I Draft My Patterns - Trousers

In this new collection, Teresa Gilewska addresses beginners in fashion pattern making and amateur sewers wishing to learn how to create their patterns independently.

The first two parts of this volume 4 describe in a simple and detailed manner the fundamentals of taking measurements and constructing the basic trouser pattern.

The third part explores the various transformation methods of the basic pattern: cutting, flaring of lines or cut segments, suppression, pivoting or displacement of darts, creating volume, pockets or turn-ups at the trouser hem, application of pleats or gathers, etc.

Finally, you will discover the characteristics and construction of the trouser lining.

To help you acquire this know-how, the author explains, through examples of models in very varied styles, how to analyse each model in detail to determine which transformation technique to use in each specific case, as the main difficulty is not mastering these transformation techniques, but knowing which one (or which ones) to use to construct the pattern of the model one has in mind.
