I bet when you started sewing that you didn't just dream of sewing something, you dreamed of sewing your own something.
2
Uniquely you in style, fit, shape for just you and your body.
3
It's something I hear all the time and that is I want to make my own sewing patterns.
4
Quickly followed with but I have no idea where to start
5
and maybe that's you and
6
if it is this video I'm going to talk through five different ways
7
that you can create your own sewing patterns made just for you.
8
Welcome back sewing friends.
9
I am really excited about today's topic because as the owner of a sewing school, I can tell you, I've heard this so often when you start sewing, right?
10
It's why I started sewing because I wanted to create my own unique stuff to fit me in my style.
11
I wanted, I couldn't find things at the shop and I wanted to make my own stuff.
12
And that comes with then, I want to be able to make my own patterns
13
because that's where it starts from right and
14
so we have the options of commercial patterns which is wonderful
15
because there are
16
so many options available to us in different styles sizes fits aesthetics there's a huge world out there
17
but it's still just not quite right is it
18
and you think I'm going to make my own patterns
19
and the can of worms the rabbit hole opens up
20
and you're left with like how
21
because there are more than one way to do anything in sewing
22
and particularly to be able to get your own patterns there are multiple ways
23
or avenues to get the same result in the end
24
and i've got five here with you today i've tried them all
25
and i also talk you through not only the options
26
but what maybe they're best for so you can figure out
27
if it is best for you in your situation too like what's going to work for you
28
and of course after much trial
29
and error as i said i have also in my sewing
30
school i also had the recommendation of what I think works best for most home sewers as well.
31
A way to make your own sewing patterns is to deconstruct a ready -made garment and create a pattern from it.
32
This happens all the time in the actual garment industry where they will buy usually designer
33
or sometimes even vintage garments and take them back to their workrooms.
34
They pull them apart and make patterns from them and then recreate them for their new fashion line.
35
But of course we can do it at home as well because you know you've got a favorite pair of jeans, that favorite blouse, that top that just fits oh so perfectly and you want to recreate it.
36
So you can do it by the easiest ways to pull apart the entire garment because you can get every seam, every curve, every everything.
37
There are methods to do this without taking the garment apart though it is a lot harder
38
and depends on the complexity of the garment as to whether how well
39
that works but this is really great
40
if you have say your favorite t -shirt your favorite pair of fitting pants to use
41
and it's a simple design you can probably get away with
42
just kind of deconstructing it without having to take your favorite
43
pair of pants apart you'll see at the end where I
44
talk about this where often a combination of these styles is where it works
45
and this is really great to reference the clothes
46
that you like we'll talk about
47
that later on you can modify an existing pattern be it a block a sloper a commercial pattern
48
and alter it to customize it to make your own pattern from there.
49
So this is using a flat pattern method where you have your 2D paper pattern pieces and we're, you know, reconstructing and redesigning them.
50
This is really quite accessible because there are so many commercial patterns available.
51
You've got blocks and slopers and the better fitting that block or sloper is to your body already, the less work you have to do.
52
So if you can take a well fitting one
53
and then make changes
54
so you can change the neckline change the hemline change from princess seams to darts
55
and change it up so it's the style that you want
56
so you pick something that is similar to your style
57
and then you change it up a little bit to be
58
your new style this happens again a lot in industry
59
when you see when you go into a store
60
and they have the same theme and vibe right
61
so anyone in Australia will know review I used to love their clothes you go in there
62
and it's all the same kind of like fitted dress right and it's just different versions of that same dress right
63
you've seen other stores do this that's because they're using the same block pattern
64
that same like master pattern and then just changing it up
65
so they're doing pleats on this skirt scoop neck on
66
that one you know sleeves on this one
67
and they're just changing it up and just like you
68
when you get a pattern envelope and you see
69
that there's different versions of the same dress it's the same thing
70
so you can learn to make all those little changes off a base pattern so you can draft from scratch.
