I've seen a lot of tailoring videos specially in pattern making because it is the most important. And I'm not fan of those who don't use L-square. It is the most important tool in pattern making.

[@jazzachu7289]

Thank you demi what a nice description I finally made my own patter .thank you for very clear descriptions

[@marecilchan9627]

Hi.. May I know why there's no stitch allowance for the armhole?

[@xMacBroekx]

Marecil Chan I like to know this too

[@sophrenia]

Patterns are usually drafted without seam allowance. Added to patterns are usually ease. Seam allowances are usually added during fabric cutting. For the armhole, it might be she didn't add it because of the proximity of the front and back armhole would make the lines confusing.

[@srivatsaa.r.9936]

MADAM, You raised the same question as i am namely stitching allowance is not marked for ARM HOLE CURVATURE. i pointed out another draw back of this video which you can see in the comments column of my name UNDER "S" THE FINAL DRAFT HAS TO BE PREPARED ADDING TWO TYPES OF ALLOWANCES:-- 1. Stitching allowances. Which she has described with the exception of yr question. 2. Working allowances (This has to be added to the actual body measurements to enable mivement of hands, bending of waist, hips movement etc) ONLY UPON ADDING THIS ALLOWANCE THE DRAFT IS COMPLETE AND "READY FOR CUTTING" AND NOT OTHERWISE. THE BASIC BODICE IS ADDED WITH A THIRD TYPE OF ALLOWANCE ALSO CALLED DESIGN ALLOWANCE IN CERTAIN TYPE OF DESIGNS. AFTER ADDING THESE ALLOWANCES ABOVE, THE DRAFT IS PREPARED AND READY FOR CUTTING. FOR SIMPLE DRESSES, THE THIRD TYPE NAMELY THE DESIGN CAN BE NEGLECTED AND NOT NEEDED. BUT IN ALL DRAFT, THE WORKING ALLOWANCES ARE ADDED FIRST TO THE BODY MEASUREMENTS AND THEN ONLY THE DRAFT IS READY FOR USE. OTHERWISE NOT. THE STITCHING ALLOWANCES CAN BE ADDED TO THE DRAFT OR CAN BE ADDED LATER TO MARK ON THE CLOTH DIRECTLY,

[@katzentatzen9319]

Thank you so much for this! I am an apple shape and when I made this bodice block, the waist area was just all wrong. I read on another site elsewhere that with larger ladies, the waistline, which is the narrowest part, is usually about 10cm below the bust line at the rib cage. It sounded a little dodge to put the waistline so high but I redrafted the pattern by lifting the waistline and it fit like a glove. I think it does need some back darts though and I'm not sure how to do that yet. I also used your sleeve block pattern and it was 100% and I don't need to do a second draft. This was so incredibly helpful!
