Pattern making is based on what is called a basic block - sloper. You will likely only be interested in creating a basic sloper for your own unique body shape and measurements. Most pattern making textbooks recommend starting using a fitted bodice with a waist seam.

How to Create Patterns from Existing Clothing

There are a few different methods for making your pattern. A simple knit top can be copied by tracing directly on wax paper. The “pin-through” technique works well for duplicating garments with multiple elements, such as a jacket or blouse. With jeans, I find that tracing the various pieces on silk organza works well. For whatever method you choose, here are a few tips to help you to make a pattern from a piece of clothing, and you don’t have to take it apart to do it!

To sew a pleat, begin by marking your fabric. Precise marking will help you get crisp, even pleats. For each pleat, you’ll have three marks: two fold lines and a placement line. When sewing a box pleat, I find it’s easiest to make my marks on the wrong side of the fabric.

Step 1. You're going to want to take some measurements. This is easier to do if you enlist a friend to help, but you can do it yourself if you have too. You'll need the measurement of your bust. Make sure you're wearing a bra so everything is positioned where it needs to be. Measure around the middle of your ta-tas. Then measure just under your bust. The bottom of your bra is a good guide. Just follow it around your body and write it down. Then your waist. If you bend to one side you'll see where your body bends naturally, measure there. Lastly, you need your hip measurement, use the top elastic of your panties as a good guide. Not pictured above, you'll also need the measurement from the underbust to the hips, so measure from the base of your bra to the top of your panties. Look at the picture if you're confused.

Step 1. Begin by cutting two pieces for the bodice – one front and one back. The width of each piece should equal 1/2 chest measurement – 1/2 inch. My working measurement was 22″ so I cut each piece 10.5″ wide. The length of each piece should be from about the underarm to the high waist – mine was 5″.

How To Make A T-Shirt In 5 Easy Steps

First off, you need a pattern. You can trace one from an existing shirt, but I'm not covering that step in this tutorial. I'm using the size 4 t-shirt pattern from my beloved vintage Sew for Toddler. All the patterns for this book are on a large pattern sheet and you have to trace off the size you want. I usually trace my patterns onto freezer paper. If you look closely you can see I traced the wrong size first; I don't remember what happened there but it was one of two tracings I have of this pattern. My pattern has 4 pieces: front, back, sleeve, and neckband.
