A New Approach to Pattern Cutting
Pattern cutting is a vast subject, and everyone I have ever worked with has a slightly different way of doing things. This is neither right nor wrong, but shows that there are many ways to create a pattern and therefore a garment. Lots of books get straight to the nitty gritty and start drafting from a given set of measurements and assumptions.
What I do here, is to look at the why as well as the how of pattern making.
Once these principals are understood they can be applied to any pattern; Womenswear, Menswear and Childrenswear. It will give you the background to develop your own ways and methods, knowing that if it works for you then that's what matters. But also help you to be open to other ways of doing things.
This will take time but I will upload new pages regularly.
Do give feedback via LinkedIn. Happy cutting. Maggie
