Drafting Your Own Size For My 1940s Blouse Pattern
I want to begin first with clarifying that this is not how to draft any blouse pattern, but particularly my 1940s Vintage Inspired Blouse, from the previous blog post. Not necessarily a beginner's tutorial, but hopefully still simple to follow!
To draft this pattern you will need:
Measuring tapePencilA large sheet of paper (wrapping paper, wax paper, newspaper, etc...)CalculatorFrench Curve Ruler (click to download from https://growyourownclothes.com/)
1. So your first step is to gather your own measurements, whether for your self or another person. You will want your measurements to comfortable, not too loose or too tight.
You will need measurements of:
Bust*Waist*Length from base of neck to desired shirt lengthLength from base of neck to waistLength from top of shoulder to armscye (below armpit)Circumference of bicep*Length from base of neck to end of the shoulder
*You will need to add wearing ease. This is a fitted blouse so I would recommend 2 inches to the bust, and 1 1/2 inches…
