Pattern making is a highly skilled technique that connects garment design to production. It involves manipulating flat fabric pieces to conform to the three-dimensional shapes of the human body. There are three main methods of pattern making - drafting, which uses measurements to draw construction lines on paper; draping, where fabric is draped on a form to create patterns; and flat pattern making, which develops basic sloper patterns that can then be manipulated for different designs. Pattern making requires both technical precision in translating designs as well as an artistic understanding of how fabrics will drape on the body. It is a fundamental step in dress design and production.
The document defines various terms related to patternmaking including parts of a garment like the bodice and waistline. It also covers patternmaking techniques such as draping, drafting, notches, and seam allowances. Finally, it discusses drafting a skirt from measurements including measuring the waist, hip, and half hip circumference of a dress form.
Fashion draping is an important process in fashion design where fabric is positioned and pinned on a dress form to develop a garment's structure. Muslin fabric is commonly used for draping as it is inexpensive and comes in various weights. The draping process involves selecting initial fabric, tearing it to shape, blocking and pressing it to form, and adding seam allowances. Draping allows designers to visualize how a dress will look and make adjustments before cutting, while reducing fabric waste. It is considered an important process used by many top fashion brands.
Pattern making is a technical process that connects garment design to production. It involves creating paper templates for all garment components that will be cut from fabric. There are three main methods of preparing patterns: drafting, draping, and using commercial patterns. Computer software is now commonly used to assist with tasks like pattern grading and marker making to efficiently produce patterns in multiple sizes.

Methods of Pattern Making
Pattern making involves three methods-
Drafting
Draping
Flat paper pattern making
Drafting
It involves measurements derived from sizing systems or accurate measurements taken on a person, dress or body form.
Measurements for chest, waist, hip and so on, and ease allowances are marked on paper and construction lines are drawn to complete the pattern.
Drafting is used to create basic, foundation or design patterns.
MEASUREMENTS
Bust – measure just under the arms around the fullest part of chest.Waist – measure around narrowest part of torso.High Hip – measure 6 inches [15.5 cm] below waist around the hips.Back-waist length – measure from nape of neck to waist levelShoulder length – measure shoulder from ball socket to side of neck.Armhole depth – measure from nape of neck to under arm level.Back width – measure from armhole to armhole across shoulder blades.Neck – measure around base of neck.

Draping
It involves the draping of a two dimensional piece of fabric around a form, conforming to its shape, creating a three-dimensional fabric pattern.
Ease allowances for movement are added to make the garment comfortable to wear.
However, it is more expensive and time consuming than flat pattern making.
Draping can be made on a Human body or on a stand.
Advantage of draping is that the designer can see the overall design effect of the finished garment on the body form before the garment piece is cut and sewn.
Flat Pattern Making
It involves the development of a fitted basic pattern with comfort ease to fit a person or body form.
A sloper is the starting point for flat pattern designing.
It is a simple pattern that fits the body with just enough ease for movement and comfort. Five basic pattern pieces are used for women’s clothing.
They include a snug-fitting bodice front and bodice back with darts and a basic neckline, a sleeve and a fitted skirt front and back with darts.
However, as fashion changes frequently women’s styles fluctuate frequently.
These basic slopers are then manipulated to create fashions.
Nowadays draping is also tested by Computer aid techniques.
A basic sloper has no seam allowances, which facilitates its manipulations to various styles.
It has no design interest, only construction lines are marked on it.
It is necessary that the basic structure of a sloper should be such that adjustments can be introduced easily.
For a good pattern making, accurate measurements are of utmost importance.

