3D Exploration
1. “The Drape & Contour Project” Draping on the stand
2. Example of draping using the bias. Pinning bias grain to centre front Slashing into the waist line to create diamond shapes
3. Showing that by using one piece of fabric on the bias you can drape it around the stand to create a dress. Drafting a diamond shape insert for the back. Folding the fabric to make a bust dart.
4. Example of draping on the stand by using a flat piece of calico. This will show you how to mark up draped fabric and transfer it to a paper pattern.
5. Using the bias grain on the cf Pleating the calico to create volume at the neck line.
6. Matching up the straight grain line when pleating. Creating shoulder darts.
7. Looking at the proportion, deciding what area to focus on.
8. marking on a seam line to help with visualizing how it would look before cutting it.
9. Folding the fabric to make a bust dart Pinning & marking on the side seam
10. Marking on the armhole Draw around the armhole on the stand then drop down to the required depth.
11. Creating a new seam Slash the fabric to make it lie flat against the stand, once marked cut away the excess fabric
31. Make alterations to pattern by laying paper over toile and drawing on new lines.
32. Taking out excess from a curveDraw a straight line from edge of slash point to the far end and pivot to take out excess. Add on extra to the seam allowance to make a continuous line. Or deciding if a new seam would be more appropriate.
33. Copying what you have done on the toile and translating this to paper. Slashing the paper at the same point as the calico.
34. Draft all alterations back on to the master pattern. Mark new lines with a different colour so they stand out.
35. Don’t rub any lines out, all information must be kept on master pattern.
36. Draft off pattern number 2. Changing the grain line. New pattern piece.
37. Make up 2nd toile & pin to stand Making both sides of the toile rather than one half. This will help me to visualize it as a garment.
