Thank you so much for this series. I especially like your short segments. They are informative and concise. This fits my learning style perfectly! Thank you again!

[yokhana]

errrrrrrrrr crappy video. She just shows how to put the pattern on the fabric & pin it. Any idiot knows how to do that.

[tarantulady]

@yokhana ... except for somebody who has never done this. Also, it's part of a series.

TRANSgendered ones TOO????

[fashionassassin81]

hey guys! just some words of wisdom!! if you use weights instead of pins its alot easier and also purchase a roller cutter makes like and sewing a whole lot easier!!

I got myself 10 large washers at the hardware store, galvanized ones (so they can't discolor fabrics). Cheap and very useful. I just love them as pinning isn't always a good option. You can buy small sandbags to use too from sewing notions stores, but the washers are much better, I think. Some pro weights are just like washers too, only they are painted. Mine are around 3" across and maybe 1/8" thick. Shouldn't cost you much!

[illkickurass2]

um this didnt teach meanything..just that u can pin things..i want to know how to amek my pattern

[NeYobabymama10]

me too, the title says how to make, but she is following a bought pattern...

[bintHussain1]

I think it will be best if u number these videos from beginning to end. it confusing to search for the next one. Its good explanation , thanks

[DianaPrince403]

FYI to the poster: please title your posts consistently and number them so that people can follow the series in order.

[SOMONUMBER1]

Title is misleading. Thought I might learn something. Wasted my time.

[thecostumer]

Agreed. You're not making a pattern, you're pinning a store bought.

[olas26]

where do you get those patterns? where do you buy them?

[Czaendermajer]

? for my uniform i copied patterns from my combat gear :)

want patterns?, OK Get some cheap clothes you like, unsew it (do not cut the fabric use a destiching thing) and when youve disassembled it. memorize calmly how you disassembled it and use the pieces as the patterns.and you can combine patterns of different clothes (Calculate & Cut them well or youll have problems with the sizes of the different pieces)

im experienced making uniforms without the fancy army of machines like factories do

[LottaTroublemaker]

I love to deconstruct clothes too, to use for patterns. I just "butchered" a pair of old PJ pants. First I pinned one leg and the front/back to make one half real tight. I took it off, then marked that side with chalk. Then cut and used a seam ripper (that destitching thing, LOL) to take it apart. That part became my new tights/leggings pattern. The other part I'll use for PJ's and sweat pants! Easy and I know I like the shape/design of these. Great to do with panties, shirts etc. too!

[LottaTroublemaker]

Actually, sometimes buying some garments on sale for deconstruction, is way cheaper than buying a pattern. If you use used garments you have, it's for free! You can trace it onto paper afterwards and use the fabric scraps for some projects (e.g. T-shirts are great for making underwear)... :)

[Czaendermajer]

yeah, for my new imperial german style tunic ive unsewn the suit of a neibor that she gifted to me a long time ago (since i am long proportion & young male suits dont suit me! LOL) so i am simply now going to use em (modified) for my new feldbluse & for my brothers chinese suit i use my old military dress shirt & straighten waist patterns & make shoulder pattern fancy like suit. but flexible like feldbluse & i am still in proggress on that but im well▐▐▐

[charmcast1]

i agree completly, but remember if you are doing this to use similar weght fabric.

[Czaendermajer]

several patterns are also made for specific material. ancient chinese clothes have simple cheap design for being easy with delicate silk & how terrible is hand stitching, also europeans had heavier stuff which made sewing more complex pattern easier, but most of my patterns are military ww1/ww2/modern designs & those type of patterns is good of heavy matterial, except my polyester suit which shall ned modification in the pattern design.. for its to adjuisted for me & also harder!▐▐▐
