Lovely tops, I bet they are lovely to wear.

@Esme866 Had to smile at your layout change gripe. It’s been hitting my little town here too. The biggest supermarket is having an extension built, good luck chasing down your goods in the constantly changing melee. Aldi keeps getting hit with shortages, and randomly changing round the shelves - why?
When I first moved here we had a fabric store. It closed when the owner retired. Sadly nobody took it over.

Nice ruffles and an idea to bookmark if the sleeves turn out a bit shorter than planned 

Such a nice neckline, it makes the garment special.

Notches- those on the edge I mark by taking a small snip into the seam allowances at right angles. Inner markings I make by pushing a lace pin through the tissue into both layers of fabric, and when the tissue is eased off the tiny pin head either chalking where the pins sit or putting a lace pin in each layer to mark the place. This is mainly for dart points. All of this depends on the fabric a bit of course, as well as the complications of the pattern. A loose weave tweed needs a different technique.

Looks great, just perfect for this iffy weather we’re having.

As others have said, initially drafting doesn’t let you off the fitting hook. You draft a block to your personal measurements, but then need to sew it up in calico, fit it ( don’t overfit!) and transfer any alterations back to the block. After this stage, which can be slow and tedious if you don’t have a fitting buddy, you have the means to draft styles and know that they will fit, usually without further fitting hours.
What drafting doesn’t do is guarantee that you will be pleased with every aspect of the design, so you may still find yourself modifying your first stab at a pattern. That bit has been done for you when you buy a pattern. For example, how much gathering in the layers? All of the bust dart used in neck gathers, or just some of it? How deep and in what proportions the tiers.
To start drafting you need basic maths and good accuracy and an eye for shapes. I used to think it was a walk in the park until in teaching it I met students who couldn’t eyeball lines and shapes or recognise a right angle when they saw it, and some who couldn’t figure how an asymmetric line had to go as it wrapped round the body.
I would encourage anyone to learn drafting because I find fitting other people’s patterns a PITA, but many brilliant dressmakers get along just fine and never want to embark on that journey.