71
So you can basically create that starting blocked sloper from scratch from your body measurements.
72
This is done a lot in my vintage sewing books that I see.
73
And they have all of these plotted out numbers of like
74
go up this far out this far to create all the curves and everything like that.
75
There are different systems
76
that you can use to sort of plot out using your own body measurements to get that starting sloper.
77
It's just a different way to to get to that result. So.
78
Again, you would want to either, you usually do that to start to create a block pattern to start with, and then you put the design on top of that basic kind of like plain garment.
79
And then you would design on top of that, you know, add your different design features and different like style of the garment after that.
80
This can be tricky because it does require a lot of pattern making knowledge
81
because you just know what shapes should look like, curves, what they should look like putting in all the right measurements
82
and all the right spots
83
and then having to design the actual pattern like your your garment then after it rather than just a block
84
so there is quite a lot of work involved
85
and I definitely think it's you know a higher level of entry to get into that one.
86
You can create your own patterns by draping so you use your fabric
87
and you create
88
and drape on a 3D object i .e the mannequin you've seen all those YouTube videos
89
and short Instagram reels of people like draping
90
and creating a garment from the mannequin this is what we
91
call draping method rather than the flat pattern method this is draping
92
so you kind of use the mannequin as your body
93
and you drape and you create the design of the garment on there
94
so you either have the choice
95
if you're making a one -off you can just sew it as is
96
or you take that off and then create a pattern from those pattern pieces
97
that you draped and marked on the mannequin a lot of pros
98
and negatives against that one it um is really great because
99
if you're really visual you think that seems great I'll just like drape it
100
and pin it where I want it and it can work like
101
that generally if you're doing a one -off I say
102
that does work really great you can just do it
103
when you're trying to create a pattern from
104
that it gets a bit harder
105
because you kind of have to make sure you have to do all the math right
106
because when you drape it that seems not the side is
107
that so you have to like match them all up make sure the back ones match up whereas
108
if you start with a sloper all
109
that kind of math to getting all the pattern pieces even to one another is already done
110
but from draping from scratch you have to make sure
111
that you do all of that and the other thing is is
112
that well I don't know about you
113
but it's really hard to find a mannequin that's exactly your body size
114
so very often uh you will see lots of people doing it
115
but they happen to be quite nice and slim and trim
116
and just happen to sort of fit the the mannequin size size
117
and it's not impossible you could just make your own mannequin
118
right I have a whole course in vintage sewing school on
119
how to like recreate your body shape even not just your size
120
but your shape into a mannequin and make your me mannequin as I call it
121
and so then you could drape onto that mannequin
122
but again still the same principles apply like that's a whole
123
nother thing you have to do is get your mannequin to your size
124
and then you have to learn the draping and everything like
125
that and if it's a one -off
126
or repeatable item you need to consider your in -time investment for it So there's lots of pros and cons there.
127
And then finally, you could have someone else make your pattern for you.
128
Yeah, it is a thing.
129
So you can actually contract out whether it's a local dress maker, someone of factory nearby or on fiverr .com online,
130
you can have someone make a pattern for you, be it in person or like, or a digital version, you know, digitally create the pattern.
131
You know, they're just different methods to create a pattern that you can still do the same.
132
So you absolutely.
133
If you're just well off and maybe that's worth the investment for you, that it's just in the way too hard basket, you really want your own pattern fitted to you, your body measurements, have someone else do it.
134
It might be worth it.
135
So what do I recommend though?
136
Because that's a lot of options and they're all quite different.
137
And well, as I was talked about earlier, often a combination of these is what is good,
138
but my preferred method and my one that I recommend to all my students because I think it gives us the most, it's a lot of work to create a pattern.
139
So you want to get the most amount of reward for that effort that you put in.
140
So what I found is that using a block pattern, a sloper, an existing commercial pattern, i .e preferably one that fits you well,
141
we'll get to that, then making changes to that is what works best.
