In this session, I transferred the draped skirt onto a paper pattern, making necessary adjustments and adding seam allowances. I ensured the darts were positioned correctly, matched the hip and waistlines, and adjusted the length.
I meticulously transferred the draped skirt design onto a paper pattern, carefully aligning the darts, curves, and seam lines to create an accurate sewing pattern with proper seam allowances.
Lesson Steps:
- Traced the skirt outline onto dotted paper, marking key points like darts, hip and waist lines
- Adjusted the dart positioning slightly towards the side seam for a better fit
- Closed the darts and reshaped the waistline curve
- Added a 1/2 inch seam allowance around the hip line
- Softened the sharp hip curve for a smoother line
- Matched the side seams, adjusting the length as needed
- Added a 1/2 inch seam allowance all around, including the center back
- Labeled the pattern pieces with grainline, cutting instructions and size
