If he drapes, he usually tweaks the patterns afterwards using flat pattern making techniques. Although he is very "whatever rocks your boat" in his approach, i.e. whatever gives you the best result <br /><br />Regarding accuracy I have the same problem, I usually add a little here and there, and it does add up. So I try to check the pattern against my original sloper draft to make sure I'm not too off.Johanna Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829280594947262409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-53029147385684639452009-06-09T16:46:33.637-05:002009-06-09T16:46:33.637-05:00As someone who wants to get serious about my cloth...As someone who wants to get serious about my clothing sewing, this is fascinating stuff if only because I know I need to strive for that precision (whether altering patterns, selecting sizes, what have you) in a way that hasn't come naturally--to some extent I'm sure because the training wheels haven't mentally come off yet.

Very accurate fit. But precise or otherwise? I have nothing with which to compare the pattern pieces.<br /><br />Let's say, I draft the pattern again but this time around using a mechanical pencil with super skinny lead, which really makes no sense since I'm not tracing, but at least, all the cutting lines are equal width, and that I cut my pattern pieces accurately. And a third time around using a pattern drafting software. (I have not even an itty bitty bit of authority on any pattern drafting software, but I worked with CAD before children came along. Let's pretend I know how to use one fairly sophisticated.) And a fourth, draping. (Again, let's pretend.) Add to all this how I've kept the fabric from distorting through the sewing process and how accurate my needle is to the stitching line.<br /><br />Then perhaps now, I can say, how precise?poplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137035605860186720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-5818739935765613342009-06-03T05:16:47.829-05:002009-06-03T05:16:47.829-05:00Hi,

I like to do flat pattern measurements and if it is a difficult design or I am not quite sure...I will whip up a muslin and pin/drape if there is a problem. The hard part for me is to take all the "tucks" from the draping and transfer it to the pattern. Does that make sense? I definitely don't feel comfortable sewing for other bodies right this minute!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-7078547944116345072009-06-02T17:11:43.831-05:002009-06-02T17:11:43.831-05:00Such a good explanation of the terms!

I definitely don't worry too much about precision because I just make sure it's good enough for me, but if I were sewing for others and having to fit their bodies it would be a different story.mjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270657379178402124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-15355935740687093802009-06-02T13:25:09.190-05:002009-06-02T13:25:09.190-05:00Yeah, I just read this to pretend that I'm part of...Yeah, I just read this to pretend that I'm part of the real sewing world, but I was pretty much lost after "elementary school science"!

The little flaws are part of the beauty, right? But I secretly harbor a desire for total accuracy... which I hope will one day materialize.glam.spoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775928503157260485noreply@blogger.com