This document provides information about pattern making in the apparel industry. It begins with an introduction that defines pattern and describes pattern making as an art that involves shaping flat fabric pieces to fit the human body. It then discusses the different types of paper patterns, including standardized, individual, final, block, readymade, graded, and commercial patterns. The document also describes the main methods of pattern making, which are pattern drafting, pattern draping, and making flat paper patterns. It provides details on pattern drafting, including measurements, ease allowances, and construction guidelines. Measurement guidelines and tools used for pattern drafting are also outlined.
The document discusses different types of pattern layouts used in cutting fabrics, including open layouts with no fold, lengthwise and crosswise center folds, off-center folds, and double or combination folds. Proper lay planning is important for efficient cutting room management to reduce costs, save fabric, and finish cutting on schedule. The different types of folds are used depending on the placement of patterns, width of fabric, and style of garment being cut.
DART MANIPULATION ALLOWS ONE TO MOVE DART FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION TO A NEW POSITION IN THE SLOPER.
THIS SLIDE TEACHES STEP BY STEP WITH ILLUSTRATIONS HOW TO MOVE DARTS USING BOTH THE SLASH AND SPREAD METHOD AND PIVOT METHOD.
There are several key steps in the development of clothing construction:
1) Humans began wearing animal skins and furs for protection, modesty, and appearance starting 100,000-500,000 years ago. Sewing was initially done by hand.
2) The invention of the sewing machine in the 1800s revolutionized garment production by enabling mass manufacturing. This led to the rise of ready-made clothing industries.
3) Proper fitting involves five factors - ease, line, grain, set, and balance. A well-fitted garment is comfortable and looks balanced from all angles.
This document discusses the usage of darts in patternmaking. It defines darts as triangular folds in fabric that are tapered at one or both ends to allow a garment to conform to the body's curves. Darts are represented as triangular or diamond shapes in patterns. There are different types of darts including waist, underarm, and shoulder darts. Darts are used to control fullness and fit fabric to the body's anatomy. The size of a dart is determined by its angle, while its length and width can change if the dart is moved to a new seamline. Pivoting points and folding of darts are also discussed.
Draping is the process of positioning and pinning fabric on a dress form to develop a garment's structure before creating a sewing pattern. It teaches designers how darts and seams shape garments and give proper fit. Draping allows designers to experiment with different designs easily by changing fabric drapes and placements of darts. The main advantage is that designers can see the 3D form of a design before cutting and sewing, and adjustments are simpler than working with paper patterns. However, draping requires an accurate dress form and sense of the design's shape, and tracing the draped fabric takes more time than traditional pattern making.

Sewing. to make full, as by gathering or pleating. to bring (the cloth) on one side of a seam to a little greater fullness than on the other by gathering or tucking very slightly.
Pressing is an important finishing process in the apparel industry that uses heat, moisture, and pressure to shape fabrics and remove wrinkles. There are different types of pressing required for different garments depending on their design and material. These include no pressing for items like underwear, minimum pressing using steam for nightgowns, under pressing parts of garments before sewing, final pressing after assembly, and permanent pressing to maintain shapes after washing. Proper pressing helps increase garment aesthetics by removing creases and shaping darts and seams. A variety of pressing equipment is used including irons, steam presses, dolly presses, and tunnel finishers.
This document provides information about different types of stitches used in textiles. It begins with an introduction by Mazadul Hasan sheshir and then discusses 6 classes of stitches. Each class is summarized as follows:
Class 100 is a single thread chain stitch used for temporary stitching. Class 200 is a hand stitch used for costly garments. Class 300 is a lock stitch that is widely used and has high security. Class 400 is a multi-thread chain stitch used for knitted garments. Class 500 is an overlock stitch used to prevent fraying. Class 600 is a covering chain stitch used for decorative purposes and attaching elastic.

Pattern making is the process of creating paper patterns that are then used to produce garments. It involves manipulating flat pieces of fabric or paper to conform to the three-dimensional shapes of the human body. Traditionally, pattern makers would carefully craft custom patterns for individual clients. With industrialization, standardized sizing became important for ready-to-wear clothing production. Today, computer software allows for faster, more accurate pattern design and grading for various sizes. The flat pattern method remains widely used in ready-to-wear fashion due to its speed and precision. Core tools for pattern makers include large-scale paper, rulers, pins, and measuring tapes.

It describes various tools used for pattern drafting and their purposes. Finally, it gives guidelines for how to start drafting a sewing pattern by creating sloper templates based on body measurements to use as foundations for new patterns.
This document provides information about the draping process in fashion design. It defines draping as positioning and pinning fabric onto a dress form to develop the structure of a garment. Draping allows designers to sculpt one-of-a-kind designs through direct manipulation of the fabric. It is commonly used for couture and high-end pieces. The document also outlines various draping techniques, terms, tools used, and the steps involved in draping.
This document discusses various aspects of pattern making, including:
1. Pattern making is the process of manipulating flat fabric pieces to conform to the three-dimensional curves of the human body. It bridges the gap between design and production by translating designs into physical garment pieces.
2. There are three main methods of pattern making - drafting, draping, and flat pattern making. Drafting uses measurements to draw construction lines, while draping involves shaping fabric directly on a dress form. Flat pattern making manipulates existing patterns.
3. Patterns allow for quicker and easier cutting than draping or drafting, with less fabric waste. Patterns can also be reused or altered through techniques like grading.
This document contains 50 questions and answers related to garment patternmaking. Some key topics covered include:
- Pattern terminology, principles of pattern making, production patterns, flat pattern methods, and pattern development.
- Types of patterns like master patterns, basic block patterns, and sloper patterns.
- Pattern making techniques like drafting, draping, and flat pattern designing.
- Important pattern elements like markings, symbols, layout, notches, and grainlines.

