hi BD, thanks for your videos. they are really good. just a gentle reminder that they are viewed by an international audience. you tend to speak quite fast and sometimes it is hard to understand and keep up with you (especially for non american audiences like myself) despite repeated pausing and rewinding. i wanted to copy your A line skirt pattern instructions but after so many attempts trying to understand, i had to give up and try another channel.  thanks though and as i said, they are very useful. best regards, Flora

Thank you for your videos. I just started sewing and have no idea what I'm doing. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for these tutorials! I tried making patterns before and was completely lost, but I'm starting to get there now :)

I like your tutorials. Thank you for sharing. Do you know how to make a curved waist band to match your specific shape?

[beenan]

[Dragonpond]

love your top - did you make it :) - tutorials are great also

[desireemonae]

Also are you using cm for all your measurements?

[aurosoriano]

where can you find the roll of paper for patterns?

[SakuraKiss]

Is seam allowance built into the pattern's calculations, or do I need to add it myself?

[insightcody]

hi your video is so usefull but I hope you will teach us also how to apply it on the fabric and how to sew it. pleeeaassee

[kemeticcouture]

When making your pattern are you drawing the "true measurements" or are you drawing the measurements that have been divided by 4+3.5 cm to the pattern?

[blessingable]

😕😕 aww aww thanks again for this video..but I forget to put darts on my Straight line long skirt..still hope the shape are gonna come out

[somaahmed]

I just made one while am watching, am just confused do I add darts or the cut fits good enough

[desireemonae]

Hi your video is helpful however there are a couple of things confusing to me. Like why do you need to multiply the measurements by 3.5cm? And could you explain in detail the applying the measurements to the pattern making it is confusing and fast some of the steps. Sorry I am very new to this so please don't take offense.

Hey! Very helpful videos but you've stopped producing them for the last year. I'd really like to see you take these patterns to the cutting table and go through the process of putting all the pieces together. Or even show us how you take you patterns and draw them out on a plotter for production, now that would be really cool
