Pattern drafting

Pattern drafting is the process of creating templates used in garment making. It involves drawing shapes on paper or digitally that represent different parts of clothing, such as sleeves, bodices, and skirts. These patterns allow designers to cut fabric accurately and assemble garments in the desired fit and style. Essentially, it's the blueprint that guides the construction of clothing. Pattern drafting can be done from scratch or adapted from existing patterns, and it requires skill in measurements and an understanding of how fabrics behave when sewn together.
