Theres so much written these days on Pattern drafting and pattern making and I know you are wondering what this whole pattern drafting thing is all about. Pattern drafting is a way of cutting papers (a pattern paper) exactly the way you would cut the cloth using the exact measurements you are given. Pattern drafting is exactly the same as cutting clothes. The only difference is that you cut on paper and not on the fabric directly.
You can make all your mistakes on the paper and get the chance to correct them on paper before you get to place the pattern paper on a fabric and cut. Voila! Less errors.
People always believe that it is amateurs that cut paper first before placing the paper on fabric to cut but guess what? They are wrong!! By using patterns, you are less prone to errors than cutting directly on fabric. Pattern making helps you to get a better fitted clothing than 'free hand cutting'.
You will get to know more about pattern making as we proceed. Don't forget to send in your questions and comments. Do have a lovely day !
