Pattern Drafting


For my patterns I have used Bridglands; The Modern Tailor Outfitter and Clothier as the patterns will be historically accurate, I have used this book before to draft patterns however these patterns are slightly more challenging than those that I have previously used. This is one of the reasons that I have decided to do a full calico toile. The pattern drafting took slightly longer than anticipated but hopefully because of this I will have created accurate patterns. To help me with slight variations of lapel size, turn-ups and pocket placements I referred to other tailoring books and cutting systems as well as Graham’s notes from previous projects.
