This Bundle includes both the Women’s Fitted Jackets guide and Collar Galore -your resource for drafting collar patterns, making it a perfect combination for drafting jacket patterns with different kinds of collars!
Women’s Fitted Jackets guide will show you how to draft different fitted jacket patterns for women, using the fitted jacket block as a base. The fitted jacket block has a side panel and a two-piece sleeve.
There’s a basic jacket design, a power shoulder jacket, cropped design with particular sleeves, and an asymmetrical jacket with flounce detail. You can mix the elements of the different designs to create more jacket styles.
After having drafted these patterns, you’ll know how to
- make both single and double-breasted jackets, and place buttons
- absorb and rotate darts & move jacket seams to create different designs
- modify the jacket collar and lapel
- add space for higher shoulder pads
- add different types of pockets to jackets
- add slits to the jacket and the two-piece sleeves
- create the lining pattern for each style
The ideal material for these jackets is medium or lightweight wool; this depends on the season that the jacket will be worn.
With this guide you’ll get links to a few video clips that will make it easier to understand the most difficult parts of the drafting process.
This Patternmaking Guide is classified as “Advanced” in difficulty. It’s suitable for people who are already familiar with patternmaking and have drafted, for example, the basic bodice pattern before. It’s a challenge to draft and sew jackets.
It will be accompanied by the Fitted Jacket Block -guide.
Collar Galore is a reference guide for drafting different types of collars.
Featuring a total of 61 collars for shirts, dresses, blouses, jackets, coats, and even detachable designs, this e-book is the ultimate reference guide for collar drafting. The collars are divided into six chapters based on their features or how they are drafted, making it easy for you to find the perfect design for your project. There’s also a chapter where I’ve included some quick sewing instructions and a troubleshooting section.
With detailed illustrations on how to draft the basic pattern and modify it to create a large variety of designs, Collar Galore will help you understand how collar patterns work. And with plenty of examples to get you started, you’ll be encouraged to venture into creating your own versions, too!
Scroll above to see the list and pictures.
To draft the collar patterns, you’ll need either a basic bodice or jacket block, or a commercial pattern you want to add a collar to. You could also modify existing collar patterns.
I’ve included a few links to videos that show you how to draft the various basic collar patterns: stand-up collar, shirt collar, shawl collar, and the notched collar.
