Pattern Cutting

Last week I started to pattern for the skirt part of my final garment for the fashion show! I started off by tracing around a size 12 front and back skirt block and extending it from the waist by 113cm.
For the front pattern, I folded it over and traced the other half to create a full skirt front when opened. I had to do this as the front skirt wasn't going to be symmetrical. I then drew the diagonal line across the front skirt - where the neon piping was going to go. I then traced off the two sections separately, calling them section 1 and 2. Finally, I added a 1cm Seam allowance and a 5cm hem.

To pattern for the back of the skirt all I did was trace around the back skirt block and extend by 113cm from the waist and add a 1cm seam allowance and a 5 cm heam.

After patterning the skirt fully, I was ready for the manufacturing!
