Reference garment: Adererror Black & Blue Milos Jacket

Basic block: Aldrich Flat Kimono Block. The orginal instruction has built-in seam allowance at certain part. I adjusted the values so that I don’t have to remove the built-in allowance afterward.

Collar: Loosely based on Aldrich “standing straight collar”

Fabric: Woven. Nylon.

Not recorded: The stylelines/panels are just "cut and sew" and merging at some parts. Pockets, changing the fabric, topstitch, puckering, piping, trim etc. If your design is asymmetrical, you first need to “disable linked editing” on the patterns involved.

Minus 1 cm for figure shorter than 170 cm. #2 – The sleeve is trimmed to compensate for shoulder drop. #3 – I do not apply actual zipper at this stage because cutting and merging operation to make the stylelines/panels later often disturb the zipper. Replace this strip with actual zipper toward the end. #4 – Shortcut key Alt + 2 to reveal the “wrong side” as darker surface. Alt + 1 for normal fabric appearance. #5 – Further detailing include stylelines/panels, pockets, changing the fabric, topstitch, puckering, piping, trim etc. If your design is asymmetrical, you first need to “disable linked editing” on the patterns involved. 00:00 preview 00:09 basic "kimono" draft 06:46 tracing and fitting 11:51 collar 15:43 short sleeve 16:08 waistband 16:51 zipper

Any plans to share the full process for Patreon members?

Very unlikely for this one because I did not record it. Just a lot of trial and error to get the right stylelines matching the actual jacket. Editing the video for the whole process if very time consuming so for the next garment I planned to just record everything beyond the basic block real time including all the back-and-forth trial and error. I think it is a good compromise you guys can still see what I do while not much extra time required for editing. But it will be hours of footage. I may as well just stream it, maybe.

Streaming would be a really dope approach. I do think it’s useful to show more of the insights to the projects you do beyond the basic blocks for those who are a little more advance and want some more in depth detailing to complex finishes.

How to add the draw cords? I’m making a jacket with the same feature

Najdmie

The drawcord in this is a obj model I made in blender, that I import as trim. Maybe you can download similar trim from Clo library
