In this session, I taught how to transfer the draped skirt onto a pattern paper. I marked all the important points like center front, center back, side seams, and fold lines on the draped fabric before transferring it to the pattern paper.
Lesson Steps:
- Mark the fold line where the fabric was folded and sewn together as Step 1 in red.
- Mark the waistline in blue, tracing the front and back waistline separately.
- Identify and mark the center front, center back, and side seams on the draped fabric.
- Adjust the center back line to be on the straight grain, if needed, to avoid stretching.
- Transfer all markings accurately onto the dot paper to create the skirt pattern piece.
- Ensure all crucial information like fold lines, seam allowances, and grain lines are clearly marked on the pattern.
