You know,
Pattern-making is not as difficult as you might think. And it isn’t all that we do
here. As a matter of fact, we do sewing tutorials as well. But you see, cutting fabrics
into various styles has always been a problem for most sewists. This is why we take
a lot more time teaching folks how to draft patterns.
So all you really have to do is imagine the pattern papers as your fabric and follow
the procedures one step at a time”
Trust me, you’ll love it. 
