Do you know your cut lines and your stitch lines?

Have you made this mistake in your pattern cutting? 👀⁠ A really common mistake I see students making is using the cut line as a reference point instead of the stitch line.⁠ ⁠ Why does this matter? ⁠ Lots of reasons! ⁠ Firstly, it gives you inaccurate measurements for body/circumference measurements and for seam measurements.⁠ Secondly when you use the cut line as a pivot point for slashing & sp...

    Excellent videos, thanks! One of my biggest frustrations with the Winifred Aldrich books is the way they include seam allowance in the drafted pattern, without an easy way of omitting it, or specifying clearly which line/measurement to use later when another block is used as a reference, as when drafting sleeves (maybe particularly so in earlier editions.) Coming back to pattern cutting after ~16 years, I'm a bit confused! When she gets you to measure lengths and mark points on the body section for drafting a sleeve, does she mean on the cutting line, not the stitching line? I assume so, because some of the point numbers do seem to match up with those original points. Hope you don't mind my asking advice here! Thanks again!

    • @projectpatterns
      @projectpatterns 2 місяці тому

      Hi lovely, which edition of her books are you using? As far as I understand all the drafts are NETT, so don't include seam allowance. But I've never used anything below 5th edition of her books so I'm not if it might be different in older editions! As a standard, I do all my drafting NETT and then add on seam allowance as a final step :) Hope that helps you!

      @@projectpatterns Hello, thanks so much for your reply! That's interesting! Perhaps it's different in the women's wear books (I'm using Metric Pattern Cutting For Menswear, 5th edition, and also have 1st edition.) I've actually just found a note in the introduction about this, which I'd never noticed before, where she states that she's done the book in this way to prepare students to enter the industry, where they will often have to work on patterns derived from previous styles, which already include seam allowance, and so prepare them for the associates difficulties. Still frustrating for the hobbyist, with no intention of entering the industry, but makes a lot more sense. Anyway, drafting NETT would be my instinct too, but never mind. I'll just muddle my way through :D Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking the time.

    Thank you for this video! If i got you right, you added the 1.2cm shoulder pad height to the bodice armholes and sleeve height of the basic sleeve you altered to the darted sleeve? And by original sleeve in the video, did you mean the basic sleeve or the one that has been raised by 1.2 cm of the shoulder pad height?

    • @projectpatterns
      @projectpatterns 10 місяців тому

      Great question! Yes, I added the shoulder pad height to my basic sleeve block before I started doing this darted amendment. Then when I bring in "the original" sleeve to help guide my pattern I bring in the sleeve with the added height already included.

    Love this! Thank you! I have used two drafting systems that use the bust measurement to draft the sleeve but I have a smaller bust and rib cage relative to my bicep so the sleeve is always tight and then I have the brain pretzel of widening the sleeve while maintaining the fit into the armhole 😨 I have this book but have been too scared to try it! Seeing you work through it has helped immensely.

    what do you do when the grain line doesn't line up with the salvage properly, ie. it slants towards or away from the salvage? I'm noticing this happening more and more these days. (I'm assuming it's a quality issue..) do you line up with the grain line you can see or with the salvage?

    • @projectpatterns
      @projectpatterns Рік тому

      Unfortunately this happens when the fabric is woven incorrectly and the yarns twist around. It's so frustrating when cutting! If you can clearly see that the grain is off (maybe there's a stripe or obvious direction woven in the fabric) then try to cut your pieces as on grain as they possibly can be, even if it means going a bit off from the selvedge edge. It makes cutting more tricky but will mean your garment hangs more like it should :)

Luckily I had been following the grain, not the salvage, but i was wondering if I was being too particular 😂 We only have 1 fabric store in my town, and I've increasingly noticed the quality deteriorating overall. Some of the fabric was even dirty (and permanently stained), and one had cigarette butt holes in it. It's very frustrating, but not a lot I can do about it but inspect the fabric carefully before buying. Thanks so much!
