Patternmaking
I believe understanding the basics of patternmaking (and draping) has helped me greatly in executing apparel design and development. Without this crucial step, I would not be able to design or develop any kind of garment. This page shows my process of taking a design and configuring it into a two-dimensional figure. With my projects, I start by drafting a pattern card that lists out pattern pieces, trims, and potential fabric swatches. From this, I draft pieces by either using a pre-existing garment or a body sloper. With the case of the highlighted jacket and pant, I decided to find and measure out pre-existing garments in my closet. From there, I edited the fit and added in accents such as pocket style, etc.
Although this project and many of my projects consist of making patterns by hand, I have retained information on how to use Computer-Aided Software such as TukaCAD (intermediate) and CLO3D (pre-intermediate).
I enjoy making patterns as it has given me opportunities. Some brands I have made patterns for are Special Attachment, Sunday Prayers, VultureFoe, and K4azi.
