Videos

There are 2 versions of the Bodice Block instructions: 

• the first version uses Metric measurements (for 95% of the world's population)
• the second version uses Imperial measurements (for Americans, Liberians and the Myanmarese, or the other 5%).

The Bodice Block instructions are split between 2 videos: Bodice Front & Bodice Back.

The Sleeve Block is separate; there is only one version of the Sleeve Block and Imperial measurements are used.

There are 5 videos within the Pants Block instruction series.   When I started the series I couldn't work out how to write instructions that worked for all body types.  If  I were to redo these videos (and that is to say if I had the time to), I might be able to condense them all into 2 videos - measurements and the instructions.  However, as it is now, there are 5 videos. 

1. Taking measurements to draft the Pants Block
2. Drafting the Pants Block for the Standard Figure (everyone should use these instructions).  At the end of these instructions the block will not fit all figure types; the following 3 videos show how different figures will have different issues and the adjustmets they need to make.
3. The final three videos work through the following issues:
   
   • The Pear shaped body
   • The Square shaped body
   • The Apple shaped body

There is only one version of the Drafting the Sleeve Block video, with Imperial Measurements.

There are some blog posts that might be of interest if you would like to understand the sleeve better:
