Hi, for now the classes are only in English. However we are trying to find a good translator who can translate in Hindi but then the questions can be answered in English only.
A :
Hi,
You are welcome. Our teaching method is based on body measurements, however we will try to soon add a class on taking measurements from a ready blouse.
A :
Hi,
No I didn't but does it matter? Why didn't you feel the other way round :-). Just kidding.
Sometimes you may find similarities in some sewing techniques followed by different people as this skill has been there since ages and some techniques of sewing may be similar and practiced by different people around the world.
A :
No, there are changes.
A :
When drafting pattern, you use the armround [biceps] measurement. Armhole measurement is only used for cross checking - that is after drawing the armhole curves, measure the front and back curves and you should get your armhole measurement plus ease given on chest. If you get less/more, shift the chest line down/up and redraw the curves.
A :
Hi,
In the First class on taking body measurements, we have shown taking measurements on the mannequin. You would need to take your own measurements in the same way.
In the 2nd class on drafting pattern, we used the measurements of an actual person [not of the mannequin]. While drafting pattern, please use your measurements and not the measurements shown in the video.
After drafting the body pattern, always measure the armhole curve and ensure it is your body measurement plus ease given on chest. If less/more, shift the chest line down/up and redraw the curves.
After drafting sleeves pattern, measure the curves and match it with the body pattern. If the sleeves curve is less/more - increase/decrease the ease and redraw the curves.
A :
For Kurtis/dress we have explained taking the waist measurement in our free tutorial on taking body measurements. Waist length is taken till the smallest part of the waist. If in doubt, you may bend to one side and wherever the waist bends would be the point where you need to take the waist length. For other garments it is explained in the respective classes.
