Thank you so much for all the downloads. I’m new here, and need to brush up on my patternmaking and grading, so this is a wonderful website to find.
Thank You so much for this information, really appreciate it
You’re so welcome!
I have happened to find your blog through Pinterest, I am very much interested in the tools you mentioned in this post, I wonder where I can buy some of these tools like French curve and Vary Form. I would very much appreciate if you can suggest where I can find them. Thank you so much.
Hi there, I purchase most of my tools from Amazon. Check out this page ➤ http://isntthatsew.org/resources/
i am from Nigeria. i appreciate your insightful teachings on pattern making and the likes. you really make sewing more interesting and easy for me.
now i understand the different and most important tools i require because when i started i was at loss on what tools to use and i made several errors in my measurements.
now i feel more confident and better equipped to arrange my sewing corner and sew better garments for my self.
i will subscribe to your resources and dilligently follow through to know better.
i hope you will find time to share on making a sloper and a lady’s pant (trouser).
thanks so much
Thanks for your kind words! I’m working on the trousers.
Hola! hay forma de tener un patron para hacer Vary form y french curv en casa? vivo en Argentina y no creo que lo envíen.. Susan
Hi Susan, You can try to do a web search for printable french curve and see what you come up with. Also, if you are able to find once, you could trace it onto a piece of cardboard to make it more sturdy. Good luck!
Thank you for your tutorials. I will use them and return with the results.
Wonderful! I live in Connecticut and I plan on going to the garment district in NYC sometime this month. I love browsing through the maze of fabric in the fabric shops, but because of a pending move back to Chicago, I WILL NOT buy any fabric as I have so much of it! There is one store in particular (the name escapes me at the moment) that sells the tools you mention. I will go for the purpose of purchasing some of the pattern drafting tools. I was/am never comfortable buying the tools on the internet because until a few days ago, I lacked the knowledge of what it was I was looking for, let alone if what I was buying would serve my purpose. Because of the photo you attached I now am able to see how the T-square is an important tool especially when creating armholes (as I get older my figure is changing and I need to make changes on the patterns). Thank you for the wonderful information. I am very grateful.
