Intro to The Alchemy of Fit: Drafting Pants & Jeans
Starting with drafting the pattern we learn more about its relationship to the body and thereby understand better where fit corrections should be made and why, as well as their impact on other parts of the garment. Additionally, in drafting we learn the major base lines and the balance points of the pattern to then apply this to the sewn sample to evaluate, then transfer back again to the pattern.
Follow along with Pat as she drafts the pants and jeans using a modified-Mitchell system drafting first to spec, then to shape for fit. You can pause, rewind and re listen until you are comfortable in drafting. Also follow along and make notes in the PDF Field Guide.
Additionally hear about differences in global fit, and drafting to same spec but in different parts of the world. Why do pants drafted to the same spec, same tech pac, but in different parts of the world fit differently?
