Episode 46—Developing a Love of Pattern Drafting
Today’s guest is a young man from Canada who has channeled his passion for sewing into an entertaining and informative YouTube channel. Because of a childhood injury to one side of his body, Cornelius Quiring was inspired to begin making himself custom clothing. Along the way, he taught himself the fundamentals of pattern drafting and now wants to share that knowledge with his audience. Cornelius tackles everything from shirts to coats to pants, and even though he concentrates on menswear, the principles he covers are applicable to garments for many different kinds of bodies. Toward the end of the interview, Cornelius turned the tables and asked a few questions of your host. I think you’ll find our discussion just as entertaining as Cornelius’s YouTube channel.
