I invested in the online Shapes of Fabric Skirt Pattern Class, where I am learning to draft ALL the skirt patterns.
Module One was to create a basic skirt pattern block that fits your (or someone else’s) body perfectly. Here is mine:
When I went to buy tag board to trace my final block, I found that Fred Meyer did not have any white tagboard. I brought home the black, and used one of my white pens. I like the effect.
I added my current measurements (in centimeters) to the block. Because my weight tends to shift, this is a way to have an easy reference telling me if the block will still work.
Module two will have me drafting half size skirts in a variety of patterns. And the half-size skirt is based on a standard skirt pattern block, which is much smaller than my skirt block. This will be speedier and save on fabric.
