PATTERN MAGIC
Pattern making is to cut and join flat pieces of fabric to assemble into a 3 dimensional garment.
Take the pieces of a 3 dimensional garment apart and flatten them, to get individual pattern pieces.
The relation between the flat pattern pieces and the 3 dimensional structure of the garment never changes.
You can create a garment by cutting, moving and reassembling the pieces of a pattern, just like the pieces of a puzzle.
Use your original designs to make new patterns.
Starting with BUILDING YOUR OWN BASE and building the Tomoko Nakamichi Bamboo shoot top.
