Imogeena has made a special request for grading information for the Gil Brandao Conjunto Pratico. This design has turned out to be very popular as a self-draft pattern but you can understand how the simple shape may make it confusing to grade for different sizes. This post has all the grade rules and specific locations (with notes) for growing the pattern.

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.
