How to turn your favorite clothing into sewing patterns - no cutting, unpicking, or awkward tracing required! This easy poking technique works for copying or "knocking off" most types of garments (only wouldn't recommend on very delicate fabric), and gives a more accurate pattern copy than many tracing methods. With your new pattern you can then either sew a duplicate or alter the pattern for a better fit or different design. :) Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:56 Supplies 01:33 Set-up 02:00 Tracing Seams 03:57 Drawing Pattern 05:00 Neckband 05:22 Sleeve 06:37 Finishing Pieces 07:24 Tips for Other Types of Garments 07:54 Darts 08:36 Outro #sewing #patternmaking #sewinghacks Thanks for watching #MyGreenCloset! 📗 Get the Quit Fast Fashion ebook - your guide to building a conscious closet https://mygreencloset.com/quit-fast-f... 👗 Find brands in my sustainable/ethical shopping guide http://mygreencloset.com/directory/ Join the My Green Closet Subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/MyGreenCloset 📰 Subscribe to the MGC Monthly Newsletter https://www.subscribepage.com/mygreen... 🕮 Check out the books I recommend reading https://bookshop.org/shop/MyGreenCloset 💚 ABOUT MY GREEN CLOSET Hi!
