Pattern making is the art of creating garment patterns from scratch, starting with a sewer's exact measurements. These patterns serve as the blueprint for cutting fabric and constructing garments.
- A pattern is a template that guides you in cutting and assembling your fabric into a finished garment.
- A custom-fitted basic pattern or slider is a pre-made template derived from personal measurements, which can be modified for various styles of clothing.
- The flat-pattern method involves creating a sloper or block, which forms the basis for numerous garment variations.
- Toiles or muslins are test fabrics used to make a full-scale prototype of the garment on the bare form before cutting the final fashion fabric.
