I'm a 45 year old guy retiring with 20 years in the nuclear industry. Now I wanna do what I've wanted to learn, and that's fashion design. Wish I had pursued this route earlier in my 20s. Very enriching.
Bc I’m a guy my parents don’t want me to be a fashion designer but they want me to be a doctor. I’m secretly learning fashion so they don’t know so Tysm for the help 🥺
I'm an artist but I also love making my own unique clothes and upcycles. I just purchased your flats templates so I can really figure out what I want to design and visualize my creations before I start cutting my precious materials! I had no idea what flats were but your videos are so helpful! Thanks Zoe!
I am a home sewer for many years, I have done design as needed to address a given situation. However I have no training as to the actual math and design. This is really exciting. I love these templates because sketching is difficult for me.
Zoe Hong I️ have been a fan for ever Wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I️ appreciate the help you provide to all of us students This is my last semester for my BA in FD and my anxiety was crazy during my production classes but I️ always knew that I️ could turn to you for flats and sketches You are amazing and you have saved my life I️ love you Zoe Hong
Here as a video game/film concept artist looking for cross discipline training. Thanks for the vid! We do the same thing in designing sets for map out positional elements in a scene for composition; simple maps. Cool to consider seam placement, makes me think of 16th century armor design.
Please LIKE this video if you want more videos on flats and let me know in the comments if you want me to post male flats templates and kids flats templates in my etsy shop!
Zoe Hong thank you so much Zoe! I am definitely gonna buy these later this week. I would be so thankful if you could please post male templates! Please, please do so. Drawings flats is something I have so much trouble doing still. And since I mainly design men’s clothing, your templates would help me immensely. As always great video! Your channel is always so informative and in-depth in it’s lessons.
I second that motion "FLATS!!" It's all that I've even seen or done working in fashion since 1992. That's why I watch your super duper wonderful fashion illustration videos to relearn drawing. It's so fun. You are a Goddesssend!!! Can not thank you enough.
Hey zoe im studying fashion designing but only through u im learning a lot, ur videos helping me to attain d right knowledge and skill.. thank u soooo much...
You just reminded me of all my homework I have to do today for my flats class. 4 in class based on two real garments and then 6 from photos and then all transferred to bond paper and 4 are inked. Plus a 10 picture vocab packet. Yay me
I'm just a normal 7th grade student and your video has helped me a lot! My dream is to become a fashion designer for especially celebrity costumes.... If possible can you maybe make a video on it? As in basics of celebrity clothing's? Tips and tricks? THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You are incredible! You are so pedagogical and I love you for that! Im a newbe and I decided to make my Owner clothes as IM very tall. IM now 52 so its now or never!! Thanks and plebsen dont ever stop doing your vids, your a natural! Xxxxx
I learned to draw flats on 1:4 scale. So you could measure the flat drawing to make the patterns. Great video. I will buy your flat template for my projects. Thank you.
Here’s something interesting: while shopping for thrift store books one day, came across some Japanese plain covered and in 3 different coloured, pattern books. I was fascinated with them but alas, I didn’t speak the language and at the time, was actually into using books to make my own custom books and couldn’t decide to pay the couple dollars for the set of 3. But got home and they kept popping up in my mind and looked them up- WoW 😲- kinda cool and collectible but extremely useful books. So I immediately went back to the store, fingers crossed 🤞that they’d still be there and they were, and on sale for less a buck each. Picked them up and shelved them- since I knew they’re good for learning basic pattern skills and worth a little.
I would love to see more about drawing flats. In my school book they are called Pattern schemas, but nothing came up when I tried to search for that here on youtube. I need to figure out how to draw a cardigan type top like right now as I have a school project that is due tomorrow. So having some more videoes about this for future help would be amazing. Your videoes on illustration has been so helpfull, can see so mutch more improvment from my drawings after watching them vs just looking at picturs in the school book and of clothes in simular shapes.
Wow. Thank for your vids. I am not trained or anything but do see an have made a bunch of dresses and jacket and learned not to draw line through the Apex by looking at other designs. You're vid is very informative, helpful. Thank you
AHHHHHHHHH!!! I’m overwhelmed with excitement because I have been trying to figure out what flats are in depth! My sewing teacher keeps pointing me at Vogue’s flats/blocks but I’m a beautiful trans-feminine woman 🧑🏻😅 so I need to figure out how to make my own
this was verrrry helpful i’m thinking about applications and flats were in the portfolio requirements and i had no clue what they were thank you for enlightening me!
