Description:
This new class complements others that have been offered, e.g. Drafting a Classic Shirt, Drafting a Jacket/Coat, Drafting Dresses. It will give you more tools in your toolbox to be able to draft the clothes of your dreams. Think raglan sleeve, lantern, pleated, petal sleeve with gathers, kimono sleeve and more. We ask that you have either a closely-fitted blouse pattern that fits well, or a bodice sloper with sleeve. (You'll have to make adjustments to the bodice and sleeve for some of these sleeves!)
Lynda will demonstrate sewing techniques specific to these sleeve types.
Supplies:
EITHER a copy of your sloper/basic block with sleeve OR copies of the bodice and sleeve of a close-fitting blouse pattern that fits you
Tape measure
Ruler and square, or gridded transparent ruler at least 18” long (here’s an example - see the 2” X 18” size)
Drafting curve (here’s Lynda’s favorite)
Paper for drafting (available in art or office supply stores, just make sure it’s at least 36” wide and copy paper weight)
Scotch tape
Pencils and erasers (colored pencils as well)
Pins
Medium weight muslin, unwashed
