Thank you your instructions are so clear and the demonstration was fantastic!!! I am a newbie but catching on quickly but your video helped me to understand the neckline and how the front and back relate to each other. So much more........thank you!!!
Wow! You explain so clearly what you are doing and why, you make something that at first seems difficult so simple.... amazing. Thank you so much for being generous with your time and knowledge, I am very grateful and appreciative. Bless you 💐💗
Your tutorial was very educational and I would like to thank you very much. I will try your technics. I have been trying to do a boat neck collar just like the one which is in your video. Thanks again. Thumb up!!
Thank you so much for that! I have a really simple shift dress pattern that I like to sew at least once every summer but I never quite successfully managed to change the neckline. Now I have some beautiful coral Javanaise at home at it's totally going to get a new neckline ☺ Thank you for your great videos ❤
Hi Diane can you pls show how you made the cardboard tool when measuring your bust circle. I went through your videos and can't find instructions on how to do that.
Thank you for this video! It is very educational. I would like you to comment or post a video recommending techniques to avoid or reduce the instances when the front neckline have a gaping. . Also, and not related to this particular video, I LOVE the garment on the mannequin and would love to see a video with the construction of such collar.
Also, about the collar I did the video here Wide shawl collar th-cam.com/video/nKITL61UT8EW/w-d-xo.htmlide shawl collar part2 th-cam.com/video/K-ZPf6afyDkD/w-d-xo.htmliane
@@DianeDezieltoolfully Thank you Diane. I will look for that video. I've been following you for some time now. You are amazing! I love your techniques, the quality and your styles. I have made some of them with good results. I appreciate your postings and always look forward for the notifications. Though hardly access Facebook. Thanks again!
Thank you Diane, this video was a treat! I have a question for you, there is no video or blog posts on the subject of making a French seams sleeve, is that something you would be willing to show us? I love using French seams, but it gets tricky with a set in sleeve. Thank you.
Hello Jessica, I understand your concern, french seam is pretty hard to do in curve line, like for a set in sleeve that have curve lines and ease, some time it's not even possible, so frequently, there is more than only one seam allowance finishing in the garment. If you still want to try an armhole, your french seam must be tiny, 1st seam 3mm or 1/8 inch (I recommend you overlock) so the seam is even, and close. Than the 2nd seam 4mm or 3/16. Diane
Hello Marwasameer1, To do a turtleneck with the basic block bodice, first it depend if you have an opening. If not, you must do the neck big enough to go over the head. Maybe 2.5 cm center front 3cm at shoulder and 1 cm at center back, than I would try the top part. If you have an opening, from the basic neck, you don't need to enlarge much maybe 1cm center front 1.5 at shoulder and 5mm at center back, but it also depend on the style. Diane
@@DianeDezieltoolfully I will be making a dress and I will attach a zipper at the center back so I don't need to worry about it fitting the head. Where exactly would I add the 1 cm at center front? Is it to the circumference of the neckline or to the height of the neckline? And the 1.5 cm at the shoulder? Thank you for your generous help and information.
What alterations would you do for a v neck and v back bodice. As the shoulders fall off in my muslin toile what have I done wrong 🤔 your teaching is perfect 🤗
Hello Wendy, Yes V neck in back & front will "always" fall, unless it's a fitted knit, you did nothing wrong. we usually add at least one little strap in the back like this. unikwe.com/collections/tops/products/every-memory-cross-back-top Diane
Hello Nana, If you have an apparent zipper, you must first remove parallel do center front or back 1/2 the width of you zipper, than add your normal seam allowance at the neck and the width of the zipper tape at the center front or back. If the zipper is not apparent, than we usually put 2 cm at center back or front, and you must do a jug for this seam allowance, at the top part. Diane
Hello Wendy, I really have to make a video for a camisole For now, from your t-shirt bloc; 1-you could raise the under arm points about 1 cm 2-and yes you could use the sweetheart neck line, but I would lower it a bit 1 to 2 cm, because it's stretch fabric 3-and from the 2 points of the sweetheart neck line, connect to the 1/2 shoulder 4- the back is usually straight from one under arm point to the other 5- for the straps, measure from the point of the sweetheart neck line to the 1/2 shoulder and continue the back until the straight line of the back bodice (4) Diane
Hello ma'am, thank you again for this tutorial. I had an error on a v neckline I did. Just as you explained I drew a straight line through and truly the neck is falling outward. How can I correct this error now as the garment is fully sewn?
Hello Oyinkansola Kusamotu If you are patient, you could un sew the neck and cuve a bit before re sewing it. Now that you know, you see the little mistake, but most people they don't notice. Diane

Hello diane do we have to make any changes at the armhole for drafting a deep back neck depth?
Is it possible to change halter neckline to straps???
Good morning
thank you very much. I want to ask how we will calculate the Diameter of the circle. thank you very much.@@@
Hello Sou,
for a B cup, the radius is about 7.5 cm so the diameter 15 cm. Than add or remove 5mm to the radius for each cup size.
Diane
Thank you so much Diane. Do you always have seam allowance at 1cm all around the pattern? Thanks.
I was wondering what I would need to do to make a turtleneck with the basic block bodice.
Hello Marwasameer1,
To do a turtleneck with the basic block bodice, first it depend if you have an opening.
If not, you must do the neck big enough to go over the head. Maybe 2.5 cm center front 3cm at shoulder and 1 cm at center back, than I would try the top part.

Hello! Where did you get the white paper you were showing in this video?
Is there no need to remove some excess at the enlarged neck to avoid gaping?
I love your work

Thanks for sharing . How do you add seam allowance to a v neckline that is cut in two. Thanks.
Hello Nana,
Is it a cut in the center front? and could it be a self fold facing?
Diane
It is a cut to the center front.. With a zipper. Thank you
@@DianeDezieltoolfully it could be an opening at the centre front or back and it has a zipper inserted.
Hello Nana,
If you have an apparent zipper, you must first remove parallel do center front or back 1/2 the width of you zipper, than add your normal seam allowance at the neck and the width of the zipper tape at the center front or back.
If the zipper is not apparent, than we usually put 2 cm at center back or front, and you must do a jug for this seam allowance, at the top part.

Diane thanks for all your amazing tutorials .... can I clarify on the v neck version did you remove the front shoulder dart before hand? Jayne x
Yes. The pivot dart video shows how to eliminate the shoulder dart
Thanks for your efforts
Thank you!
amazing helped me so much thank you new subscriber!!!!!
Diane would you use the sweetheart neckline as starting shape for a strappy/camisole top ???
Hello Wendy,
I really have to make a video for a camisole
For now, from your t-shirt bloc;
1-you could raise the under arm points about 1 cm
2-and yes you could use the sweetheart neck line, but I would lower it a bit 1 to 2 cm, because it's stretch fabric
3-and from the 2 points of the sweetheart neck line, connect to the 1/2 shoulder
4- the back is usually straight from one under arm point to the other
5- for the straps, measure from the point of the sweetheart neck line to the 1/2 shoulder and continue the back until the straight line of the back bodice (4)
Diane
Amazing thanks very much

Thank you Diane for your wonderful tutorials, they are very much appreciated 😊
If I may ask a question...does it matter if the neckline is not necessarily at a 90 degree angle where it crosses the shoulder line?
Hello Fullbobbin,
It doesn't matter, it just have to be a nice continuous line.
