Pattern Puzzle - The Morticia Skirt
Monday, August 18, 2014
Saturday's #PatternPuzzle had a large number of pattern pieces, all used to make five different skirt patterns, that all make the same style of skirt - The Morticia Skirt. Many of the drafting methods used in these patterns are self-drafted with full instructions (no block required).

Pattern Puzzle - The Japan Skirt - no block required!
Monday, August 11, 2014
The Japan Skirt - Self-drafted Pattern. Rectangle skirts are nothing new. What maybe new is the way you work your rectangle. This particular pattern has been hanging on my pattern rail for at least 8 years. Originally developed for merino ponti, grading up and down in sizes allows you to cut this pattern in a variety of knit and woven fabrics.

SEWING PATTERNS
These are the first of my sewing patterns as PDF downloads for you to buy and sew. The more I sell the more time I have to make new ones. So if you fancy supporting the work I do here on the well-suited blog, this is your opportunity. These patterns are based on my size chart listed here on the website.
ALL MY GARMENT BLOCKS
Garment blocks are the basic template we use to make fashion patterns. They are not patterns in themselves as they have no design detail. My garment blocks also don't have any seam allowances as they are never sewn together once the fit is perfected. If you look at any of my Pattern Puzzle posts you'll see that I usually start with a block then modify to achieve my new design idea. These garment blocks are also based on my size chart as required for the mass production of fashion clothing.
WORKSHEETS - PDF DOWNLOADS

The challenging patterns, the exciting new design trends and the impossible drapes; that's what I live for. Disclaimer: These new ideas are offered here for testing and are offered without guarantee. Allow yourself time and space to truly test and perfect the patterns for all your new ideas. And please don't give yourself a hard time if the first toile is less than perfect. It's simply part of a process. Enjoy :)
