Our introduction to pattern cutting was based around creating interesting and unusual shapes on the stand. I began by wrapping spot and cross paper around the mannequin, pinching in areas and folding the paper so that it was as close-fitting as possible. I then coated all of the paper in tape, drew on some experimental style lines and cut down the centre back line to remove from the stand.
After cutting along the style lines to reveal my
shaped panels, I pinned them to more spot and cross paper, ensuring they were
flat. For any that did not lie flat, I cut a straight line in to the panel
towards the raised area, then measured the extension. I traced around the
panel and extended the notches. Once I had unpinned the panels, I added a 1.0cm
seam allowance to each piece, cut them out and used pattern notchers to mark
the notches. Finally, I labelled each pattern piece with relevant details,
including a grain line.
