The Practical System for Drafting Ladies' and Children's Clothing, Vol. 2: Designed for Use in the Public Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Practical System for Drafting Ladies' and Children's Clothing, Vol. 2: Designed for Use in the Public Schools
Double and place the lining flat on the table. Lay the edge of the pattern of front to the edge of lining. (place the bottom of pattern to the end of goods for the sake of economy.) Pin the pattern firmly to the lining. (the lining must not be lifted from the table while being pinned or traced.) Place the edge of the back to the opposite edge of the lining.
Place the side forms and under-arm piece so that the waist line runs parallel with the thread of the lining. (this will prevent the waist from having a twisted appearance when finished.) Trace in each section; first, the waist line and then all sewing lines. Trace slowly, pressing hard on the wheel so that the perforations may be clear and distinct.
N ote. - The tracing lines will show more plainly if a pine board or table is used.
Cut on the curves of neck and arm's eye; allow 1 inch on the under arm and shoulder seams, and 5 inch on all other seams.
