This course is the primary reason that I signed up for Curiosity. After successfull completing Lesson 1, I started Lesson 2. Lesson 2 takes the measurements acquired in Lesson 1 and teaches how to draft the first part of the front bodice. PROBLEM: The video skips the first few measurements to plot. Without the beginning, there can be no continuation. I've tried the video on the desktop, an IPad and an IPhone with no success. Has anyone else had this problem?

Lesson 1 starting at about 9 minutes and 6 seconds in, we start drafting the pattern and plotting points. When lesson 2 starts we continue with these points already done. I think you might not have finished lesson 1.

Thank you so much. My husband helped me with the measurements and apparently I did NOT go all the way to the end. My deepest appologies.
Additionally, I began the pants drafting and have one question: Is it possible to have the side seam shorter than the center front due to a large belly? I ask this because it is difficult to draft the waistline.
The BEST part is that I have diligently looking for "how to draft blocks/slopers." I purchased books, but your videos are far SUPERIOR. THX

thanks for the kind words. I understand what you're saying and if it were me, I would go ahead and just make the center front line longer. Yes, it may distort the pattern so it looks different than mine, but you won't know how it'll work until you make the muslin. You just need to baste the pieces together enough to try it on and then you can always make adjustments to the pattern if you need it. the important part is they feel comfortable. :)
