Happy and beautiful night my needle lovers 🪡, once again today marks the second week since last Friday when I shared the first basic pattern making class at home with you. As I have explained, each class consists of explaining step by step the garment patterns that I have learned during the sewing course I am taking. The purpose of this class is to find for you a place where you can make pattern making something simple without so many complications and from them transform them into other pieces or adapt them to other sizes or to your own.

As I mentioned in the last class, I'll be showing you the basic flannel top with simple short sleeves for stretch fabric and without darts. The measurements I'll be using here are my own, and I'm a size "M," so you can replace them with your own measurements to create the pattern. Without further ado, let's get started! 🥰

Paso 01

Step 01

To draft the patterns, we start by taking our paper and squaring it at one corner. We draw a square with one-quarter of the chest circumference and half the back width. From left to right, we draw half the chest width, and from top to bottom, half the back width. We draw these lines. Now, from the top line, we mark half the back width again from left to right, make a point, and draw this measurement again on the horizontal line below. Then, from point to point, we draw a vertical line. Next, we measure the front waist from top to bottom and make a point where the front waist measurement ends. On both sides, we mark this point and draw a horizontal guide line. On this line, we draw one-quarter of the waist circumference and make a point. Again, we measure the length of the flannel shirt, the total length, and where the full measurement ends, we draw two points on both sides and draw another horizontal line below. We mark one-quarter of the hip circumference. If it extends beyond the line, that's okay; we make a point and continue drafting. line even if it is outside the vertical guide line on the right.

Step 02

We will now mark the standard measurement from left to right at the top. In this case, I'm using 8.5 cm for my preference; you can increase it to 9 cm if you prefer a wide neck. We'll lower that same measurement for a high round neck; of course, you can make it lower, in which case you would use 12 cm. With the help of a curved ruler, we draw the neckline, and from the base of the neck where the 8.5 cm ends, we will now locate the vertical line for the midpoint of the back width. We go down 2 cm from the standard measurement as the shoulder drop and extend the angled line from the point at the base of the neck to the 2 cm point. We will locate this point again on the vertical line and measure half of 17.5 cm. We mark a point, then below, we will mark the midpoint of the division again. We will make another point, and at the midpoint of the back of the point we have made, we go in 1 cm. Now we draw from where the shoulder drop point begins to where the bust contour line ends, following the points with a curved line; that will be our armhole.

Paso 03

Step 03

To guide us in making the back pattern in this case, it will not be necessary to take other patterns since this one in stretch fabric can serve as a guide, simply before cutting the pattern to guide us making the back we just lower 2 cm of drop at the neck and draw a semi curve to where the point of the base of the neck ends.

Paso 04

Step 04

Okay friends, now we're going to draft the sleeve pattern. For this, I've drawn a square with half the back width and the sleeve length. We'll make a square with these measurements: the back width is a horizontal line and the length a vertical line. Now we're going to mark half of the sleeve circumference on the bottom horizontal line, in this case 13.5 cm. We make a point and we're going to go down 9 cm from the right vertical line of the square (standard measurement). Then, on the line where half the sleeve circumference ends, we go up 2 cm. In this case, I'm using the standard amount of 2 cm so that the sleeve isn't too slanted. From that point to the point where the 9 cm we marked ends, we make a slanted line, and we make another line across the square from that point where the 9 cm ends to the top of the sleeve.

Paso 05

Step 05

To finish the sleeve pattern, we will mark the midpoint of the slanted line that crosses the square, and then, on both sides, the midpoint of the sides. We make a point in the middle of the sides, and on the left side we go up 1 cm and on the right side we go down 1 cm. Then we make a curved line that goes up and another that goes down. With this, we have our sleeve, which I then proceeded to cut.

Resultado: | Result:

This is how we have our patterns for both the front piece with the mark to cut the back piece of the flannel at the neck and our sleeve. With these pieces we can now cut our flannel. Remember that the left side is double, so when you cut the pieces, always place the fabric folded and the pattern on top.
