Hi Sten, my mom is biggest fan of you, i'am translating your videos to her. she learns a lot of things so your videos are very helpfull for her. She wanted to send you tons of her loves from Turkey. :) Thanks!
Thank you Sten! Very clear tutorial that is easy to follow! I really don't know who can even query such level of proficiency as yours.There's literally no reasons to dislike this video, unless people don't understand that you're showing YOUR own methods of draping and that it is quite possible to make a good drape without draping tape as well.
Wow Sten, I have been struggling how to interpret dart manipulation and draping all my life, only to find the wisdom in your channel. Thanks for the all out video. Your demos will lead all aspiring designers to discover the wisdom in every technique you unselfishly teach. GOD BLESS really.
you are an amazing teacher. very simple and clear. I am an upcoming mens wear minimalist, but I have had a recent interest in womenswear and moulage draping. you video has helped me that most. thank you so much
Hello Sten :) I so much appreciate the information you have shared. Your warmth and genuine attitude make it a pleasure to watch your videos. I wish you continued success!
Thank your for your tutorials, Sten Martin! I've been watching a couple of your videos this morning and already learned alot. Looking forward to your future videos ;-) /Annika
Dear Sten, thank you for making this video.I am learning to sew and this video has taught me a lot. It is a very good video..Very best wishes, Bill..a man who sews.
Sten you are so good at putting across this skill. You always explain in such detail, so we all fully understand why the cloth reacts the way it does. Are you going to do any tutorials on trousers??
Hi Reyna! Thank you for your questions! These are just ordinary darts. I was able to make them longer since I made the dress a bit loose. I look upon my drape as the actual pattern, done in the making. To complete I 1) mark the pins/lines as you can see in the video, 2) then take out the pins, 3) draw more fluid lines, 4) iron the fabric, 5) add allowance, 6) cut away excess fabric - and there you are! I then cut the fabric, place pins where to sew, and sew them to the reversed side. Good luck!
You are so talented and a great teacher! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I am self teaching myself fashion design all on my own, and you are answering so many of my questions through your videos. Thanks a bunch!
just found your little lessons. thank you for making things so simple! you have such a sweet way about you that makes them all very easy to watch so thank you for sharing your knowlege! and helping me win my argument in my head about buying a dress form. :)
Tak, Sten! Jag älskade din video - I stumbled upon your video because I want to take my sewing skills further, and this was a great one to watch. Inspiring and very informative and thorough.
This is a great video! I was getting so frustrated trying to learn to draft flat patterns I think draping is definitely a better way to create patterns thank you so much! I will subscribe
i truly appreciate this tutorial.. where i live, Lock Haven, PA there are no draping/sewing schools. It has been such a delimma trying to learn this art. Also i adore your nervousness it shows how natural and focused you are... thanx
+rell whye - Thank you! So glad I could help! Actually, public appearances never came natural to me, at all. Always made me super nervous! But exchanging knowledge - love that! So we treasure endurance, right? Enjoy!
Just thought your viewers might want to know that you can purchase kits that will allow them to customize a dress form to almost any body shape. I have a form customized to my wife's figure and it has greatly simplified making tops for her. If the fabric hangs well on the form, I can be sure there will be little or no alteration needed in the final garment.
Thank you King0baka! The jacket is actually a dark green leather jacket which I made it as a modern version of a 1950's American pilot uniform. There's actually a full image of it you can see at bit*ly/StenMartinPilotLeatherJacket or bit*ly/StenMartinLeatherJacket. Once again, thanks!
you'te great teacher ... not like other youtubers .. you give more details 👍👍👍👍I like your way of teaching ... can you make some videos on draping collars plz
Dear Sten, I am wanting to make a draped dress out of a stretchy knit. It is better to make the draped pattern in a firm fabric and allow for the stretch or drape in the individual knits fabrics? I cannot find a video on how to properly drape a knit and 4-way stretch or 2-way stretch fabric. Thank you! Love your videos, I have learned so much! Lisa
What kind of darts are those on the front waist since they are longer? How would you sew them or transfer them and mark them? Is there a certain name for the dart so that I can look up how to sew it or can you do a tutorial on how to transfer these darts and markings to the pattern once you are done draping? Thank you, again, a great tutorial!
the black jacket in the back with the zipper around the end, did you make that one, it looks realy amazing can you show it in a future video please, you are the only helpfull persone on youtube thanks!
Is the waist dart you marked on the dress intended to be a double-pointed dart? The reason I ask is that most single darts I have seen end at the seam allowance whereas the one in the video ends in the middle of the fabric.
Hello Sten, thank you very much for your amazing videos. I have a question: how do I translate the draped pattern into my own size? I have a dress form that is different from my size and body shape; how do I make the necessary adjustments to fit me? Thanks very much for your kind generousity
Thank you for your question giftofnature1! The smartest thing is to pad up your dress form to your own size before you start draping. Otherwise, using a simple graduation technique after you're ready will also work just fine. Good luck!
+Alice Unanaowo Splendid idea Alice! Whatever that works! I usually use layers of shoulder pads, raglan ones. Just be sure to pin everything secured in place. You want it to be stable and "pin-able". Right? Good luck! And thanks for commenting!
hi what kind of fabric are you using i see it looks very crisp. you have very informative videos,.. thanks for sharing some of your knowledge and expertise.. very much apreciate it
Thank you for liking my videos Amira Hijab! And thank you for commenting! The fabric I use is called "muslin" and is in fact just a starched unbleached plain weave cotton fabric. Used because it's quite plain, and rather cheap. You can usually get in many different qualities, and mine is a bit of the heavier and somewhat stiffer kind.
Sten Martin Jonsson ok great i will be making some abayas and dresses soon and will post the outfits on youtube please I'd like your evaluation. I will Inbox you .. :)
+Elvira Isaacs - Thank you for watching Elvira! I'm using a locally produced dress stand. The company who made them, Dikana, unfortunately went out of business many years ago.

i would really thankful if u can share mid armhole princess line dress
Very well done tutorials, very clear instructions. Quick question, what type fabric do you use for draping the patterns?
Is the waist dart you marked on the dress intended to be a double-pointed dart? The reason I ask is that most single darts I have seen end at the seam allowance whereas the one in the video ends in the middle of the fabric.
Hello Sten, thank you very much for your amazing videos. I have a question: how do I translate the draped pattern into my own size? I have a dress form that is different from my size and body shape; how do I make the necessary adjustments to fit me? Thanks very much for your kind generousity

always good to fresh up with ur tutorials ....thX
Great tutorial, would it be a good idea if i use a padded bra on the dress form to increase the burst?
