  1. Hi thanks for the tutorials, these are great!

    Was wondering if you had anything for childrenwear as well as the womenswear and menswear blocks?

  2. hi, love your site. I am a newbie in pattern making(have used commercial).
    QUICK QUESTION PLEASE! I am actually opposite to most crafters.. or fashion designers(generalization_ no harm intended:)_
    Do u have any tips or resources you could point me to – where i can learn the actual MATHEMATICAL formulas and relations to pattern drafting?
    I am actually more of a math person , say, then that of artist of any sort. I HAVE READ TRADITIONAL PATTERN DRAFTING BOOKS AND PATTERN DRAFTING SOFTWARES. But i am one of those who is bad at following step by step directions(not my forte).
    Assuming all these softwares are using vector relations to convert these patterns, i am sure there is more math based explanation of pattern drafting…. but i cant seem to find any.
    based on my understanding, it involves trigs and geometry(obviously) and some aspects of multivariable calculus(VECTOR0 and topology(?).
    ie. dart- based on trigs and some derivitives(TO FIND MAX /MIN for the say the highest point on the z- plane…

    I DONT MEAN TO SOUND DRY_ BUT I REALLY AM JUST ONE OF THOSe who can do certain complaex stuff and not able to do simpler things..

    ANy advice tips and direction in which you can point me to- say – for math relationship of pattern drafting (even if it’s only on just SLOPERS-it’s fine)? I don’t mean those simple math info tutorials- i.e. multiply by K HERE AND DIVIDE BY H HERE.
    i guess what i am asking for is overall conceptual/concrete mathmatical relationships explaining the drafting of sewing patterns.

    I am not too advanced in math to decipher by myself. I have reviewed the golden ratio and etc but kind of lost. thanks.

  3. Hey. I am wondering if I can use this for menwear? Do I need different patterns for menswear?
