In this lesson, I taught how to transfer a draped twist muslin into a pattern. I demonstrated the process of flattening the muslin, pinning it to dotted paper, and transferring the markings with a tracing wheel. I also showed how to true the pattern pieces and add necessary adjustments.

Lesson Steps:

  1. Carefully remove the draped muslin from the dress form
  2. Flatten the muslin pieces with a hot iron (no steam)
  3. Pin the flattened muslin to dotted paper
  4. Transfer markings using a tracing wheel
  5. Draw and clean up pattern lines (armhole, side seam, waistline, etc.)
  6. True the pattern pieces and make necessary adjustments
  7. Add ease and adjust for fabric stretch if needed
  8. Create facing pieces (optional)
  9. Add seam allowances
  10. Include pattern information (dress name, size, seam allowance, etc.)
  11. Consider hem and finishing options based on fabric choice
