    • In this video, Nick shows you how to create an A-Line Skirt pattern using the Slash & Spread method.
    • Flat PATTERN MAKING depends on previously developed patterns as a base for creating DESIGN patterns.
    • The chosen working pattern used here is the TWO-DART SKIRT BLOCK.
    • We will SLASH & SPREAD our SKIRT BLOCK and REMOVE one of the WAIST DARTS. This will help us create an A-LINE Skirt shape.
    • In addition, we will BALANCE our patterns making sure everything matches creating the perfect A-Line Skirt!

    My friend this video is truly a blessing and right on time! I am making clothes for my wife but not happy with the way the skirts are coming out…now I understand my issue primarily…BALANCE! Today I’m going to use this process to make her an A-line skirt with the goal of overcoming the fear I have been facing…

    Marvelous!!!, next , How to draw the “ Waist band”. ( Does it include the zipper top, button and button hole or hook ‘n eye ; or is it an elastic band?) 👍👍 ✨ Thank you, Nick. I appreciate your “Tips and Tricks”, they are so helpful to know. 28:12

    • @BradKandyCroftFamily
      @BradKandyCroftFamily ปีที่แล้ว

      YES!! I made my very long legged (all the bottoms in the stores make her look like a hillbilly hooker) daughter a circle skirt and had to resort to a fancy elastic band because all the tutorials for a waistband were junk. Nothing fit right and I ran out of fabric.

    What if the back dart is not up to the front, then what should be done

  • @mariakorosteleva764
    @mariakorosteleva764 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does balancing makes the front and back panels essentially the same shape? What are the differences?

  • @ashleyal
    @ashleyal 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Removing one dart makes the waist smaller. Should we make the other dart larger to accommodate this?

  • @pazyrivera8298
    @pazyrivera8298 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    But, I thought the back was bigger than de front at the hip

    @pmclaughlin4111 ปีที่แล้ว

    Here's the problem. Due to age, pregnancies, injuries, and genetics...my front block doesn't have 2 darts and for the back, one dart is incorporated at center back and I have only only one on each side ( works out to 3 darts across the back.
