Pattern Making
What do you man by pattern making ?
Pattern making is conversion of fabric (a piece of cloth) into garment . It is really simple if its basic principle learnt throughly.
Basic principles are :
1. Drafting : By refering the analysis and measurement what we mark on the paper is known as drafting.
2. Construction : By refering the analysis and measurement what we mark on the fabric known as construction.
3. Cutting : After drafting and construction when we cut known as cutting.
4. Garment construction : After cutting the fabric when we stitch fabric called garment construction .
Points which need to be remember while drafting
1. Drafting has to be done always on folding means fabric should be fold.
2. Drafting should be done extreme top to bottom and extreme left to right.
3. Front and back bodice should be drafted separately .
4. before drafting make sure lines on the brown paper should be vertical or length wise.
Body measurement :
Measurement plays a major role in the development of basic pattern set. garment construction is only based on measurements so , it is very important for a dress maker how to take the measurement.
There are two types of measurement :
A) Horizontal :
Measurement taken in width called horizontal measurement.
Accross shoulder , Bust line , waist round , upper chest or lower chest round , thigh round , knee round , hip or seat round , ankle round , sleeves round , cuff round , cullf round .
B) Vertical :
Measurement taken in width called vertical measurement.
Top length , waist length , front neck length , back neck length , trouser length etc.
TOOLS AND EQUIPEMENTS WHICH WE USED :
1. Cutting Table : A flat working surface . its minimum dimension should be 48" to 30" .
2. Needle Set :
Many types of needle set are made for sewing techniques. they are vary according to the eye shape (long , oval , or round ) and in length point (Sharp , blunt , wedge )
3. Measurement Tape :
These are used for drafting , draping , and measurements. It is made up of fine oil cloth. its length is 60" and Width is 1/2 " .
4. 1/4th scale :
Its a pare triangle scale then ever quarter inch on the measurement tape says 1" on the 1/4"th scale.its use is to make draft on record sheet.
5. Scissor :
Required for cutting the fabric and paper.
BASIC BODY DRAFT FOR KIDS :
FRONT BODICE
Measurements :
CHEST : 24"
LENGTH : 11"
SHOULDER : 10"
FND (FRONT NECK DEEP) : 4"
BND (BACK NECK DEEP) : 3"
W.R (WAIST ROUND) : 22"
Analysis :
0 TO 1 : LENGTH + 2"
0 TO 2 : FND ,
0 TO 3 : 1/12th CHEST
0 TO 4 : 1/2 SHOULDER
0 TO 5 : 1/4th CHEST + 1 1/2" 0 TO 5 = 1 TO 7
4 TO 6 : 1/4th CHEST
4 TO 8 : 3/4" (IT WILL BE SAME IN EVERY MEASUREMENT) O 11
4 TO 5 = 6 TO 10
6 TO 9 : 1"
1 TO 11 : 1/4" WAIST ROUND + 1 1/2"
11 TO 12 : 1" WAIST SHAPE
BACK BODICE
Analysis :
0 TO 13 : BND
6 TO 14 : 1 1/2"
REST ALL MEASUREMENTS WILL BE THE SAME
