Lesson Overview

What is Pattern Drafting?

Patter drafting is a pattern making process using the measurements

of different body areas to create basic patterns or blueprints of a garment. A
pattern is used as a guide when cutting fabric for garment making. It is the
most essential part in sewing before we proceed to our project.

A pattern paper is usually used in drafting a project like sewing a

blouse, a pair of pants or for household linens. These are items of cloth such
as tablecloths, sheets and pillowcases that are used at home which require
few measurements.
It enhance your motor skills,especially hand-eye-coordination.

For simple projects like a placemat, a table runner, or dish cloth, a

newspaper or a manila paper will serve the purpose.
