Pattern-Making Bhavesh

This document discusses pattern making for garments. It begins by explaining that pattern making is an art that involves shaping flat fabric pieces to conform to the human body. It then discusses the basics of pattern making, including how fit and accommodating body shapes are important. It describes the two main methods of pattern making - drafting using measurements and draping fabric on a form. Finally, it discusses how computer software has modernized pattern making by allowing patterns to be digitally designed and drafted based on body measurements.

GARMENT-PATTERN MAKING
Pattern making is an art.
 It is the art of manipulating and shaping a flat piece of fabric to conform to one
or more curves of the human figure .
 Pattern making is a bridge function between design and production.
A sketch can be turned into a garment via a pattern which interprets the design in
the form of the garment components.
BASICS OF PATTERNMAKING
The development of a garment comprises of different process.
Fit is the most important factor leading to the final acceptance or rejection of a
garment.
Fit must be designed into the original pattern through subtleties in the pattern
that provide fullness unobtrusively at appropriate locations to accommodate
body bulges in a flattering manner (Hudson).
Good customized fit is dependent on the pattern drafting incorporating various
shapes and proportions of the individual customer.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, standardized patterns were
essential to the success of ready-to-wear clothing.
PATTERN MAKING
A patternmaker typically makes a pattern from a flat sketch with
measurements or a two dimensional fashion illustration.
 The basic pattern is the very foundation upon which pattern
making, fit and design are based.

 The basic pattern is the starting point for flat pattern designing.
It is a simple pattern that fits the body with just enough ease for
movement and comfort.  
PATTERN MAKING
A pattern is flat while the body is not. The body has height, width and
depth.

 With in this roughly cylindrical framework there are a series of


secondary curves and bulges, which are of concern to the pattern maker.

Darts are the basis of all pattern making. They convert the flat piece of
cloth into a three dimensional form, which fits the bulges of the body.
 
Methods of Pattern Making
Pattern making involves two methods-

1. Drafting.

2. Draping.
Drafting:
It involves measurements derived from sizing systems.
 Accurate measurements taken on a person.
 Dress-form or body form.
 Measurements for chest, waist, hip and so on,
Ease allowances are marked on paper and construction lines are drawn to
complete the pattern.
Drafting is used to create basic, sloper, foundation or masterpatterns.
Draping:
It involves the draping of a two dimensional piece of fabric around a
form, conforming to its shape, creating a three-dimensional fabric
pattern.
 This muslin is transferred to paper to be used as a final pattern.
Ease allowances for movement are added to make the garment
comfortable to wear.
Advantage of draping is that the designer can see the overall design
effect of the finished garment on the body form before the garment piece
is cut and sewn.
 However, it is more expensive and time consuming than flat pattern
making useful for fashionable wear.
Pattern making in today’s world
Pattern making today has become an easy job with the use of the computers.

Now-a-days different softwares are available in the market to meet the needs of the
manufacturers.

The different soft wares used are: Gerber, (GGT)Lectra, Tukkatech , OptiTex ,Astor,
Tanya, etc.
These softwares has made the job of the Pattern master much more easier.

They have made the process of pattern making more economical and less time
consuming.

Pattern-making soft wares enables you to input your measurements and
draft out a pattern.

These soft wares draft patterns to fit your measurements specifically,


eliminating much fitting trial and error in the sewing room.

A pattern can be made from a 3D form in just a few steps by using these
softwares.

 An individual's measurements are collected from 3D body scanner.

 The measurements are used to create a virtual 3D model of the individual's body.

The 3D to 2D software allows the user to define a garment surface in relation to


the 3D body model.
 Once the garment surface is defined, the application automatically unwraps and
outputs a 2D flat pattern in .dxf format.
