HOW DOES IT WORK?

DRESS BLOCK PATTERN FRONT

This Pattern is for all children’s dresses including evening, flower girl gowns, tops, shirts, jackets, t-shirts and skirts. You will need a sheet of paper the length of the dress plus 10cm.

1. Roll out the paper lengthwise on a flat work surface.
2. Place The Children’s Pattern Drafter with the Front side facing up on the top left-hand corner of the paper. Leave approximately 5mm gap from the top and left edge for marking.

Draw a line along the top and left-hand side of The Children’s Pattern Drafter to form a right angle. Without moving The Children’s Pattern Drafter mark in the back waist length at A eg 20cm. bust size at B and C eg 56cm. Mark in the neckline at the two points indicated. See FIGURE 8 below.

3. Lower The Children’s Pattern Drafter until it reaches the bust line marked at B. Draw a horizontal line and mark the Bust Size at D. eg 56cm. Draw a line from C to the top of the neckline, using the 30cm ruler. See FIGURE 9 below. 
4. Rotate The Children’s Pattern Drafter 180 degrees and line up neck curve with bottom neckline B See FIGURE 10 below.
   

   BLOCK PATTERN COLLAR

   1. Measure the front and back neckline on the Block Dress Pattern, eg 15cm (remember this is only half of the pattern).
   2. Draw a rectangle measuring 15cm in length and 6cm in height.
   3. Extend the top right-hand side of the rectangle horizontally by 2cm and draw a line down to meet the bottom right-hand corner of the rectangle. This forms the peak of the collar.
   4. Raise the bottom left-hand side of the rectangle by 2cm. Draw a line down in a curve to the bottom right-hand side of the rectangle. See FIGURE 69 below

    

   

    

   This Collar can be made for shirts, blouses, jackets and coats. The height of the collar can be anything you desire and the shape of the peak can also be made larger or smaller, round, square or pointed.

   About Maria – The creator of The Pattern Drafter 

   Maria Boncaldo the developer of The Pattern Drafter started sewing at the age of 10 when her sister’s hand-me-down clothes needed re-styling to fit her.

   Sewing on the Singer treadle machine that her mother brought out with them from Italy, Maria soon found sewing a pleasure rather than a chore.  Therein began her love affair with sewing and her quest for perfection in garment making.

   Maria is a qualified dressmaker; pattern drafter and designer, tertiary teacher and private tutor. Maria has experience in clothing production and is an accredited wardrobe analyst.

   In operating her own business and in teaching, Maria found that she was not satisfied with the tools available for patter drafting.

   To solve this problem, Maria created a simple and quick Pattern Drafting system with easy to follow step-by-step instructions to take the mystery out of Pattern Drafting.

   Maria’s motto is “keep it simple”, and she has achieved that aim with The Pattern Drafter.

   You’ll enjoy using The Pattern Drafter. It has been developed to simplify design and make the experience enjoyable and rewarding.
