Pattern Drafting

Developing a skirt pattern is so much fun!

In the pattern drafting course at the workroom, I decided to create a split tulip skirt, that will hopefully look something like this (second from right).

Learning to pattern draft feels like going back to school – but in a good way! Like elementary school geometry or something. There is pivoting and basic arithmetic and even transparencies. These are my quarter scale models. I’m currently working on the full scale pattern and am looking forward to picking up some fabric for the skirt this week.

Will post the finished project when it’s complete!
