Answers to common questions that come up on my bodice and coat block drafting video's

Whether you're drafting a fitted block, a semi-fitted, a coat or a t-shirt block, the principle is always the same. Please note that the dart on the semi fitted block is not as wide as on the fitted block. The same questions come up again and again, so in this video I'll answer them all for you. This isn't a fitting video, although I have links below to a few of those. This is for help with the actual drafting process.
