Flat pattern making

Flat pattern making is a technique used in fashion design and garment construction to create templates for clothing. It involves taking a three-dimensional garment idea and representing it as a two-dimensional layout on paper or fabric. Designers draft patterns that outline the shapes and pieces needed to assemble a finished garment, such as sleeves, bodices, and skirts. This method allows for precise measurements and easier cutting of materials, ensuring that the final product fits well. Flat patterns can be modified for different styles and sizes, making them a fundamental step in the apparel design process.
