This week we started pattern cutting in preparation for our shirt project:

1. Drafting a classic shirt block and sleeves
2. Drafting a range of collars (mandarin and classic shirt) and cuffs
3. Adding darts and shaping, pockets and shirt tails

All patterns were taken from Winifred Aldrich’s Metric Pattern Cutting.

Definitely a left brain exercise, which I enjoyed when I treated it like a crossword or logic puzzle.
