Why Fix Sewing Patterns? - When You Can Make Your Own
It can be very interesting to find new sewing patterns. The problem however is that if you are avid with your sewing, there might not be enough patterns to please you. But even then there is one important question. Why on earth should you imitate others when you can make your own sewing patterns? In fact, if you are creative, you will make your own rules. No more getting scared of what patterns fit you and suit you, get to the field and start making your patterns now.
Factors
There are many ways in which you can make interesting sewing patterns. But these patterns depend on a lot of things. For instance, if you are making your own sewing pattern, you have to first take the measurement of the person. That is why this always works if you want to be a professional tailor. If however you are not, no worries. You can take your own measurement and find a suitable pattern for yourself.
Height, chest, hip, waist and the length of the back waist are the prime important measurements that need to be taken in case of a woman. If however you are making a man's garment, then you also have to consider the measurements of his neck, length of pants, length of sleeve and inseam. Now it is important that you jot the measurements down so that you don't confuse them later as these are instrumental in creating the right pattern.
Another important factor that determines the sewing pattern is the style of the garment you are sowing the pattern in. Not all patterns look good on say, silk. Also different kinds of patterns require different kinds of skill.
But when you are making your own sewing pattern, you can always create one that is convenient for you. Another important factor that you have to keep in mind while choosing your own sewing style is your weight. Your measurements will guide you in this.
Create one sewing pattern that suits your style and body. Choosing your own sewing pattern gives you leverage as you do not have to make your body fit the sewing pattern; you can just make your own pattern to suit your body. The easiest way to do this is through tru-fit patterns Designer's Curve and Tailor's Curve.
Lutterloh System
The Lutterloh Pattern Making System is one of the most convenient ways to make your own pattern. All you do is take the measurements of your body and then add the required increments to make the pattern of your choice. You can easily find directions about this online.
The Lutterloh Pattern Drafting Method can be used to create patterns for jackets, tops, skirts and dresses. Once you have the garment cut and stitched, it can be fitted on the form of the dress, and adjusted accordingly. But the best part about the Lutterloh System is that with this, you hardly need any adjustment.
So what are you waiting for? All you need is a pattern making system like the Lutterloh, Tru-fit sewing patterns, Designer's Curve and Tailor's Curve and a roll of vellum pattern paper and you are ready to go!
