How to Use a Block Pattern

Using a block pattern effectively involves several steps to ensure the creation of well-fitting, stylish garments. Below is a detailed guide on how to use a block pattern:

  1. Prepare the Block Pattern: Ensure that your block pattern (bodice, skirt, pant, sleeve, or dress block) is accurate and fits well. This might involve making a muslin to test the fit.
  2. Trace the Block:

   - Lay the block pattern on pattern paper or tracing paper.

   - Trace around the block pattern pieces carefully. Be sure to mark key points such as bust points, waistline, hipline, and any dart positions.

  1. Add Design Lines:

   - Based on your design sketch, draw the new style lines onto the traced block. This could include changing necklines, adding style lines, or modifying the length.

   - Ensure to mark new seam lines, darts, pleats, or gathers.

  1. Modify the Fit: Adjust the pattern to add ease or remove excess fabric based on the garment’s desired fit. For instance, add more ease for a looser fit or take it in for a more fitted garment.
  2. Add Seam Allowances: Once the new design lines are in place, add seam allowances around the edges of the pattern pieces. Common seam allowances range from 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm, depending on the garment type and fabric.
  3. Create Additional Pattern Pieces:

   - If your design includes additional elements like collars, cuffs, or pockets, create separate pattern pieces for these elements. These can be drafted from the block pattern by extending or reshaping existing parts.

  1. Label the Pattern Pieces: Clearly label each pattern piece with the garment name, piece name (e.g., front bodice, back bodice), cut instructions (e.g., cut 2, cut on fold), and any other relevant details (e.g., grainline, notches).
  2. Test the Pattern: Make a test garment or muslin using the new pattern to check the fit and design. This step is crucial to identify any adjustments needed before cutting the final fabric.

Adaptation of Block for a Required Style

Adapting a block pattern to achieve a specific style involves creative modifications.

Approach:

  1. Selecting the Block: Start with a basic pattern or block that closely matches the desired garment's shape, such as a dress block for a dress design.
  2. Analyzing the Required Style: Study the style requirements carefully, considering factors like silhouette, neckline, sleeves, length, and any specific design elements or details.
  3. Making Adjustments: Modify the block pattern according to the style requirements. This may involve altering the neckline shape, adjusting the length, adding or removing darts for shaping, changing the sleeve style, or incorporating any other design elements.
  4. Creating a Prototype: Use muslin or inexpensive fabric to create a prototype or toile of the adapted pattern. This allows you to test the fit and make any necessary adjustments before cutting into the final fabric.
  5. Refining the Design: Evaluate the prototype on a dress form or model, making any further adjustments for fit, proportion, and style details. This step may involve multiple iterations until the desired look is achieved.
  6. Finalizing the Pattern: Once satisfied with the prototype, transfer any changes back to the paper pattern, creating the final pattern for the garment.
  7. Cutting and Sewing: Use the finalized pattern to cut the garment pieces from the chosen fabric and then sew them together according to the pattern instructions, paying attention to details like seam finishes and closures.
  8. Finishing Touches: Complete the garment by adding any finishing touches, such as hemming, pressing, and adding embellishments or trims as needed.
