Sew Custom's video: Five More Beginner Patterning Techniques

Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I draft a very basic wrap bodice pattern 👍 I’ve used this basic technique over and over again as a starting point for most of the wrap dresses you have seen on my channel. I show how to remove gape from the centre front and then go on to show three basic techniques to change up the pattern. And for even more variety the base can be substituted for any woven base resulting in different looks 👌I hope that those of you that are thinking of getting into to drafting enjoy and find the video useful.