Having an old school graphic design/print production background, I would be inclined to three hole punch the patterns and three hole punch 8 1/2 x 11 tissue. This way you can pin register them. I hope the 1/4" registration pins are still available.
i really want to go to a perfomring arts college and study the fashion designing program, ofc i needed practice, and ur vid helped me out so much!! thanks, and now u have a new subscriber lol
Omg this is Genius! I'm so buying it (I'm the one who bought your entire Etsy shop lol). Btw in my beginnings I was doing front darts that ended at the bust apex. I learned it was wrong... the hard way 😂😂
I'm a sophomore and I really cant decide what I want to do in life and I really just want to figure it put and put myself on the right track. Honestly I probably wont even be able to go to college. I just cant decide on anything and I feel I'm never going to be good enough at anything I try.
See, I am in 2nd year of college for B.tech. But here I am, not knowing what I want to do, thinking of changing skills but I don't gave the guts to tell my parents. So taking up skills in designing, makeup and also engineering so I can have options open. I am a bit interested in art. So you see, it is never late. Find your options. Try all of them out. Find which suits you. Go with it. All the best!
omg this looks so much easier !! i wish i knew this before :( , we always had to make flats based on the measurements of a person ,and the proportion could become so weird :( this looks so much better :))
@@zoehongteaches wow! i admire your experience... I've been at a halt with my creativity. This is when i go in search for the masters. So, i visited your page for some insight and possibly gain more skill awareness and it helps. (remember to breathe ) thank you for existing..
Pt 2 can you please do some more videos on how to use illustrator I’ve seen the ones you have done but can you give a class on how to do a jacket from beginning to end with pockets, zips Jackie from London xx Love your vids
I didn’t think about flats. I’m learning on my own so it’s like throwing a ball of iron into the ocean and the pressure is the knowledge...allllll angles. Lol. Also on a personal...my favorite is the “eh?” she randomly says lol.
Hey Zoe, I want to ask your opinion on Gerber for pattern making. Do you think it's necessary to take a class to learn how to use this program? Is there ways to study and learn it on your own? What are the pros and cons of a pattern computed aided program like this? ..so many questions I have but don't want to bombard you, lol. I'm not sure if you have a video on this subject already.
It depends on what kind of learner you are and if you can find a course online. The other barrier is to learn it on your own, you have to buy the software. Most clothing categories are moving to digital methods so if you want a career in patternmaking, you're chances of getting hired is better the more programs you know.
Hi Zoe, I absolutely love your videos, I’m a beginner and your videos are very helpful. What is a recommendation on dress form that are one size VS adjustable dress form ? And if you have any recommendation where to get them. Btw I already purchased the flats tramples.
I don't like adjustable forms. There are too many areas you can't pin, like where the plastic adjusting disks are, and the gaps between panels. Alvanon forms are the best but the most expensive. You can find used ones on ebay. The rest are all pretty similar to each other. PGM, Wolf, etc.
Hi Zoe Can you believe I’m a BA (HONS) Fashion and Textiles Graduate and I’ve had to take extra class in illustrator because there was so much work we had to cover so they SLIMMED over this module!!!!!!! When looking for work whats the first thing I noticed, photoshop and illustrator needed!!!!!!! £9000 already spent and I still have to go on another course Can you please do
Hello Zoe yor video on How to become a Fashion Designer was awesome and I always wanted to know the book details since I'm not a very screen reading person. Thank yo for that. Can yo suggest me few books on Fashion Styling and Color Theory based on body contour, in detail. It would be of great help to me.

Could you please tell me the camera you use to record this video? Its auto focus is amazing
I use my iphone. The one that shot this particular video is the iphone 7.
Also, could you do a video explaining the difference between a stylized fashion flat and a manufacturing flat?
There are 2 kinds of flats: a quick, rough design flat just to get the idea down on paper and a fully detailed out, properly proportioned manufacturing flat. Flats are technical, fashion figure illustrations are expressive and stylized.
Very good

hello!
Could you tell us a little bit more about which darts to use for which design. For which type of designs do we use bust dart and when to use armhole dart?
thank you!
Darts are not about design. Darts are about fit, so you choose the darts depending on how you want a garment to fit the body.
