This man is The bob ross of tailoring, never fallen so far down a rabbit hole as your channel great job
@stephenboyd7244
" True up" is actually a term used by us tailors. And a little bit of advice, remember when taking your measurements, try to have someone do that for you and always place two fingers under the measuring tape for wear ease

"anything broken down into small enough chunks is manageable" is such a good thing to remember. My first pattern was a stuffed animal. I was about 15 and My boyfriend at the time was obsessed with ferrets, but wasn't allowed to get one. So for his birthday I made him one. I remember staying up all night copying parts of my other stuffed animals to figure out how to do it. I had been sewing since I was very young, but that was my first time making my own pattern I think. My grandma thought it looked store bought so I felt good about it haha
@ashleatenny2719
I love how you always put things into laymans terms with a bit of humor. It never feels condescending or unkind. ❤
@RISpaceCase
I love how wonderfully weird and real this guy is. I also appreciate that everything is understandable from a beginner's point of view. Stay strange my friend and thank you.
@InsectConsumer
You are the corniest man ever, and MY SAVIOR!!! After watching a few videos like this I was starting to think I had bitten off more than I can chew with trying to pattern something like this, but this is a huge help! I haven’t started yet, but I’m sure this is gonna help me a lot with my project!!! :D
@peterjanssen5901
Btw, any men here who started sewing not to make shirts (though having my own home made t-shirts is amazing), but fancy over-coats? I always loved Inverness coats with half capes, but you can find those in the store. And neither are there any waistcoats to my liking. So, that's how I started. I'm glad I found this channel, it confirmed a lot of things I'm doing right and showed me those extra important tips of what I am doing wrong.
@ruthkirkparick3535
OK, I stopped a 5.24. I've watched so many tutorials on both how to take measurements and pattern drafting, I've lost count. Already you have solved two problems that continued to plague me. I'm subscribed and have both enjoyed your presentation style, and learned things or got a better insight into things I have always known/done. I will continue watching this video but will also flag it to watch again later to I can apply what you have so succinctly presented to the patterns I have drafted and resolve those problems. Once again, thank you so much for being such a great teacher--informative and never dull.😊
@juliemac5604
As a sewist, I just watch your videos because I think you are funny and cute. Then, I end up learning something new, every time!
@lynnb-TruckWEFCarney
I adore your mannerisms. You're quirky, funny and highly informative. 🥰
@iman-alibeg3849
If there was anyone I would trust in making patterns it's this dude. I'm Pakistani and when I was taught how to make patterns for a Shalwaar Khameez we were taught how to make a flat pattern way. I love the way he teaches and I am definitely going to invest in his pattern-making course. I didn't get to finish my course so I might as well do it here, in the comfort of my own home.
@fancyfree8228
I’m really happy for you with your new studio. I have a dedicated sewing room now and it makes a huge difference! The oak paper (heavy weight) can sometimes be gotten for free from large box retailers in between pallettes.
@sallyb7472
When you make yourself laugh it makes my day! Thank you for all your knowledge, delivered plainly and with whimsy.
@MizrahiChick
The channel of MY DREAMS !!! I FOUND IT !!!
@26debsterdots
I have drafted a large baby quilt, some totes and a chatelain to wear and keep my most used smaller tools handy. Funny thing is I had no clue I was drafting a pattern until I watch your video. It has been the only video that has made the most sense to me so far. I love your humor , you crack me up lol. Thank you for sharing your talents with your viewers.
@DJ_Borderline_Barbie

@TheLSRoberts
Boy am I soooo glad you Popped Up on my ‘FYP’ …you break this down in PLAIN but Professional ENGLISH! I could have saved myself from a lot of HEADACHES if I’d saw this video 🎉
@toniahand9225
First time I’ve understood this! Thank you for stripping down to the basics!!!!
@FengShuiBae
Oh my I’ve been watching pattern drafting tutorials for six months and always give up because the explanations are so complicated and long winded BUT now I have you ! So simple and without the rambling which my adhd brain tunes out after 2mins……so Thank you 🙏
