I love the the FREEDOM that you highlighted! I enjoy selecting the fabric that I want (or have on hand) and subsequently altering/creating a pattern to provide the ease that I desire with that fabric. ❤ Great channel!

[@TheCreativeCurator]

Ah, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and agree 100% - the freedom we have is why I do what I do! 😘

Interesting! Can you talk about pattern making for plus sizes. I want to start drafting myself but can’t find any good resources for plus size drafting.

[@TheCreativeCurator]

Hey Claire - sorry, I didn't see this til now! Absolutely! I think there's very little in the way of reliable information on plus size drafting, so would love to talk more about this if it's helpful!

I am so excited to have found your channel

Thank you so much! I hope you find what you need but I am always open to suggestions of new videos! 😘

I’m terrified to design my own pattern, but do it all the time in my bag-making. I agree that it definitely gives more freedom. I know what I like, so tend to look for patterns with those features!

[@TheCreativeCurator]

I understand, it can be very daunting. The thing that I come back to again and again is better fit. I attempted to make a denim corset last weekend (from scraps, for a halloween costume) and I used someone else's pattern. Even though I took key measurements, comparing my body to the pattern, it still did not fit. I should have just used my close fit waistcoat pattern and hacked that. Sigh.
Anyhow, if there's anything I can do to help persuade you to have a go at making your own, do let me know Maria! 😘

Hi… can you please make video about transforming from basic bodice pattern to a shirt or blouse pattern?like the pink shirt you are wearing.
I am still confused. If I wanted to draft a shirt from my basic bodice pattern, I added 4cm on the bust length, do I need to draw the shirt armhole line a bit lower than the basic bodice pattern armhole line ?

It’s near 10 pm I have been working on making a dress, using two pattern I have cut out the skirt pieces and gathered them but I need to make a bodice design for the top. I also have a band to attach to the bottom part and connect to the top. Do you have any suggestions
