    @jeanewart82 Před 2 lety +2

    The slash and spread is better the flare falls evenly. The free hand method if you add to much to the side seam it will not distribute evenly and with flap on the side seam

  • @euchariadonokolo714
    @euchariadonokolo714 Před 3 lety +3

    Thanks for this tutorial. Pls Why Was the slash on the center front different from the back. I mean the way you slash the front at the kneel area is not same with the back. On the front panel, u only slash through one side of the kneel area while at center back, u slash through both sides.
    Thanks.

    • @TaylorMadeDesignsSewing
      @TaylorMadeDesignsSewing  Před 3 lety +1

      Hello thank you for watching. The reason why I slash towards the side of the front and not towards the center front is because I did want to distort the shape of the center front. If you spread the front it’s going to look weird because it is going to be protruding and you want the front to lay flat while most of the fullness is at the side and back, I hope you understand what I mean

    • @TaylorMadeDesignsSewing
      @TaylorMadeDesignsSewing  Před 2 lety +1

      Try cutting the pattern on a cheap fabric to see the fit then you can make the necessary adjustment. You could use crinoline to give it the wavy look at the bottom

    • @TaylorMadeDesignsSewing
      @TaylorMadeDesignsSewing  Před 3 lety +1

      Hello it depends on how much flare you want and what size you are. The trick I use is multiplying my hip by two or three to find out how much fabric I need for my flare. Best taylorMade
