Drafting a Bodice Block and Sewing a Muslin (Beginner Style)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2024
- The journey of a beginner sewist as he takes custom measurements, drafts a bodice block/men's sloper, and sews a muslin for future garment creation. He opted not to make sleeves because he didn't want to -- also (spoiler ahead) the next project is a vest. Why did I write my description in third person? No idea. It amused me. But hello there, anyhow!
Sewing on a Singer 4432 heavy duty machine in stylish black.
Muslin is Sew Essentials Muslin Fabric 36'' from Joann.
Other materials as needed:
- Flexible measuring tape.
- Sewing pins or clips.
- Two very interested cat assistants.
Thank you to Cornelius Quiring for his video "How to Draft a Shirt Pattern ... and Fix Fit Issues". Tremendous help found here: • How to Draft a Shirt P... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Super impressed! I’ve watched his vids n got complete overwhelmed and decided I’ll never ever draft.. just do what I know better .. made patterns I can alter hahah 😅
Well done 🎉
Good job! 🎉
Wow, your progress is amazing to me. I’m new to sewing, a few months longer and I’m still on beginner projects. Cornelius has inspired me as well. Enjoying your videos and creation.
Thank you! Still working on the basics myself. Finding a lot of joy in the creation and learning process. 😄
Wow very impressive. To answer your question, you need to ask yourself about how your body will react to the fleece. Are you naturally cold or hot in nature and is your skin sensitive to certain materials. I would say it a personal choose and you would be the only one to answer your question. Can't wait to see what you choose. Have fun sewing🪡
Hi Cody I have been sewing for 10 years but have only made quilts and small projects and never gone near a clothing pattern.
I’m so envious of quilters! I hope to be able to pick that gift up one day.
Congrats on your early success!
Thank you! I hope I can keep it up. 😂
Such great job! Still perfectiong my patterning, hips and chesticels makes it harder
Thank you! Yeah, I definitely have some privilege there. Most fem aiming bodice blocks have darts and such and oooh, outside of my abilities to tackle those just yet.
I don't want to be the insufferable know-it-all, but: it would have been easier to buy a commercial pattern, make a block then anything can be adapted. See the closet historian's youtube chanel to understand drafting concept. I would suggest readers digest complete guide to sewing. I believe the older versions are better than the new publication mmy copy is 46 years old in tatters and still used. I think it's great you are being so adventurous.
Good job! 🎉
Thank you! 😊
