NOTE
PATTERN DRAFTING
Pattern drafting is the process of creating a paper template from which garments are constructed. This template is made according to specific measurements and design details and serves as a blueprint for cutting fabric pieces that will be sewn together to create clothing.
Tools and Equipment Used in Pattern Drafting
- Pattern Paper: Special paper used for drafting patterns. It can be plain or dotted for ease of measurements.
- Measuring Tape: A flexible tape measure used to take body measurements.
- Rulers: Straight rulers and curved rulers (French curves) for drawing lines and curves accurately.
- Pencils and Pens: Used for marking lines and notes on the pattern paper.
- Erasers: To correct mistakes during drafting.
- Pattern Weights: Used to hold down pattern paper on the fabric or cutting surface.
- Scissors: Paper scissors for cutting patterns and fabric scissors for cutting fabric.
- Notcher: A tool used to make notches in the pattern for alignment during sewing.
- Tracing Wheel and Carbon Paper: Used to transfer pattern markings onto the fabric.
- Dress Form: A mannequin used to drape fabric and check the fit of the pattern.
- Tape (Masking or Scotch): Used to hold pattern pieces together temporarily.
Pattern Markings and Symbols
Pattern markings and symbols are essential for understanding how to assemble the garment pieces correctly. Below are some common markings:
- Grainline: A long arrow that indicates the direction of the fabric grain. The pattern piece should be aligned parallel to the selvage (the finished edge of the fabric).
- Cutting Line: A solid line around the edge of the pattern piece. This line shows where to cut the fabric.
- Seam Allowance: The area between the cutting line and the stitching line. The standard seam allowance is usually 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) but can vary depending on the pattern.
- Stitching Line: A broken line inside the cutting line indicating where to sew. Not always marked, as it’s often the edge of the seam allowance.
- Notches: Small marks or triangles along the edge of the pattern piece used to match up seams. They help align pieces accurately.
- Darts: Marked with a V shape, darts are used to shape the fabric around the body, typically at the bust, waist, or hips.
- Fold Line: A line that indicates the edge of the fabric should be placed on the fold, creating a double layer of fabric.
- Dots, Squares, and Circles: Used for various purposes, such as indicating the start and stop points for stitching or the placement of pockets, zippers, or other details.