2. The basic skirt pattern has two pieces (back and front skirt) and is drafted from an individual's body measurements to create a custom fit.
3. Instructions emphasize using accurate measurements and tools like hip curves, rulers, and French curves to draft smooth lines and ensure a proper fit.
This document discusses pattern making and marker making in garment production. It defines a pattern as a paper template used to cut fabric for garment parts. Markers are arrangements of patterns on paper that minimize fabric waste when cutting multiple sizes. The document outlines tools and methods for pattern making, important information to include on patterns like size and grain lines, and how to grade patterns for different sizes. It defines different types of markers based on garment style and fabric characteristics. The goal of markers is to efficiently arrange patterns to reduce fabric usage and costs during bulk production.
Darts are used in sewing to shape fabric to the body by curving straight fabric. There are two main types of darts: single pointed darts which are narrow at one end and wide at the other, and double pointed darts which are narrow at both ends. Different types of darts are used in different areas like the bust, shoulders, elbows, and waist. Standard darts are the most common type and help add shape, while darts can also be converted to ease to allow for a looser fit. Serged darts are useful for knit fabrics. Darts are an important technique in tailoring for creating good fit and design elements.

Drafting involves drawing patterns on paper based on body measurements and allows for accurate fitting. Draping involves placing fabric directly on a model or body. While draping allows for more styles to be tested, it requires more skill, fabric, and a model. The document also covers drafting personal patterns using measurements versus commercial patterns, and provides instructions for key principles of pattern drafting such as ease allowances and marking details on the pattern.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. Pattern making is an art. It is the art of manipulating and shaping a flat piece offabric to conform to one
or more curves ofthe human figure . Pattern making is a bridge function between design and production.
A sketch can be turned into a garment via a pattern which interprets the design in the form ofthe garment
components (Cooklin).
A pattern is flat while the body is not. The body has height, width and depth. With in this roughly
cylindrical framework there area series ofsecondary curves and bulges, which are ofconcern to the
pattern maker. Darts are the basis ofall pattern making. They convert the flat pieceofcloth into a three
dimensional form, which fits the bulges ofthe body.
A patternmakertypically makes a pattern from a flat sketch with measurements ora two dimensional
fashion illustration. The basic pattern is the very foundation upon which pattern making, fit and design
are based. The basic pattern is the starting pointfor flat pattern designing. It is a simple pattern that fits
the body with just enough easefor movementand comfort (Shoben and Ward).
Methods ofPattern Making
Pattern making involves three methods-
Drafting
Draping
Flat paper patternmaking
Drafting: It involves measurements derived from sizing systems or accuratemeasurements taken on a
person, dress orbody form. Measurements for chest, waist, hip and so on, and ease allowances are
marked on paper and construction lines are drawn to complete the pattern. Drafting is used to create
basic, foundation or design patterns.
Draping: It involves the draping ofa two dimensional piece offabric arounda form, conforming to its
shape, creating a three-dimensional fabric pattern.This muslin is transferred to paper to be used as a final
pattern (Armstrong). Ease allowances for movement are added to make the garment comfortableto wear.
Advantage ofdraping is that the designer can see the overall design effect of the finished garment on the
body form before the garment pieceis cut and sewn. However, it is more expensiveand time consuming
than flat pattern making.
Flat Pattern Making: It involvesthe development ofa fitted basic pattern with comfort easeto fit a
person or body form. A sloper is the starting point for flat pattern designing.It is a simple pattern that fits
the body with just enough easefor movementand comfort (Shoben and Ward). Five basic pattern pieces
are used for womens clothing. They include a snug-fitting bodice front and bodice back with darts and a
basic neckline, a sleeveand a fitted skirt front and back with darts. However,as fashion changes
frequently womens styles fluctuatefrequently. These basic slopers are then manipulated to cr eate
fashions.
2. Pattern Making
Pattern making is a highly skilled technique which calls for technical ability, and a
sensitivity to interpret a design with a practical understanding of garment construction.
For successful dress designing pattern making forms the fundamental step. This
function connects design to production by producing paper templates for all components
such as cloth, hemming, fusible etc. which have to be cut for completing a specific
garment.

