Sewing project: Self drafted pattern

This is the self drafted top I made with the earlier bought fabric. It has been a long time since I did pattern drafting. I think I have to practice it more and understand my own body shape better. I know it looks not too fashionable but practice makes perfect. It took me two afternoons to make this top including the drafting.

I hope that anyone out there who is also into pattern drafting could help me out by recommending a good pattern drafting book. I really want to learn more techniques in terms of drafting for different types of body shapes. It would be greatly appreciated! :)








Again, I am not very pleased with the drafting. Nontheless, the construction of the top was satisfactory. However, I am glad I attempted this. As they say practice makes perfect!

Love Love!

  2. That's pretty decent considering it is your own draft! Keep working on it and you'll get it no worries.

  3. Hey there UmaPreve,

    I think you did pretty good on the draft! If I can recommend a book I would try to grab a copy of:

    Patternmaking For Fashion Design 4th edition by:Helen Joseph-Armstrong

    I am currently using it, and it's pretty good, but I guess I am a bit biased since It was a required book while in design school. Lol hope that helps! (P.s. the older versions are just as good as well!)
