Thank you jin I've learned new thing from you today. Thank you for the detail and instructions now i have a clear understanding. It's great when people like you exist because it helps us to see our mistakes and improve our skills. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And hugs thank you. God bless you
Hello thanks for your videos. I’m totally starting from scratch on my sewing journey. Do you have any recommendations where I should start dirt before I dive into pattern making because I don’t fully understand how to use my sewing machine besides sewing in a straight stitch. But I’m learning through the manual first

While drafting a wide square neck from the basic bodice, where should i place the neck width point on the shoulder line, So that the shoulder straps doesn't droop?? Also thank you for this tutorial.❤️
Hello Jin, I successfully made a bodice using your instructions. It gives a nice fit. What should I do? My armhole seems a bit tighter. I made use of 8 because I wanted a close fit. Looks nice on my Ankara fabric, but doesn’t feel very comfortable
@jessicainnocent2519 You mean 8 inches? You said "tight", so see where need to be increase. Is it armhole depth? Or the curve should be scooped deeper? Evaluate where to increase and alter the pattern accordingly.
Hello, Jin I hope you're good. I have a question concerning the darts on the waist: I understand how you got the difference of 4" but what I don't understand is how you distributed/took in along the waist and darts. You demonstrated two methods on how you can take in the waist and darts but when I calculated these figures they were over 4" which was the difference between the chest & waist. Please explain how you got these figures used in your example, and how are they distributed along the waist. I hope I'm sense 🙈
If the difference between the chest and waist is 10”, you need to take out 5” because it’s half of the body. Then I’d take out 1.5” at the side seam, 1.75” at the front dart, and 1.25” at the back dart, and 0.5” at the center back. This is not the fixed rule. The idea is that the front dart would be the biggest for the bust shape. You can take out 0.5” maximum at the center back. Then the back dart will be the smallest. Hope it makes sense.
Hi Jin. I'm not at the level where I want to self draft yet, but I enjoy your videos. Dumb question: Does this bodice block work for knit? As I understand, knit bodice block is for slim-fitting clothes. If one makes loose-fitting t-shirts and sweaters, then they can use this basic bodice block?
Hi, if you are making a pretty fitted bodice block for any kind of woven tops, then I would say YES. And you can transfer or remove when you draft design patterns. But if you're making loose fit blouse bodice block, you don’t have to.
Hello miss. Can we cut and close a dart by paper block, after draw a pattern to clothes by use a block if don't stitch this shoulder dart to dress no? Is it correct?🤔
@@PatternStudio101which means we have to minus the 1/2 “ taken for the shoulder dart and from the 3/8” below, have to take 1/2” inside to shape the Armhole curve, right? Am gonna try your Bodice block 👍
There are many types of basic bodies block, no dart bodies, waist dart bodies, waist and bust dart bodies and the bodies you drafted - with waist, bust and shoulder dart, can you clarify where we can use each of them. Its very confusing for me.
You can make bodice blocks without darts only for knit fabric. Other than that you need darts for the shape. It doesn’t matter where the darts are. You can choose the one easier for you. And you can transfer the darts as your design.
@@kinnyjohnston1805 If you want to have a shape, yes you need a dart. If you don’t want to have a dart, then accept a little bit of excess fabric around underarm. That would be okay because it’s stretchy fabric.
Hello Jin, firstly, I would like to thank you for sharing your wisdom. I would like to ask: where all those formulas came from? I am trying to understand the drafting of patterns and this question is following me all the time and I just can not find the answer. And I am even more confused because almost everyone has different formulas for pattern drafting. Thank you very much for your help.
Hi, first of all, there's no perfect formula that exists. There are a lot of different formulas for different fabrics, different fits, and different designs. But you still need some kind of starting point. Formulas are for just starting point if you have no idea where to start. And it's important to understand where those ideas are from. Then you will get better understanding with practice. Thank you!
@@PatternStudio101 I really would like to understand pattern drafting and fitting to exact body. What would you recomend to do? Is there any possibility to learn it from some book or someting... like theorethical way or it is thing of practise? Because I was trying to draft pattern, than cut it out of fabric, then stitch it, try it on, didnt fit so fix some mistakes, stitch it again, try it on, didnt fit and do this all over again and again. And it was kind of frustating for me and I was wondering if there is not some advise, some rules that when you do it it will work. Because after all those hundreds of years of people sewing and drafting patterns I just dont believe that pattern drafting kind of alchemy which you somehow need to learn by practice and there is no real guidance of how to draft pattern so it will fit anybody perfectly.
@tatianatakacsova I can feel your frustration. But let me tell you. I am a professional pattern maker for more than 20 years. Pattern maker's job is fitting & pattern adjustments most of time. If there's formulas for perfect fit, I don’t think the world needs pattern makers any more. 😆 People have all different body shapes. Fabric reacts in a different way. Each design requires its own fit. If you're not a professional pattern maker, I think you can purchase patterns and start from there. Do the fitting and revise patterns for the fit you want. That's a little easy way. If you want to learn pattern making properly, give yourself enough time to learn and practice. And start with pattern block making. Decide one area. For example, learn pant pattern first. Or focus on blouses first. There should be good books out there to learn it. But I don't know very well because the books I learned were mostly Korean and it was a long time ago. And I have an online course that teaches pattern block making and fitting. Take a look at my website, if that's what you want.
@@PatternStudio101 Thank you very much for your answer. So it seems like there is a loong jurney in fron of me. I was wondering if it will not be easier learning in CLO 3D in virtual world? Do you have any experience with that?

Do you have a video on how to combine the bodice block to the skirt block to make a fitted shirt up to the hips with just waist darts?
Hi, I don’t combine the bodice block and skirt block to make a long bodice pattern. Simply add the hip line under the waist.
@@PatternStudio101 thank you

If your side neck point is less than half way of shoulder line, I think it’ll be safe. Maximum half way.
Thank you! Best teacher❤

Hi miss jin.. I just want to ask if it necessary to put dart on shoulder when you do bodice block? Tia and god bless
Hi, if you are making a pretty fitted bodice block for any kind of woven tops, then I would say YES. And you can transfer or remove when you draft design patterns. But if you're making loose fit blouse bodice block, you don’t have to.
Are there any lectures with Korean subtitles on your website?

If you want to remove the shoulder dart, you can transfer to waist, or cut out at the neck & shoulder by half the amount.
Hi, thank you for the tutorial but can i remove the shoulder dart?
Yes, you can. Don't make a dart from the beginning.
@@PatternStudio101which means we have to minus the 1/2 “ taken for the shoulder dart and from the 3/8” below, have to take 1/2” inside to shape the Armhole curve, right? Am gonna try your Bodice block 👍
@@marinadi532 Yes, from the CB, half of the shoulder width. Then 3/8” in for across back.
Mam, where to join the side seam ? Is it waist /4 or should we also add the dart allowance.
Sorry, I don’t think I understand your question properly. Can you explain again?
Deep nack blouse cutting. Like front is 7"" deep and back nack is 11" deep
Hi Jin. Should the front armhole length be shorter than the back armhole length or equal?
It is a good starting point, but depending on the person’s posture, front armhole depth can be higher thanks to the back one.
Thank you
Why do we need a shoulder dart Jin?
Hi, it's to make a shape for the back. When you picture a spine, you need a curve to the shoulder.
If chest circ and waist circ are only 5 cm btween them
I can cancel waist dart at back and front and keeb other darts ??
