<span style="color: blue;">First of all a very big thank you to all you subscribed and visited my blog. It keeps me motivated. Its been a long time since my last post but I finally managed to find the time to get the draft done for the bra cut blouse pattern.There are many different methods to drafting this pattern, one of which is what I'm going to explain in this post. Measurements taken are pretty much the same.However I would touch on that subject again. For those who have tried to make the basic blouse pattern would find this draft easy to do. If you haven't looked into the basic blouse /dart blouse draft , I would strongly recommend that you do. Another thing I would be adding to the post this time and I'm sure many of you would find it helpful is pictures.</span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-20176169554496922832010-11-17T10:38:00.000-08:002010-11-17T10:38:58.393-08:00How to cut and sew the opening<span style="color: blue;">In the front draft the AB part which is 2 " should be cut separately and not with the pattern. This will be later used as an extension to the left side which will have the spaces for hooks to attach on to. The right side will have the hooks. The right side overlaps the left side. In the left side hook loops are located near where the extension AB and the left mid side of the blouse meet. I will be posting a picture of this very soon for everyone to understand clearly. If you decide to have a front opening you do as explained above or if you wish to have back opening you apply the same concept to the back side.</span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-2115305116199963802010-03-29T08:49:00.000-07:002010-03-29T08:49:39.415-07:00Things to note when drawing and cutting the patterns<span style="color: blue;">When cutting the back blouse pattern on your fabric you have to do it two times.Once without the 2" extension and then with the 2" extension,since this is a blouse with the back opening. Also remember to flip the patten according to the right and left side.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">When cutting the front blouse pattern you need to do it only once.Fold the fabric and place the front blouse pattern with the midside aligned with the fold of the fabric and cut along the pattern.To mark the darts I found that making slits through the pattern till the dart point ,allows me to insert the pencil to draw till the end point. Again flip the fabric and the pattern to the other side and draw the darts.Three in each side. The longer you make the blouse the longer the dart at the waist is going to be.</span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-44867268296045705952010-03-29T08:21:00.000-07:002010-03-29T08:23:33.444-07:00How to draw the sleeve pattern<ul><li><span style="color: blue;">A-C: From point A measure 4.5" and mark point C .This is a standard measurement.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">C-B: From point C measure [sleeve length minus 4.5"] =3.5"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">B-F: From point B measure 1.5" and mark point F.This for the fold.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">C-D:From point C measure [shoulder /2=8] and mark point D</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">B-E: From point B measure[base of sleeve /2 +0.5"=6.5"] and mark point E</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">A-D: Join point A and D</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">D-E: Join point D and E</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">H: Find the midpoint of line A-D and mark point H</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">I: Find the mid point in line H-D and mark point I</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">J: Now measure 0.5 inches from point H upwards in 90 degree angle and mark J</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">A-J-I: Now join point A ,J and I in a curved line</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">F-G: Measure 1.5" from point B upwards and then find the width from that point to line D-E. Use that measurement and measure from point F and mark point G. The idea behind in doing this is ; we want line E-G to align with line D-E when we fold the pattern at line B-E upwards.</span></li>
</ul><span style="color: blue;">The final step is to cut the pattern .Therefore you cut along line A-J-I-D-E-G-F-B-C-A.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_772983239"></span><span id="goog_772983240"></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">Congratulations !You have made your first saree blouse pattern.You can now tweek the pattern to incorporate any kind of neck design or sleeve design to make your very own custom made blouse.</span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-57512265262154122292010-03-26T07:05:00.000-07:002010-03-26T07:05:19.000-07:00Measurements and Calculations<span style="color: blue;">Before showing the steps to draw the sleeve pattern,we have to do some calculations.Here are the measurements I used earlier for the sleeve in the general template.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sleeve Length: 6"</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Base of Sleeve: 12"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>How to take the measurements</strong>:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sleeve length: Measure how long you would like the sleeve to be from the edge of the shoulder where you can feel the joint.