142
So one, invest your time and effort energy into finding a simple, what I call a block pattern.
143
So it's just a basic shift dress, for example, right?
144
Or a basic a -line skirt or a basic pant, right?
145
These are our block patterns.
146
Invest the time in making all the mock -ups, all the twiles, all the everything that's required to get that to fit you really nice.
147
Because then once you do, you can just make a few small changes to the pattern to create a whole nother garment, right?
148
A whole nother look of a different thing.
149
So for example, on a dress, you can change the neckline, you can change the skirt to be pleats to be a
150
shift you can change where the darts are you can add
151
a short sleeve a long sleeve you can add a poofy
152
balloon sleeve you can you see what i mean right these are all little changes just like we talked about
153
when you look at the pattern envelope
154
and there's like six different styles you can learn to do
155
that very easily and when you've already invested the time
156
and energy into creating the right size
157
and fit pattern block all those fundamental print like pattern making foundational skills
158
that you've had to learn there to get that right.
159
That's all you need to then be able to do the design features that you want to change it up.
160
And so it's very little work at that point once you've got your pattern that fits you quite well.
161
That investment, that time, I feel is highly rewarded
162
when you just then change it up a little bit to create a new design.
163
And each time you do the design, I mean, you trace off the pattern and you make a whole another pattern.
164
You label it.
165
You give it a fancy name like all the pattern companies do.
166
You take records, photographs, because then that is that pattern
167
and you can just go
168
when you change like next time you want to make something you pick up
169
that new pattern
170
and you just make it all of the hard work of the fitting the designing the everything is already done
171
and that's when sewing becomes really quite quick is when we take
172
that all the pattern making out of the equation
173
so a combination of this is using that but then looking at clothes
174
that you already own not to say clone them
175
but to use them as examples you can measure ah the
176
crotch depth is this I look at the curve of the
177
crotch underneath for a pair of pants for example look at
178
how long the bodice into the waist is on your favorite dress
179
and it hits just at your waist you measure and you replicate
180
that on your block pattern so using your garments
181
that you use as references not say deconstructing them from scratch
182
then I would also use the mannequin not to drape a pattern
183
but I use it to have a look and like help design along the way so you can put it on, you can stand back, you have a look, you play around, you pin things on there,
184
pin things on there, and you see how well it works as you do stuff.
185
Not actually draping the pattern, but just using it to assess your design and style and make sure everything's flowing really nicely along in the process.
186
I have one final thought for you to ponder before you go off trying to make your own patterns.
187
And that is when you say, when people come to me and they say, I want to make my own patterns.
188
I say fantastic.
189
I am so excited for you.
190
The next thing I would say is that, well, when you do make your own pattern, remember that pattern that you make yourself doesn't come with sewing instructions.
191
So can you sew a pattern, any pattern, can you just pick up any pattern and sew it without written or anything sewing instructions?
192
I know now I really got you thinking.
193
So it is another consideration to make.
194
If you make it from scratch, it doesn't come with any sewing instructions.
195
So you need to have a certain level of sewing skill to be able to make something up.
196
And that is another reason why I think starting with commercial patterns
197
or a block or a sloper
198
that already has some sewing instructions with it is helpful because you can just make your slight alterations,
199
but the sewing methods will still pretty much be the same because it's almost identical, you know, like it's very similar style.
200
So you've got that help, that back up the support with those sewing instructions as well.
201
So just something for you to ponder when you think I want to make my own patterns.
202
I'll be making a follow -up video shortly about how to create your own pattern when you have non -standard measurements, right?
203
You're thinking that sounds great.
204
I've got a block, a slope, a commercial pattern, but my body measurements are nowhere near that.
205
How do I even start doing that process?
206
That's what I'm going to make a follow -up video about so I'd love to hear all your questions, pain, struggles down below because I'll help answer them in that next video.
207
Until next time my sewing friends, happy sewing.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
