Some manual patternmaking basics - rulers, pencil, notcher, oak tag board
Call me crazy but I love patternmaking. Especially when it's done the old-school way- no high-tech Gerber and Lectra software and computers, just nice, reassuring, brown tag board, sharp pencils, and funny shaped rulers.
OK, I did indulge myself and bought a little metal tool that just cuts notches into cardboard.
It's a bit like going back to kindergarten, (well I am using kindy paper!) lots of drawing and cutting out.
Today I'm grading (drawing up in different sizes) a
dress I made for my niece Elke. Off to the print shop now to make some copies to sell in my Etsy store!