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Base of sleeve: Measure around your arm at the point your sleeve length ends.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Calculation:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sleeve length:Measured Sleeve length + 0.5+1.5[stitching allowance]= 6+0.5+1.5=</span><span style="color: red;"><strong>8</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Shoulder/2= 16/2=</span><span style="color: red;"><strong>8</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Base of Sleeve= base of sleeve measurement /2+0.5=12/2+0.5=</span><span style="color: red;"><strong>6.5</strong></span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-26374492535676118442010-03-24T11:47:00.000-07:002010-03-26T06:46:04.158-07:00Sleeve Pattern<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzkeoXjRcsPfJE73xA1KCdhp7KRQLq91Tb5Q8TMJ9hgHHp0l-0OmDcXu4uwXW5wYhZ5Y-OEpKPWhscgOj_RpFY7HpjkQTznUIDGdjvXab0vJpDtK9Pl0snrUtiffWkGkGRPiNEW4nRdC8/s1600/sleeve+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzkeoXjRcsPfJE73xA1KCdhp7KRQLq91Tb5Q8TMJ9hgHHp0l-0OmDcXu4uwXW5wYhZ5Y-OEpKPWhscgOj_RpFY7HpjkQTznUIDGdjvXab0vJpDtK9Pl0snrUtiffWkGkGRPiNEW4nRdC8/s640/sleeve+pattern.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-42706606928165483022010-03-24T08:47:00.000-07:002010-11-17T10:56:23.599-08:00How to draw the back blouse pattern<span style="color: blue;">As you can see I have used the front blouse pattern but outlined a few lines in red. This is where the back blouse pattern differs from the front blouse pattern. Another point to note is that there are no darts in the back so its even easier to draw than the front pattern.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">So basically you draw the pattern like the front with these differences.</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: blue;">Back neck depth is 0.5 inches lower than the front neck.But if you wish you can make it even lower.The difference between line J-I and J1-I1 is 0.5 inch.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Now from line B-W measure 0.5 inch inward and draw a straight line starting from line J1-I1</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Next the length of the blouse in the back is 1 inch shorter than the front.Therefore measure 1inch inward from line W-X and draw line W1-X1</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">The length of W1-X1 is the back waist length.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Join point X1 and point H</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">As you can see I extended J1-I1 and line W1-X1 to meet line A. When cutting the pattern and if you decide to have a back opening;one half of the back pattern should get the 2 inch part extension attatched and the other side should be cut according to the pattern. This is for the opening and I will discuss it in a later post.</span></li>
</ol><span style="color: blue;">To cut the pattern cut along <span style="color: red;">E-I-J1[not till the point where it meets AB but 0.5 '" in wards]-W1-X1-H1-M[curve]-D-E.</span> </span><span style="color: blue;">Well thats how you draw the back pattern. I hope it has not been too confusing. If you have any questions please post it on my blog . My next post will be on the final part of the pattern making which is the sleeve part.</span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-51548759688783060702010-03-19T12:35:00.000-07:002010-03-19T12:39:44.067-07:00Back Blouse Pattern<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVJ3kOt6gu8U_G6r-LmzG2W5jcvkMPjxrkGMI0TJUeJGWIvEZGeTv-9u3v_0rEBnahQRsZFp_lW0kZjQML5mWXM8ZJG80k_0Ix13xqDvGqHupWHt49z9HJP-tlyuGyGHWu8jBQ2so5LSQ/s1600-h/Back+blouse+pattern.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px;

If the answer is 34 or 36" then the blouse pattern to be made is size LARGE.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#3333ff;">A ragal line is the name used for the lines drawn horizontally and vertically when beginning to create the pattern.This will be illustrated later in the diagram.The vertical line indicates the height of the ragal line.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#3333ff;">The height of the ragal line is measured differently for small and large sizes.For small sizes the ragal line height would be the bust measurement divided by 4.For lager sizes it would be the shoulder to shoulder measurement divide by 2.</span>Sonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277861844742240943noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195085357592358853.post-57919401022085973252009-03-17T22:29:00.000-07:002009-03-17T22:53:50.179-07:00Measurements to be Taken:<span style="color:#000099;">When taking the measurements wear a properly fitted Saree blouse or a bra.</span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><ul><li><span style="color:#000099;">Shoulder[sh]:Measure from one shoulder to the other.</span></li><li><span style="color:#000099;">Bust measurement:</span></li><li><span style="color:#000099;">Shoulder to Bust[sh -bust]:measure from your shoulder to the highest point of your bust.</span></li><li><span style="color:#000099;">Shoulder to Bra cut[sh-bra cut]:measure from your shoulder to the highest point of your bust and continue along the line to where your bra ends.</span></li><li><span style="color:#000099;">Shoulder to Blouse length[sh -blouse length]: this measurement gives the length of the blouse .
