Cut & sew a test garment to see if you need to
do any pinch-fitting for your unique figure.
If necessary, adjust your sloper pattern for
any pinch-fitting changes that you made to the test garment.
Tip: Slopers will gently fit
anyone with the same height and measurements until pinch-fitting,
which makes them unique
Step 3: Style the sloper into a fashionable
pattern:
Style your patterns manually using either
CADTERNSLite or CADTERNSPro
Style your patterns digitally using
CADTERNSPro with a CAD (Computer Aided Design)
program (not included)
With as few as four measurements, CADTERNS
enables you to draft personal slopers ready to print or plot for manual
patternmaking or to import from a CAD program for digital patternmaking.
Styling personal slopers results in pre-fitted
personal patterns that fit just as well as your sloper every time. Every
home sewer can be a recreational stylist, fashion designer and personal
patternmaker.
Now, that’s exhilarating!
