In this session, I taught how to transfer the draped muslin back bodice pattern onto dotted paper to create a clean, final pattern. We traced all the lines carefully, marking important points like darts, shoulder blades, and bust lines.

Lesson Steps:

• Mark the center back, side seams, shoulder blade line, bust line, and waistline on the muslin
• Pin the muslin onto the dotted paper, aligning with the grid lines
• Trace all lines using a tracing wheel, marking darts, armholes, and neckline
• Draw the center back line straight, making 90-degree corners
• Draw the side seam straight with 90-degree corners
• Trace the bust line and shoulder blade line
• Draw the shoulder line, marking the shoulder point at 90 degrees
• Trace around the neckline
• Mark the punch hole circle to indicate dart direction
• Draw dart lines following the tracing wheel marks
• Lightly draw the armhole and neckline
• Find the center of each dart and draw a straight line from there to the punch hole
• Adjust any curved or misaligned lines to be straight and smooth
• Ensure the shoulder seam is drawn straight, not curved
