I actually had a little bit of free time today, so I decided that I’d finish something that’s been hanging fire for awhile.
I used to have instructions on how to draft very basic patterns. So, what I’ve done is written up instructions on how to make the Kameez part of a Salwar Kameez (at least the way I do it). From there, you probably wouldn’t have too hard a time extrapolating how to draft your own patterns if you sew.
If you don’t know how to sew yet, this would be a terrible way to learn. Try some easy commercial patterns first.
I don’t explain how to make facings or finishing for the neckline. If enough people can’t figure out what you’d need to do, I’ll write up some instructions, but for now, this is about as much free time as I have.
So, announcing
Pattern Drafting Down and Dirty!
