DIY GUIDE HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CLOTHING

1. MAKE YOUR OWN CLOTHING PATTERNS
DIY Clothing Patterns
Pattern making is based on what is called a basic block – sloper. You will
likely only be interested in creating a basic sloper for your own unique
body shape and measurements. Most pattern making textbooks
recommend starting using a fitted bodice with a waist seam.
This basic block includes a waist and side dart in the bodice front as well
as a waist and shoulder dart in the bodice back. From this basic block, you
can vary necklines, sleeves, dart styles and more to create your own unique
garments.
