 Bonjour et bienvenue sur la modélice et je suis content that you are back here in my channel. For today's tutorial, we are going to learn how to create go-day inserts for our skirts. Go-day pattern making is one of the most complex pattern making techniques for skirts and I am here to guide you step by step. So let's get this tutorial started. To begin on the middle part of your pattern paper, draw in a horizontal guideline. Trace the basic torso block right exactly on the guideline at the hipline. Make it sure that the blocks are both facing the side seam. And trace the basic torso block from the hipline until the waistline. And do not trace the second darts, we will distribute them on the side seams and on the front dart. Label the front and back skirts to avoid confusion. Next from the center front line and the center back line, extend these lines downward. And do the same procedure for the side seam. From the waistline, mark down your desired length for the skirt. For me, I have used 17 inches or 43 cm. And square a line for the helm line. From the side seam on the front waist, mark in 1 cm or 3 8 7 inch to distribute the second front dart. And from this mark, redraw the side seam until the hipline. And distribute equally the remaining 1 cm or 3 8 7 inch on the front waist dart. And redraw the front waist dart like so. Next from the side seam on the back waist, mark in 1 cm or 3 8 7 inch to distribute the second back dart. And from this mark, redraw the side seam until the hipline. And get the measurement from the hipline until the hemline. And record this measurement for the length of the go day. For example, my measurement is 8.3 inches or 21 cm. For the go day template, prepare a cardboard paper and draw in a vertical center line. From this line, mark out the width of the go day. On the first half, mark out 1.5 inches or 3.8 cm. And mark out the same measurement on the last half and that is 3 inches in total. And from these marks, square in lines. Next, square in a top line. And from the top line, mark down the go day length. For example, the length of my go day is 7.7 inches or 20 cm. And square a line like so, completing the frame for the go day template. From the top line on each angle, square in 45-degree diagonal lines. And on each line, mark in 1.5 cm or 5 8 7 inch. From the top line on each line at the side, mark down 3.5 cm or 1.3 inches. And lastly, from the top line on each line at the side, mark in 3 cm or 1.1 inches. Next connect these marks by drawing an arc shape for the tip of the go day. And cut out the template from your paper. And label this pattern go day template. Next get your back and front skirt pattern and your go day template. First trace the half of the go day template on the center back line of the skirt. And also trace the half of the go day template on the center front line of the skirt like so. And trace the full go day template on the side seam like so. Next get the halfway between each go day placement and mark the halfway in. And place a go day template right exactly on the mark and trace. Next get the halfway between each go day placement and mark the halfway in. And place a go day template right exactly on the mark and trace. And do not forget to mark in the center line of the go-day for sewing references. Next put your desired sewing allowance on each arc and your back and front skirt pattern. And cut out your patterns from your paper. For each arc, I have used 1.3 cm or 4.7 inch of sewing allowance. And also on the side seams, and the center back seam, and the center front will be cut on fold. And a new piece of pattern paper trees in the go-day template including the center line. Next get the 1.4 measurement of the go-day, and mark in the 1.4 measurement on each side from the center line. And square in a line like so. And now we have 3 slash lines for the go-day. Next cut out your go-day pattern from your paper, and slash through each line but do not cut beyond. Next get a sufficient amount of pattern paper for spreading technique, and draw a vertical line on the center part of your paper. From this line, mark out 1.5 inches or 3.8 cm on each side, and tape the first or middle slash line right exactly on the marks. And for the next slash lines, mark out 3 inches or 7.6 cm and tape the pattern right exactly on the marks. Next draw a curved line for the hemline of the go-day. And put your desired sewing allowance for the go-day pattern. And cut out the go-day pattern from your paper. For the go-day pattern, I have used 4.8 inch or 1.3 cm of sewing allowance. Correction guys, the go-day pattern shouldn't be cut x 10 on your fabric, it should only be cut x 8 on your fabric. I miscounted and I am only human and I make mistakes, so I'm sorry for that. And do not forget to notch the center line of the go-day pattern, we will use this notch for sewing. For this tutorial, I have used this wool plaid fabric and I have placed my front skirt pattern on the fold parallel with the back skirt pattern. And cut my patterns like so. And first sew your back and front waist arts. Next face both back and front skirts together from right side to right side. And sew the side seams according to your sewing allowance. Next prepare your go-day inserts and mark in the center notch. And as you can see I've already inserted the go-days and I have left one empty go-day placement for sewing demonstration. To sew the go-day insert, make it sure to mark the center notch on the go-day insert itself. And mark the center notch where we are going to place the go-day. Also make few snips on the curved parts of the arc to ease the tension and to avoid puckering. Next, face the skirt pattern and the go-day insert together from right side to right side. And match the center notches and pin in place. And sew the go-day insert to the skirt according to your sewing allowance. Next, push all of the sewing allowance on one side and give it a press for a clean finish. Et voilà! So, this is my go-day skirt mock-up on different angles.
