Chris, I am a pear-shape and my “widest” point is actually the top of my thigh, not my hip. Around my rear/hip widest point is 3-4” above my thigh point (which is visually widest when viewed from the front.) How can I account for this in my sloper?

I'm going to give this tutorial a try! For the checklist girlies like myself, here is the written list of measurements he has you take: -Back high point shoulder to waist -Center back neck to waist -Front high point shoulder to waist (over bust) -Center front neck to waist -Bust apex from waist -Between bust apex points -Bust circumference (plus 1.5” ease) -Waist circumference (plus .5” ease) -Across shoulders (from the back) -Shoulder seam length (side of neck to shoulder seam) -Shoulder slope (parallel surface out from neck, measure up from shoulder seam)

Thank you, your pattern draftings are detail are precise. How can some one contact you for more patterns on different garments?

I've been trying to draft my own lapel/collar pattern but no other video makes sense. Thank you so, so much for this! I understand it perfectly.

I think if you said what the measurements were as your drawing them I could follow a little better. I'm not understanding one and a quarter. One and a quarter of what?????

Love your method 🙌🏽 thank you so much it really helped me🩷

That was so educational it made it fun for me to watch. Thank you! I’m subscribed!!! Donna

The simpliest yet equally beautiful sloper I have encountered in years of amateur patternmaking after learning several drafting methods from books and all. Where is this man ??? I need him back please !😢

Hi Mr Christopher, why you have not posted any more videos. I have learned so much by just watching and doing the skirt sloper…we need more videos from you. We rally hope all is well with you…😊

Is there a way to modify a bodice pattern with shoulder and waist darts to one with bust and waist darts? Great video btw!

Wonderful video. I am full figured and I have done a taped bodice and got stuck when cutting darts. I had way more curves than the young woman they demonstrated on. So now I am going to do this. I am hoping i find, sleeve, full bodice, skirt and pants sloper videos on your site. Thank you so very much.

Hope you're doing good sir

Sir , how to determine how much intake of dart has to be in the front and back . Any specific formula ?? Because in your video the dart intake value is told but didn't explained how the value is calculated ?!

Proportionally your elbow level is too low

This is a fantastic tutorial! Thank you for sharing your expertise! This was such an in depth but accessible video!!

I am almost don’t drafting my dream dress by following your tutorials. All that’s left is the sleeves. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you for the time you put into these videos!

Fabulous!!

Love your process! You can “cheat” all you want, as far as I’m concerned ~ Every little thing that helps draft well is Ok by me!

Hi sir can u plz make series on making all these patterns on pear shaped women I would like to share my measurements if u except my request

Your tutorials are always outstanding! Thank you for sharing your professional knowledge with all of us.

This skirt pattern video should be top ranked and most suggested. It is the absolute best !!!!!!

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge in sewing notched lapel collar..God bless..watching here in the Philippines..

Have missed your fabulous tutorials ~ Back again in May 2024 to rewatch the old ones ( yes, they’re that good!)

Hi Chris! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I hope you continue to do more pattern making tutorials. Your videos are very helpful specially to me as a fashion student who struggle with pattern making and fitting. Just saw your videos few weeks ago and tried them. All I can say is thank you. I hope to watch more of your tutorials soon.🤞🏼

Subscribed!!

Thank you, sir. I am a beginner, and I find your videos very informative and thorough.Thank you

Hello, could you upload a video on how to move the arm hole dart to the shoulder slope?

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Just a heads up for others watching !! When drafting the shoulder length , move out /add .25 inches ..(your back shoulders are a little wider ) .. then proceed to the shoulder slope . He mentions subtracting .25 from the shoulder during the second part (front bodice drafting ) .. probably not a huge deal , but I'm a perfectionist 😅

Nice

Oh dear, I must be an idiot. First, I could not figure out top from bottom as it did not match part 1 video, so I did it in reverse, and had the hardest time following. After hours, I've given up. I've got to find an idot proof video to help this old lady make her first bodice.

This is such a great video. So clear, logical and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing this!

I just want to thank you about sharing your knowledge with us for free. I have recently got a dress form and I wanted to make a bodice sloper I tried my usual method but I didn't work well for the dress form! I tried your method and it worked perfectly the only fitting issue I had was that the shoulder line was sits ro the back. Thank you so much!

Thank you, I hope you are well and I hope you would make more videos..

I'm beginner and i'm in a fix at the moment 😢. What's the distance between the CF neck and chest line?

I have prinsses cut blous cating sir ❤❤i am wait 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Thank you.. I just sew it

When drafting this for full bust, the front HSP to waist is significantly longer than the back HSP. How do we account for that?

1:30, 2:22

Good ❤

I am excited to try your method. Thank you for sharing.

At 8:30 did you measure the back armhole with or without the dart?

Thanks for your tutorial. I learn something from your sewing tutorial. Like from Sri Lankan 😊😊😊😊

Brief question please… if my front bodice is designed to be narrower than the back bodice, how do I match and then true the seams? Center them? Narrow near the armscye? Elsewhere?

Great teacher.Very clear.

Great video, Thank you. Xx

You are the man

Your tutorial is best! Will you do a pants sloper?

As a pattern maker of 50 yrs - - this tutorial is precise & excellent in drafting ❤
