You'll probably need 1-2 rulers for this segment and they are pretty inexpensive. Now, I'd like to discuss pattern paper.
Pattern paper is highly recommended when drafting your first pattern. The pattern is marked with symbols, such as numbers, letters, and dots. These symbols help when to determine an accurate grain line.
An alternative to professional pattern paper is gift-wrapping paper. Big retailers such as target and Walmart usually carry gift wrap with boxes or grids on the wrong side as a cutting guide.
If you're considering draping or pattern making as a hobby or profession I would highly recommend a dress form. I’m going to take the measurements on the form. If your taking the measurements on yourself: wear a form-fitting top or leotard; wrap an elastic waistband around your waist so it's hitting the belly button. Ok, so let's get started.
FABRIC: Any woven fabric such as a mid-weight muslin or cotton is good to use for the test fitting.
If you have any questions or issues, please feel free to ask and enjoy the lesson.
MEASUREMENTS:
Before we begin drafting we have to do a little bit of math.
Waist Formula:
Waist measurement + 1/2" (ease) ÷ 4 + 1 (darts) =
Example: 27 1/2 + 1/2 ease ÷ 4 + 1(darts) = 8
Hip Formula: Hips + 1" (ease) ÷ 4 =
Example: 35" + 1" (ease )÷ 4 =9
Find the distance from your waist to the fullest part of your hips.
The final equation will be the number that you will use to make your skirt pattern
SKIRT FRONT:
Come down 1” from the top edge of the pattern paper and label it A
The length of the skirt can vary anywhere from 20-22”. Extend a line out using your desired skirt length.
Take the distance from your waist to your hips and label it B.
C will represent the Length of the skirt sloper
Use the hip measurement determined using the formula and extend horizontal lines out from A, B & C.
Extend a line from A to C to create a box
Label the skirt pattern as shown and draw in your grain line.
Use the waist measurement determined from the formula, from A place a notch and label it D
From D go up 1/2” and label it E
Find the half way point between A & D and place a notch ( This is the center of your dart) Go over 1/2” on both sides and place a mark.
From the dart center go down 4 1/2' and place a dot ;this is the apex of the dart.
Extend a line out from all dart points.
Take the hip curve ruler and place it so the shallow end is touching the straight edge of the skirt and the curved edge extends out to E. You may have to move the ruler around a bit to get a smooth curve.
Using a ruler extend a line out from E to side seam. Blend in a slight curve to shape the sideseam.
Label CUT ON FOLD.
The steps for the skirt back are exactly the same for the exception of the dart length, which is 3 1/2"
I’ll quickly review the step and you can always find the detailed instructions, located at the link below:
SKIRT BACK
Please follow video demonstration:
Draw a line the length of the skirt
Take your hip measurement and extend a horizontal line out.
Create a box
Label the skirt and draw in your grain line.
Label the skirt back in the same manner as the skirt front, but in reverse.
Place a notch and label it D; this will represent the waist measurement.
Go up 1/2” and label it E
Find the half way point from D & A: place a mark and label it F ( this is the center of your dart)
Go up 1/2” from both sides and place a mark
Extend the line out from all dart points equaling 3 1/2" clothing fashion
