Yup, no complaints about adding ‘ed’; that’s why I specifically mentioned that it’s the lack of ‘r’ that I was correcting.

Just discovered. I’ve had an interest in minimal/zero-waste “folk” and historic fashion for a while. RavensWatchFarm series on medieval European patternmaking is helping me wrap my brain around some concepts.

I clicked on your link and skipped ahead to the fabric selection chapter of that RavensWatch farm video, and that sounds like good advice. Now I’m sort of intrigued!
Rectangular patterned clothing definitely seems OG (especially for us peasants), so it’d be fun to learn about it. Anyone else look at 2-D curvy patterns and have a hard time imagining how that fits on a body in 3-D, 
?
Just out of curiosity, are there any particularly popular channels that you find provide less than ideal advice?
In one of her Craftsy videos, Janet Pray comments about sewing sites that teach bad drafting & sewing skills because they don’t understand the theory of patternmaking or how a sewing machine works.
That list would blow out this server’s capacity :-). Seriously, the good ones are a small proportion so it’s best to concentrate on them. Janet Pray used to be Islander Sewing, and she’s one of the greats. Used to do production sewing in her youth, so into teaching you fast and straightforward methods. Decades of teaching experience so usually makes it easy to understand. If you retain nothing but how to do without pins, or with less pins, you’re way ahead
