Want to start creating your own collection? This basic pattern blocks bundle will help you get started more quickly, as you can skip the first part of drafting the basic blocks and get straight to drafting the actual patterns!
This bundle includes digital multi-size basic bodice, dartless bodice, and basic skirt pattern blocks for woven fabrics. They are graded from US Size 2 to 16 (=UK Sizes 6-20, EU Sizes 34-48, IT Sizes 38-52). Notice that the sizes aren’t necessarily the same as in RTW clothing. Therefore check the measurement charts in the pictures to see detailed measurements for different sizes. You can enlarge the pictures to see better.
There are three sets of patterns for three different heights so that you have more variety to choose from. The bodice patterns are drafted for a B cup bust.
The bodice sleeves have about 10% of ease at the sleeve cap which you can reduce if needed (instructions are provided).
In pattern making, each pattern starts from a basic pattern block and there are a variety of basic blocks for different types of garments. With these three pattern blocks, you’ll be able to create patterns for all kinds of garments, from dresses to shirts, blouses, sweaters, tops, and skirts.
You’ll also get booklets (metric and imperial) with instructions to adapt the pattern blocks to your measurements if you want to make patterns for yourself instead of making sample garments. In addition, you’ll learn how to modify the amount of ease.
The basic blocks have no seam allowance.
There are both home printing and copy shop versions of the PDF file. The home printing version has layers so that you can view and print the size(s) you want.
