What is patternmaking?
As this is my first post, I would like to explain what patternmaking is.
I am creating this post to those that are unfamiliar with the basics of patternmaking. As part of my journey, I want to become a teacher; and I think this is a good platform to improve those skills. All critical feedback is appreciated.
Patternmaking is the process of designing garments from homemakers to mass productions. This process uses a preexisting basic garment template. I refer to it as a sloper, which is drafted and fitted before it's used by a patternmaker.
The sloper is then traced onto pattern paper. After this, the trace outline is then manipulated in the following areas:
• dart manipulation
• seams
• fullness
• pleats
I will explain each category in the upcoming posts. I will also explain the tools in more details as well.