3. Flat paper pattern making
01. Drafting: It involves measurements derived from sizing systems or accurate
measurements taken on a person, dress or body form. Measurements for chest, waist,
hip and so on, and ease allowances are marked on paper and construction lines are
drawn to complete the pattern. Drafting is used to create basic, foundation or design
patterns.
MEASUREMENTS
Bust – measure just under the arms around the fullest part of chest.
Waist – measure around narrowest part of torso.
3. High Hip – measure 6 inches [15.5 cm] below waist around the hips.
Back-waist length – measure from nape of neck to waist level
Shoulder length – measure shoulder from ball socket to side of neck.
Armhole depth – measure from nape of neck to under arm level.
Back width – measure from armhole to armhole across shoulder blades.
Neck – measure around base of neck.
Tools use for Drafting
A: Tape Measure
This is likely something you already have in your stash, because if you have been
making clothing you should have been measuring your body along the way! If not, pick
up a good quality fiberglass tape measure today so you can start your pattern making
off right with correct body measurements.
B: Seam Ripper
Like the tape measure, you probably have a seam ripper. You will use this in
patternmaking for taking out your basting stitches when you move from the muslin fitting
to the pattern drafting stage.
C: Fine Point Sharpie Marker
Muslin versions are always ugly because they are marked up, but you want to make
your markings with a permanent and fine point. I like these push-button fine point
sharpie pens as the cap always seems to get lost in my studio! These are quick and
easy to use.
D: Tracing Wheel
To take your markings from the muslin stage to the patternmaking stage, this tool will
pierce through the paper and leave behind marks to draft with a mechanical pencil.
E: Rotary Cutter
I like using my rotary cutter for the big broad strokes of cutting muslin. Make sure to use
a cutting mat beneath your item to protect the cutting surface of the table underneath!
F: Fabric Scissors
Sharp, high-quality scissors are used for all your fabric cutting in sewing and
patternmaking. These will shape the muslin down to the proper size after you have cut it
4. big and broad with the rotary cutter.
G: Tracing Paper
I personally do not use this, but many designers like it for leaving marks behind on their
muslins. I like a sharpie or tracing wheel, but try these sheets out and perhaps you will
love them! Many people do.
H: Scotch Tape
It is inevitable that you will need to tape pattern pieces together and I find that basic
Scotch tape is the best for this.
I: Clear Rulers
Having a variety of clear rulers in different shapes and sizes is essential in your kit for
patternmaking. I like having a little one for marking in tiny areas, long ones for making
marks for pin tucks, side seam lines, and other parts of the patternmaking process that
call for something longer than average. I also have a quilting square with diagonal lines
for helping square up corners and creating angles.
J: Right Angle
This is also a huge help in creating perfect 90 degree angles on your pattern. These are
also available in clear plastic, which most people prefer. I have had this black one since
art school and still use it.
K: Curved Rulers
To shape arm holes, hip curves, hems and other lines that are not straight in
patternmaking, it is essential that you have a few different curved rulers to get the
proper slope in your pattern.
Tools use for Drafting
5. 02. Draping: It involves the draping of a two dimensional piece of fabric around a form,
conforming to its shape, creating a three-dimensional fabric pattern. Ease allowances
for movement are added to make the garment comfortable to wear. Advantage of
draping is that the designer can see the overall design effect of the finished garment on
the body form before the garment piece is cut and sewn. However, it is more expensive
and time consuming than flat pattern making. Draping can be made on a Human body
or on a stand.

03. Flat Pattern Making: It involves the development of a fitted basic pattern with
comfort ease to fit a person or body form. A sloper is the starting point for flat pattern
designing. It is a simple pattern that fits the body with just enough ease for movement
and comfort. Five basic pattern pieces are used for women’s clothing. They include a
snug-fitting bodice front and bodice back with darts and a basic neckline, a sleeve and a
fitted skirt front and back with darts. However, as fashion changes frequently women’s
styles fluctuate frequently. These basic slopers are then manipulated to create fashions.
Nowadays draping is also tested by Computer aid techniques. A basic sloper has no
seam allowances, which facilitates its manipulations to various styles. It has no design
interest, only construction lines are marked on it. It is necessary that the basic structure
of a sloper should be such that adjustments can be introduced easily. For a good
pattern making, accurate measurements are of utmost importance.
7. Pattern making by CAD system
The flat pattern making method is widely used in the ready-to-wear market because it is
fast and accurate (Aldrich).

