The Make Your Own Blouse Patterns class
instructs you on how to take your measurements then how to use your own
measurements to make basic patterns. The basic patterns can then be changed
according to the pages and pages of various styles of blouses to make whatever
design you'd like to have.
Although this book contains many pages of
sleeve and collar styles to go with the assortment of bodice designs, you're not
limited to what you see on these pages. You can use your imagination to come up
with designs or copy patterns from pattern books or copy ready-to-wear blouses
and tops you see on the store racks.
I always carry a small note pad in my
purse so that when I see a top that someone is wearing, or in a department store
or pattern book that I like, I immediately sketch it in my note pad. When I get
home I match the collar style to one in this book, then match the type of
sleeves to one in this book as well as the bodice style (fitted, semi-fitted,
loose, etc.), then put those pattern pieces that I've made according to my
measurements together and presto! A perfectly fitting blouse that looks exactly
like the one that I've sketched.
Sometimes people would rather use styles
that are already made up so that they can visualize what it will look like on
them "as is" without having to change around the collars, sleeves, etc. That's
fine too -- there are pages and pages of blouse styles in this book for you to
choose from. You'll never have to have two blouses the same!
As with all other pattern making classes,
you'll be using your own measurements to make these garments, so you can be
assured of a perfect fit every time! When you use a commercial (store bought)
pattern, you get a clothing pattern that is closest to your measurements,
then start to adjust the pattern to try to get it to fit properly. By making
your own patterns, you use your measurements, so the pattern has no choice but
to fit you. It makes no difference if you're a 1x or 8x size, or
anywhere in between, you're going to have a sewing pattern and garment that will
fit YOUR measurements.
