I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:

Pattern Drafting is the process of creating pattern by taking measurements from a person or model. It is
the starting point for pattern designing. It is considered as highly skilled technique which calls for technical
ability, sensitivity for design interpretation and a practical understanding of garment construction.

II. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Learning Competency: Produce Ladies Trousers (TR)
Learning Outcomes 1: Draft and Cut Pattern for Ladies’ Trousers (TLE_HEDM9-12TRIIIa-h-9)
1.2 Draft Basic/Block Pattern
a. Draft basic/block pattern with appropriate tools and
b. Check basic pattern based on customer’s specifications.

Information Sheet:

To achieve an accurate and precise pattern, use of appropriate tools should be practiced. Prior to
pattern drafting. It is essential to know the procedures and instructions.

Salient Measures to Observe in Drafting Patterns

 Be sure to have an accurate division of the measurement. Use L-square.
 Use the aid of a hip curve if necessary.
 Always use the L-square or ruler in making lines.
 French curve is necessary the crotch to produce a perfect curve.
 Use weights or dressmaker’s pins so that the pattern won’t move.

19. From point M to the left, measure knee circumference divided by 4 minus ½ inch and mark it as point
O.
20. From point M to the right, measures knee circumference divided by 4 minus ½ inch and mark it as
point P.
