Reflections on the Adjusted Pattern
Record Keeping and the Body and Design Relationship
I have been wearing my corduroy #OLOlivePants non-stop. Love them. Casual and polished, I’m looking forward to many more wears. One week of wearing has given me a good sense of what I am enjoying and what I learned before moving onto the next project.
From Fitting to Final Fabric
My personal edits between pattern adjustment after fitting and in the final fashion fabric1.
Record keeping
On the project sheet (download here):
Staple a snippet of the fashion fabric.
Make sure there is a final waistband length and width measurement with any wearing observations (too loose/tight etc).
Note the toile starting size and sketch out the pattern adjustments on the pattern schematic.
Note the final garment hip ease and hem width. Hip ease can be roughly measured by pinching the garment firmly, pulling all the ease out and measuring. My measurement here is roughly 1 inch which gives me 4 inches of hip ease.
Compare the final hip ease measurement to the table in the project summary sheet.
