I am wanting to establish a digital sewing pattern business and be able to draft patterns directly on Adobe Illustrator . What you described on this video was perfect for the stage I am presently at. I will look forward to some more digital pattern making videos from you. Thank you!

Hi, thank you so much for providing all these resources, but I was actually very curious if you could make a video series about doing the pattern making from scratch (using your own take on it and maybe the the resources from Helen Armstrong). I would love an in depth series on it. I have watched so many videos and I'm not sure what is the "right way" to do it. I feel that could be an extremely applicable video for all viewers and may bring more subscribers to your channel. I haven't really found a concise video on youtube explaining why or how the specific measurements are added. I'm not sure what's the correct one and why. Each pattern maker seems to have their own "technique" on adding measurements. I really enjoy your style of teaching. You seem extremely seasoned in the field and I can't wait to keep binge-watching all your well thought out videos!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I definitely would love to show a more in depth walkthrough of how I create and manipulate patterns. My plan is to dive more in-depth as time goes on so that I can really expand into the technicalities of each part of technical design. I am planning to show some more patternmaking as a part of my new vlog series that will be on my channel here on KZitem!

This video is very helpful! I am wondering how you would go about setting up printing in the "cut the edge and glue" way that I see in many Indie Patterns. This isn't like what you showed, where you'd essentially draw in the line that isn't printed at the edges. I'd love a video on it or if you could send me to a blog post :). Thanks for all you have shared!

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for your question! Essentially what you would do is cut the pattern pieces apart to fit the printer page size. I like to use a shape to make sure that everything is lined up (like a star for example). I mention this method at the end of this article: www.pointsofmeasure.com/tutorials-education/the-basics-of-patternmaking - The reason I prefer to do it the way that is outlined in this video is because there is less room for error because your only variable is the paper size which is already highly regulated to only vary by a fraction of a millimeter. When cutting and lining up you have to consider, are you cutting consistently on the line? What is the width of the line? are the angles correctly matched? All of these variables can add up to big variations in the final printed pattern!

I'm so happy to have found your channel! I've been drafting blocks and patterns on paper, and doing tech drawings in Ai, but now I want to make my blocks and patterns digitally. My brain works in such a way that I'm not able to fill in the blanks --- At 19:23, you start with a file that's already been set up and has preliminary lines on it. I'm wondering if you have a tutorial that outlines the settings you use, to set up your files.
@POINTSofMEASURE

Hey there, thanks so much for your kind words! In this tutorial I talk a little bit about grids and guides which are the main things I recommend when setting up your file (those can be found under the "View" menu at the top). You can also change the unit of measure (in the File menu at the top or you can also change it for all files in the Illustrator menu at the top). Other than that I pretty much just use the default menus set up in AI. This is a great topic though and I'll add it to my list for future videos! Let me know if you have more questions :)

THank you so much for this info. One question - at 31:00 Your pattern is outside the print tile "dotted line" , this is where my confusion is that is that part going to be printed since it is outside of printing border, if yes then isnt your printed pattern going to not correct size to tape it? Im sorry im so confused, been trying to figure out printing settings since morning :(
@POINTSofMEASURE
3 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's correct! So it's OK if your pattern goes across the print tiling. You will be taping your pages from edge to edge just like they're set up in AI and can fill in those small gaps. I would caution to not put any main points over those gaps - you can easily rearrange to your liking. It's sort of hard to explain - but I can show you a visual example! Send me a DM on Instagram @ pointsofmeasure or contact me via my website and I can send a photo that better illustrates what I'm talking about.

Hello❤️❤️❤️ I’m interested in creating and selling sewing patterns. I’ve only been successful in drafting patterns using Helen Joseph Armstrong’s technique, which I have been using since 2018❤️❤️(I’m self-taught, I didn’t go to university or have taken any courses for sewing. But I’m worried about running into legal problems if I use this technique. I’ve noticed almost all fashion designers on KZitem use draping. Is that the ideal way to draft patterns if you plan on selling the patterns or making clothes for people. Thank you in advance❤️❤️❤️❤️
@POINTSofMEASURE
3 жыл бұрын
Hi there! A lot of designers (including myself) use Helen's method. You shouldn't have any legal problems using that method to draft patterns that your selling, that's what her book is for! As long as you're not replicating her technique and selling it as a course/book. You can definitely use draping to create patterns, but draping and flat pattern are two very different techniques for two very different purposes. Draping is best used when the design is fluid, you want to let the fabric decide the shape of the garment, or you want to experiment with unique pattern shapes. Flat pattern is best used when you know the pattern shape and measurements. They can be used interchangeably, but that is the basic overview of what they're intended for.
