Altering and Drafting Historical Patterns Video

The next installment in my historical sewing video series is here!…and long over due!

Today it is all about pattern drafting. Β Join me as I show you how to take a simple grid pattern or pre-made paper pattern and alter it to fit your desired shape and look.

    I would love to see a timelapse video of how you make/draft/alter a pattern for something you may already be doing for your shop. You wouldn’t even have to narrate it, although that would be lovely too!
