first draft pattern for usa
Published: Sunday, November 5th 2006
This picture shows the first draft pattern I have cut today for one of my New York USA clients.
A draft pattern is a pattern that is created specifically for you only, from your measurements I take from your body, this pattern is unique to you and only you.
I had plenty of other things to do before I made this pattern but it is such a milestone for me visiting the US I could not wait to get one drafted.
You can see on the left of the picture the back section of the jacket on the very bottom.
The the forepart or jacket front is laid on top of the back section and finally the panel or sidebody on the very top.
To the right of the picture are the sleeve patterns to the jacket the under sleeve is on the top with the top sleeve below it.
I am returning to New York to see my clients at the end of January 2007.
And even though this visit is three months away it will not matter that I have already drafted this pattern now as the only measures I have for the client are the ones I have taken while I was in New York.
There are no more measures to add to the ones I had taken, nor will there be any amended measures to work from.
