Pattern Organiser – Trousers

Description

‼️This is a Downloadable File‼️

Ready to build your own library of sewing patterns? Here you have a 2 in 1. A Trouser Pattern Organiser and a cheat sheet to remember how to switch from one basic foundation to the next one. This is a downloadable A4 pdf that comes with:

• Project Plan Template: With all the information you need to write down after every pattern you design.
• Foundation Cover: This can be used to organise all the patterns you draft based on the foundation used. The foundations include: Culottes, Trousers, Slacks and Jeans. Every cover has visual and written instructions on how to draft the pattern based on the trouser foundation.
• Fixing Cheat Sheet: The most difficult part of making trousers is fixing the fitting issues, so I included a chart with the most common problems. For more information check the trousers 101 page.

The Template includes the following information:

• The Title – Give a name to your designs and make them more special
• Final Product Image – Be proud of how the final design turned out
• Fabric samples – Remember what fabric you used for the design (composition, meters and weight)
• Pattern information – What foundation did you use, where does the waistline sit, what leg-line style and details did you add?
• Sizing information – Our bodies change all the time, remember what size you were when you made the pattern
• Fabric requirements – What type of fabric is needed for the structure? How much lining or interfacing do you need?
• Observations – Keep track of all the changes you want to make in future iterations of the design
• Piece count – Write down all the pieces that come with the pattern and store them in one place
• Design drawing – We al know good drawings make good fashion designers!

How I sort my patterns: I like to have a binder with transparent sleeves for every type of garment in my wardrobe. I organise the patterns per foundation, starting with the cover and then the template for each design. I draft the pattern pieces in thin paper and store them inside the sleeve behind the template.