Computerised pattern making
At most large manufacturers, patterns are made on a computer with computer aideddesign (CAD)
systems, the pattern maker manipulating small graphic patterns on the computer screen with a
hand-held control device. Geometry drives can make an infinite number of changes to the shapes
and sizes the pattern including creating new design lines or adding pleats, fullness, and seam
allowances.To allow pattern makers to make patterns manually on a computer, another system has
been developed allowing the pattern maker to work life size on a sensitized table with traditional
tools and stylis that is attached to the table and the computer.
The stylis picks up the lines drawn on the table and shows them on the screen. Changes can also
be made directly on the screen.In both cases, patterns are immediately available for other
operations such as grading and marker making.The essential features of this technology are pattern
design and pattern generation systems.
Pattern design system the pattern maker inputs to the system all the block patterns in current use
8. and with the aid of the computer can construct garment patterns from them.Pattern generation
system when the pattern components for the top cloth have been developed on the computer via
pattern design system. The pattern generation programmer automatically generates the pattern for
auxiliary components such as linings and foibles.
Block Pattern
Block pattern is a basic pattern with out any style features and incorporates
the measurements, proportions and posture of the body for which garments, developed from this
pattern, are intended. Block pattern can be developed by either of the following methods.
The flat method
The components of the pattern, usually the body and sleeve, are constructed by a draft(technical
drawing) which incorporates the measurements and proportions of the particular system used by the
pattern maker. It cad be produced by a computer.
Modelling
It entails the fitting of the block garment usually in toile, on a workroom stand of the appropriate size,
when the fit balance are satisfactory, motile is removed from the stand and each component is
copied on to pattern paper and the necessary making up allowances added.

Grading:
By following production patterns approved sample is normally made for medium size
but if the buyer requires different size then we would have to grade the dimension like
S, L, XL, XXL, etc. Grading is an important term in garments manufacturing which
means step wise increasing or decreasing the master patterns.
9. Pattern grading method
For grading the following two techniques are commonly used:
Manual Grading:
The desired range of size is created one by one using pattern templates/master
patterns. A first master pattern pieces are sketched on the pattern board and then the
points are marked around the pattern pieces as per the direction of grade rules. In this
way we can get both the enlarged or reduced size patterns for all sizes of a particular
style of garments. A manually operated grading machine can also perform this job. This
device grips the master pattern pieces and places on the pattern board as per the
predetermined direction after which appropriate edge can be traced out maintaining the
grade rule.
Advantages:
Cost effective process
Disadvantages:
Time consuming process
Expected accuracy may not be obtained.
Computer Aided Grading:
At first grade rules are stored in the computer memory and then the computer can
automatically develop pattern sets for all sizes using the direction given in the grade
chart.
10. Advantages:
Quick process i.e. less time consumption;
High accuracy may be obtained
Disadvantages:
High initial cost is involved
Skilled operator is required.
Two types of grading are generally done in industry:
1. Half part grading: If the increasing is done in every sides of a pattern, then it
called half part grading.
2. ¼ th part grading: If the grading acquires increasing or decreasing in any two
sides of a pattern, then it is called ¼ th part grading.

Pattern Grading
Pattern Grading is the process whereby patterns of different sizes are produced from
the original master pattern. This process can be performed manually or automatically by
a computerized system. Patterns are graded according to size charts which present the
sizes and the average measurements of the population group for which the garments
are intended.
11. Garment Pattern Grading
Methods of Grading
There are three basic methods of grading: cut and spread, pattern shifting, and
computer grading. No one method is technically superior and all are equally capable of
producing a correct grade.
01. Cut-and-spread method: The easiest method, which is the basis of the other two
methods, is to cut the pattern and spread the pieces by a specific amount to grade up,
or overlap them to grade down.
12. Cut-and-spread method
02. Pattern shifting: Pattern shifting is the process of increasing the overall dimensions
of a pattern by moving it a measured distance up and down and left and right, (using a
specially designed ruler) and redrawing the outline, to produce the same results as the
cut-and-spread method.
Pattern shifting
03. Computer grading: This is the fastest method, but tends to be an investment only
larger manufacturers can afford. However, sophisticated home computer software is
becoming affordable.
13. Computer grading
Today most manufacturers grade pattern on CAD systems. The pattern maker guides
a cursor around the edges of the sample pattern on a digitized table. At each of the key
points, he or she pushes a button to record a grade point. Each point is cross
referenced by a grade-rule table stored in the computer, which enlarges or reduces the
pattern automatically according to the predetermined direction. If the pattern was
originally made by computer, data are already in the computer and can be enlarged or
reduced automatically.
14. Basic block pattern for female
It is necessary to draw the Grade lines from where the grading is done. As from those
lines the increasing or the decreasing of measurements will be done.

