Pattern Cutting- Manufacturing a shirt pattern

Today in pattern cutting, we traced a first draft pattern using a shirt block we then used our pattern as the basis of our final pattern. We created our final pattern by tracing over our drafts. First of all we had to trace the yoke of the shirt by tracing the top part off the back shirt we then added a 1.5cm seam allowance around the outside of the yoke pattern piece. We then had to trace off the rest of the back shirt pattern, we drew around the draft, then we had to add a 1.5cm seam allowance around the outside of the back shirt pattern however we didn’t have to add a seam allowance to the cut on fold line, we were going to cut on fold once. We then had to add in a cut on fold symbol to show that this is what is needed during manufacturing. We then had to draw a line parallel to the centre back line as this was our grain line, Also we had to add in a back pleat.

Then we just had to trace out our front shirt pattern as it was except we had to add a 1.5cm seam allowance around the outside. We then had to take a small section of the front shirt as this was going to be where we added inter facing. We had to trace around the centre front line, the fold line and the seam allowance line as this was going to be where the interfacing was added to.
