At the third part of the lesson we will build the pattern according to the sketch. We are having now the basis and prepared dress layout (figures a and b).
At the third part of the lesson we will build the pattern according to the sketch. We are having now the basis and prepared dress layout (figures a and b).
First we need to transfer the front of the dress to paper. Match the middle of the basis and the middle of front of the dress layout transferring the top edge (figure c).
The calyx parts are matched with the line transfered from the part 1, outline it (figure d).
Transfering the relief line from the part 1 (figure e).
The part 2 is aligned by the waist, hips and side seam, transfering the upper edge line with the relief on the basis (figure f).
Tutorials
Today I would like to show you how I'm making clothes patterns for my dolls. This is the first part and here I will tell you how to make a pattern basis. You will need: 1) food film 2) scotch tape 3) scissors 4) doll
First you need to slice a food film on narrow strips (figure a). After you have finished the body wrapping, including shoulders and hips, take a scotch tape.
In the same way wrap the body with narrow strips of the scotch tape above the food film (figure b). Do not leave the food film not covered by the scotch tape. This is important!
When you finish with the scotch tape and you don't see uncovered space take a permanent marker. Be very carefull with the marker. Try to draw lines on the tape surface, do not draw on the doll plastic. * If you accidentally spoiled the doll to remove the marks try melanine sponge or nail polish remover. First draw a main lines of the middle of front, back and side seam. 1)front middle line 2)back middle line 3)side seam line
Then we draw a chest circumference line. Draw a line around the body through the chest extending points (figure d).
Draw the waist circumference line (line 1) and hips line (line 2) (figure e).