Pattern Making:
Patterns are paper templates for all the components of a garment, such as cloths,
lining, interlining which have to be cut for a garments. These patterns are used to draw
sketch on cloth or marker paper.
Steps of pattern making:
Patterns are made in two steps:
1. Block pattern.
2. Working pattern.
1. Block pattern:
Block pattern or basic block indicates the original pattern. Block Pattern is made based
on the specific and standard body measurement without any design or style. It is
produced according to exact dimension of body for different age group and gender.
Block pattern making method:
i. Flat method: In this method, different parts of garments, specially major parts are
made by technical drawing. In the technical drawing, proportion of different parts of a
garment is considered. This pattern can be made by both manual and computerized
method.
ii. Modeling: It is primary and first method and widely used in garment industry. Block is
made with standard body measurement of mannequin. This block is called toile. Toile is
worn on the mannequin and adjusted the pattern necessarily. Then Toile is worn out
from the body and individual parts of Toile are drawn on hard paper.
17. Manual pattern making
2. Working pattern:
Working pattern is derived from the flat method or modeling. Each and every pattern is
laid on the board paper to copy the block pattern. Then sewing allowance, Trimming
allowance, Button hole, button attaching, dart, pleat, Notch, shrinkage of the fabric, etc
are added with the copied pattern. Working pattern are needed for each an every part of
the garments. Working patterns are then cut with a sharp scissor or knife. Garment size
and name of the parts are written on the pattern pieces. Sample garments are made
from the working pattern.
Grading:
Grading means the step wise increase or decrease of a master pattern piece to create
larger or smaller sizes. The starting point can be the smallest size or the middle size.
Grading alters the overall size of a design but not its general shape and appearance.
Computer aided grading systems utilize internal calculation algorithms (grading rules)
for pattern construction.
Two methods of Grading:
1. Manual Grading
2. Computer aided Grading
18. Manual Grading:
The desired range of sizes is created one by one using a pattern template. Marks are
made around the master pattern at the appropriate distance and the marks are later
joined up to form the enlarged pattern. In this way a full set of templates, the pattern set
is generated.
A Grading machine eases the task of creating the pattern set. The device grips the
master pattern and displaces it by a precise vertical and horizontal distance, after which
the appropriate edge can be traced.
Computer aided Grading:
Computer based Grading systems are operating in one of two ways:
A.
1. The patterns can be cut out and can be used to make marker manually, if
necessary.
2. The graded sizes can be stored in the model files of the computer and recalled
when cutting markers for that style are to be planned on the system.
B.
1. The grading increments are fed in to the computer and the different sizes are
generated automatically using the same method as applied for manual Grading.
2. The pattern for each individual size is calculated separately starting from the data
in the size charts. The resulting layer of the patterns can be displayed to scale on
the computer monitor for visual assessment and if necessary adjustment.
Once the pattern set has been generated on the computer, it may be used in various
ways, depending on the level of automation in the factory.
In a fully automated system, the garment parts will be sorted automatically and
arranged in to a lay plan which can then be transmitted in the form of a control program
to the automatic laying and cutting system. Alternatively, the patterns can be sent to a
large plotting device where they will be drawn at full scale to serve as paper patterns for
manual cutting.
Some important definition related to pattern making:
Darts: The purpose of dart is to eliminate excessive fabric in a pattern so that it can
conform into the shape of a human body.
Grain Line: Pattern pieces normally carry a line is called Grain line. Grain Line of
19. pattern pieces usually is parallel to the warp (woven) or wale (knit). The actual direction
depends on whether the pattern is to align with the warp, weft, wale or course when laid
on the fabric for cutting. The direction of the grain line is therefore determined by the
designer.
Drill Holes: Drill holes are small holes drilled into pattern to indicate where other
components (such as pockets) should be superimposed.
Notches: Notches are cut into the pattern to indicate points where garment components
that are to be joined together.
