Why I Prefer Self-Drafting
Commercial sewing patterns are a fantastic shortcut.
However, every garment in this guide can also be recreated using basic patternmaking principles and a well-fitting set of blocks.
For each garment, I included:
- Bodice modifications
- Dart adjustments
- Neckline changes
- Sleeve changes
- Closure placement
- Skirt and pant shaping
Once you understand these core techniques, you can recreate nearly any designer-inspired garment without purchasing additional patterns.
