Hey Rory/everyone,
I've tried to draft this pattern now about three times, both from the PDF and from the video. The PDF is marginally easier to follow, but is a bit unclear on the measures.
The video starts with squaring out two lines. What are the measures for these lines? Am I being stupid? If you're squaring them they should be equal, right?
I've just done a draft and its waist is 13", if that's on the half it's wrong and if it's on the quarter it's wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi, No - These two lines just square Off at 90 degrees. I usually Take ~ 12" for the horizontal and the vertical lines, which is normally enough for the rise or (point 0 - 9 If I am not mistaken ) half of the scale.
The intersection of These lines is Point 0, from which you start Off with Points 1 (and 1a and 1b) downwards, Point 2 upwards and Point 3, 4 and 5 to the left.
13" for a quarter waist can be okay, but don't forget to subtract at least the Darts and seam allowances!
That leaves you with a Quarter waist of ~ 10".
