Patternmaking Kit (half-scale) - let's get ready to make patterns!

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

Raindrop Roller

Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Thyroid Support & Young Living

I did a post for my private Facebook group recently on Thyroid support. That little thyroid sure does affect every part of our bodies! I personally have Hashimoto Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It is hereditary for me and we have many generations with hypothyroidism on my mother's side of the family.  There are many supplements that support the thyroid, but I am going to highlight my personal top 4. 1)Endoflex - supports the entire endocrine system. Apply over the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, vitaflex on feet, can be ingested and diffused. I apply to my thyroid and adrenals (kidney area on my back) morning and night.  2)Sulfurzyme - this is a capsule, I take 1-2 in the morning and night. This supports the entire body, helps the immune system, and joints (includi ng my back!)  3)Thyromin - Another capsule, I take two at night. Developed by Gary Young who no longer has a thyroid. This does not force thyroid to certain leve...

Purification spray to keep the odors away!

I made Purification spray today! It is just the right thing for sneakers, teen boy rooms, refreshing throw pillows, stale rooms and so much more! Here is how to make your own. Put 1 tsp baking soda in your bottle then fill nearly full with hot water from the tap. Put on the top and shake to dissolve the baking soda. Open back up and put in 10-20 drops of purification and shake again. My bottle was 4 oz so 15 drops was just right. I have made other room sprays with this same technique and different oils. Here is where I got my great bottles! Blue Spray Bottle
