In this lesson, I taught how to create a very close fitting full body jersey sloper. I demonstrated how to transfer measurements from a dress form to paper, make necessary adjustments, and finalize the pattern for both front and back pieces.
Lesson Steps:
- Pin and transfer the front piece to paper, aligning with the grid
- Draw lines for center front, neckline, shoulder, armhole, and bust line
- Measure and adjust the front piece as needed
- Transfer and adjust the back piece, matching side seams with the front
- Correct shoulder measurements on both pieces
- Refine neckline and armhole shapes
- Soften and round out side seams
- Label the pattern pieces (no seam allowance added)
- Finalize the very close fitting full body jersey sloper
This sloper can be used as a base for various tops and as a lining for draped garments. It’s a versatile tool for future projects in stretch fabrics.
