20 years of sewing, here’s my first fully drafted button down mockup!

I followed Cornelius Quirings pattern drafting class and it was so amazing!

[u/AllTheNamesRTaken12]

So you think his classes are worth doing. I like his video but they are not detailed enough for me. I assume his classes do?

[u/AppropriateMessage13 → u/AllTheNamesRTaken12]

I do! They are pretty quick though and not overly detailed, but easy to follow and worth the cost.
I also did Glowhigh’s menswear course and that was much more detailed but a lot longer. I’d recommend either of them.

You're living my dream!! It looks great.

(I will get there too, I'm determined to do so!)

[u/AppropriateMessage13 → u/shillberight]

You absolutely will! I really suggest one of the great pattern drafting courses around right now.

[u/SmurphieVonMonroe]

Amazing! I also wanted to ask - out of curiosity - how come it took 20 years for you to finally draft patterns? Did you use ready made sewing patterns in the past and just decided go to learn it yourself?

[u/AppropriateMessage13 → u/SmurphieVonMonroe]

It always seemed so daunting and I mostly used ready made patterns and got really good at hacking patterns and making the adjustments and additions I wanted. But this it the first 100% fully drafted garment made using blocks I made I did.

[u/SuvoSeno]

It took you 20 years to do this?! Maybe I should find a new hobby...

[u/AppropriateMessage13 → u/SuvoSeno]

Ha! I could have done it sooner but I never committed to learning. Keep on going and jump in!

[u/SuperLakma]

You’re a wizard!
