Pattern Drafting 3

During class this week we learned how to draft a pattern for dresses. We start out by drawing our ideas on a drafting sheet. The sheet contains all the information you need to draft and sew your pattern, including description, fabric, hem length, etc.

Once you have drawn out your ideas you need to transfer them to your dress block. The block is a plain dress cut out on which you draw the neckline, hemline and any other detail you need before you cut out your fabric.

Here is a picture of the finished dress.
