Watching #VisionPro reviews it occurred to me that if interacting with 3D models is really, really good it’ll be a complete game-changer for #PatternDrafting and creating custom garments. You could make models match real bodies curve for curve, even as the same bodies change over time. Physical custom dress forms run $2000+ and match one body at one moment in time.
No clue whether the Vision Pro is that good, but something will be and I’m so excited!
First image is my entire pattern. We got taught this 1:10 scale method of #PatternDrafting in dressmaking school. 1mm on paper corresponds to 1cm in actual size. It's an extremely easy and quick way to make rough drafts and even geometric calculations: if you know one measurement but not the other, and use very fine pencil or pen, you can simply measure it off the paper. (More below, if you're curious)
If you know two points or measurements but not the third and are using a sharp pencil or pen, you can pretty much just draw whatever in, measure it off the paper and jot it down, and now you know what measurements to use when drafting the actual one-to-one scale pattern, or simply measure it off to the actual fabric and cut. The 1cm to 1mm equivalency is really easy to remember and it's just a neat way to not have to mess with a large amount of pattern paper if you're only just trying to figure things out in general. If you have a scale drawing of your basic block, you can just design patterns without using up almost any patterning paper.
The dreaded May dress project is two tasks away from finished. I need to hem the length and tack the pockets to the waistband. I'm not full on happy with it, but honestly it's probably because it took me so long. -Oh and find all the loose strands because I hate finding those while I'm out in public.
