  Welcome to pattern making class! We will start off with some basics that will be used all the time. I show how to move the dart ease to the hem, add additional fullness to the hem and add godets. All the patterns I make are done in half scale. The resources video is linked below and in the video. I think it really helps to see how the patterns look when sewn up. So the end of the video shows our work in muslin. Now go forth and create! My TeeSpring Shop :  Sewing With Stacy Facebook Community:  

  I have lots of t-shirts that fit fine but aren't long enough. They are perfect for this kind of project. I even show how to use the leftover t-shirt fabric to make a pocket!  Check out my first go at this project here where I make a children's version.

Hello pattern makers!  Let's get our pattern-making kit together. First, you need a set of slopers. A sloper is a set of basic patterns without ease and no seam allowance. There are sets for sale online but you can get a copy free here from Iowa State University.  It will automatically download a Printable PDF. Click here to get a printable copy of the half-scale slopers. Once you print them off it is best to copy them to posterboard or tagboard.  You can glue the printed sheet down or trace it off. Whichever you prefer. This is important to help keep the integrity of the pattern as you trace it over and over. Watch below to see how I prepared mine and what supplies I prefer. List of supplies: Clear grid ruler Hip Curve  3 colors of pencils or makers Tape dispenser with clear tape Pattern paper, like architects tracing, exam table paper, or tissue paper Slopers Tape Measure get the Ruler set here get the Fashion drawing templates here
