Great tutorial

 This was really a great tutorial. Please continue. I will definitely go for a years subscription. I want to lean a lot on standard cloth finishings and pattern making. I love this. Thank you so much.

Hi Louise,

Yes you need to add seam allowances to the drafted block pattern.

How much seam allowance and where all?

 

Hi! Nehzat,

Good question Louise. I want to know how much seam allowance and where for both the bodice patterns. Are these allowance measurements same for pre-teen bodice patterns too?

I just finish looking at the videos. It is so thorough, easy to understand and solved many of my mystries. Thank you Nehzat and keep up the great work.

Thanks.

Re: How much seam allowance and where

Hi didi,

Thanks for your kind words.

You can add between 1.3 to 1.5 cm for the neckline seam allowance. Between 1.5 to 2 cm for the shoulder line. Between 1.3 to 1.5 for the armhole. 2.5 cm for the side seams and 2 to 2.5 cm for the waistline. These measurements can be applied for your pre-teen daughter as well.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat

Can block pattern be used 4 pre-teens? what change is needed?

Hi! Nehzat,

Is 'Block pattern' and 'Flat Pattern' the same? Also can your block pattern technique be used for making bodice for pre-teen girls? I need to sew a dress for my daughter for up coming event.

Thanks.

Re: Can Bodice Block Pattern be used for Pre-Teens

Hi did,

Yes flat and block pattern refer to the same thing. You can use the same bodice block pattern for your daughter as well. The only difference might be that your daughter may not need bust darts because of her figure.

Hope this helps,

Nehzat

Re: Pants sewing from a pattern

Dear Ahmad,

We will be working on a new lesson, on how to sew pants from a pattern, which we will draft ourselves.

This will compliment the fly zipper lesson we just released.

Thanks,

Nehzat
