In this Video I am drafting the T-Shirt Block Pattern from "Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear" by Winifred Aldrich, Pages 150-151.
I'm using the maximum ease in the last brackets of the pattern with the standard size measurements. I'm taking my time drafting so you guys can follow without feeling rushed and just in case you missed a point you cat always pause and rewind.
The Measurements for our sample size 12/M are as follows:
Bust: 88 cm
Nape/Neck to Waist: 41 cm
Waist to Hip: 20,6 cm
Neck size: 37 cm
Shoulder: 12,2 cm
Back width: 34,4 cm
Armscye depth: 21cm
Sleeve length: 54,5 cm
For all of you bored at home, try to make a block in your own size!
Since my iPhone suddenly turned off at the end of the body section video the bit where I added seam allowance got lost...
BODY SECTION
hem: 1cm
side seam: 0,6 cm
shoulder: 0,6 cm
neck: no seam allowance
SLEEVE
sideseam: 0,6 cm
head of the sleeve curve: 0,6 cm
cuff: 1 cm
The seam allowance is based around my plan to use an overlock for sewing the pieces together and I will add a collar as well as tighter cuffs and possibly a ribbed hem, to create a sweatshirt. My sewing machine hasn't survived the move and needs to get fixed, so lets try and do it all with the overlock! for all of you at home, you can easily use your domestic machines with an overlock stitch or the triple straight stitch for elastic fabrics. it's important that ur seams have a bit of stretch to them and don't break.
have fun drafting! miss you all already!
