..."pattern ease - ease included in your sloper<br />= amount of ease to add back into the pattern after adjusting<br /><br />1 - 0.5 = 0.5"<br /><br />But then later the example has 0.5 inches added to the half of the front, which would mean really adding 1 inch to the front, and presumably another inch to the back. Shouldn't the ease be divided up between those 4, so 0.125 inches to each quarter of the garment?Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-59170215699230068492011-05-03T07:24:58.666-05:002011-05-03T07:24:58.666-05:00Hi thanks for all these wonderful tutes on draftin...Hi thanks for all these wonderful tutes on drafting etc. Up until I read your blog drafting princess seams had mystified me. Now you go a wonderful step further and teach me how to use my sloper to fit commercial patterns. Finally I will get some value out of my pattern collection!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590694080610406260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-89528047624419532162010-10-14T08:32:33.315-05:002010-10-14T08:32:33.315-05:00I linked to your tutorial over at Craft Gossip Sew...I linked to your tutorial over at Craft Gossip Sewing:<br />http://sewing.craftgossip.com/tutorial-using-slopers-to-adapt-a-commercial-pattern/2010/10/14/<br /><br />I agree about seam allowances! When I first started sewing, I only used patterns that had them built in and it was inconceivable that I'd ever want a pattern without them. But once I started using some Burda patterns and creating my own patterns, I got used to the flexibility of adding my own allowances.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317150870888315110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-53739503429535719152010-10-13T14:06:29.508-05:002010-10-13T14:06:29.508-05:00Well hurrah for European patterns, then!
I suppo...Well hurrah for European patterns, then! <br /><br />I suppose if a person grows up being exposed to inbuilt seam allowances, they get used to always having them, just as I have gotten used to not seeing/having/using them. To each his/her own, I guess. Just not mine.LiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-44038578051342079752010-10-12T07:30:05.128-05:002010-10-12T07:30:05.128-05:00Burda patterns are made without seam allowance add...Burda patterns are made without seam allowance added in, and Americans are always complaining about that. If I remember correctly from my high school sewing ventures, European patterns never have seam allowance added in; it's just the Burda ones that have made it across the ocean...MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.com
