In this guide, I teach how to make adjustments to the Charlie Cocktail Dress pattern, such as tightening the top and skirt, modifying the draping effect, and fine-tuning the overall fit.

In this guide, I share some of my sketches that were published along with other people's work, around 2008 / 2009.

I demonstrate how to create a relaxed and effortless dress with adjustable straps and an optional center back opening. I show the steps to finish the dress, including adding a waistband, pockets, and hemming with a bias strip. The key is to play around with the straps to achieve the desired silhouette before finalizing the length and shape.

This guide demonstrates how to draft a knit t-shirt pattern from a fitted bodice block pattern. It covers converting the bodice block into a basic t-shirt shape, adjusting for stretch at the neckline and bust, and drafting a sleeve. Additionally, it shows how to create an oversized t-shirt variation by slashing and spreading the pattern pieces.

In this guide, I teach how to draft a custom-fitted jersey knit skirt pattern tailored to your body measurements, fabric stretch, and desired skirt silhouette, including front and back pieces, waistband, and adjustments for body shape variations.

How to create a dropped shoulder sleeve with an extended back yoke and a box pleat at the center back, including steps for marking notches, matching fold lines, and stitching the yoke to the bottom piece.

This guide teaches how to identify fabric grains, understand their stretch properties, and use this knowledge to achieve desired draping, fit, and design effects when constructing garments.

I share my recent fabric shopping trip where I bought a variety of fabrics from high-end designers like Oscar de la Renta, Caroline Herrera, and Sies Marjan. I share my excitement over finding unique and luxurious fabrics like silk jersey, crinkled bonded vinyl, silk gazar, and brocades, and discuss my ideas for creating interesting garments by combining unexpected fabric pairings.

I discuss different sewing techniques, pattern making methods, and provide an overview of various fashion designers and their influential works, particularly focusing on the draping techniques pioneered by Madeleine Vionnet, Charles James, and Halston. I also recommend several books as resources for learning about fabrics, sewing techniques, and fashion design principles.

I demonstrate the process of exploring and experimenting with fabric manipulation techniques. I start by placing a design element, such as pleats or origami folds, on a fabric and then shape it around the body, allowing the fabric to guide the design process. This exploratory approach encourages creativity and helps develop a unique design without a predetermined plan.

I demonstrate various draping techniques using different types of fabrics like jersey, brocade cotton, and an interlock knit material. I show how folding and manipulating the fabric in different ways can create unique drapes, silhouettes, and design details for dresses and skirts.

In this guide, I demonstrate the process of transforming an existing t-shirt into a pattern by laying it flat, pinning it to a paper, and tracing the outline. I provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly align the t-shirt pieces, mark the necessary points, and transfer the front, back, and sleeve sections onto the paper to create a reusable pattern.
