The flat pattern is done on the flat, as the name implies. While draping is a lot of fun, and can occasionally be necessary for very complex folds, it is not as efficient, nor as exact, as flat pattern. We'll go over what all of that means later. After that, you would add seam allowance, notches, or any other necessary markings, and true your patterns. After that, the patterns are transferred from the fabric to pattern paper. A French curve and ruler are used to clean up the lines. After that, the fabric is removed and spread flat. The fabric is wrapped around the form until it is the desired shape, and then it is marked while still on the form. To get started, you’ll need a dress form, fabric (this can be your actual fabric or a less expensive fabric with similar weight and drape qualities), pins, pattern paper, a French curve, and a straight ruler. Each method requires slightly different tools to get the job done.ĭraping is done by manually manipulating the fabric on a dress form so that it looks the way you want.
The most common methods of pattern making are draping and flat pattern. The pattern is used to make 2D fabric sit properly on a 3D body.
