Now that we have chosen what design we are going to make we need to make a toile.
For my bralet I used dressmakers tape to mark on the stand where i wanted the seams to go and what shape i wanted the bra cups to be, then using a similar fabric to what i will be using for the real thing i modeled on the stand to get each pattern piece. These were then digitised onto Modaris so that i could create my final pattern, adding seam allowances etc.
It took me quite a while to model it on the stand as there were five pieces to model and all were quite an awkward shape but once they were done i got a really good idea of how my bralet will look once its made.
Now that my pieces are on Modaris i have been able to adjust them so that all the notches match accurately and that all my seams are the same length. I have walked my pieces round to make sure that the seams will match when it comes to sewing them.
All I need to do to the bralet now is add seam allowances and its ready to print. I am pleased with how its come out but am worried that during my adjustments i have changed it too much and it will no longer look how i intend it to. I guess the only way i will find out is to print it off and make the toile.
For the knickers i found a basic 'pants' block to trace round, i made a rough toile of the pants and found that they were HUGE. I am going to have to digitise the pattern block into Modaris and reshape it to make it much smaller. Once this is done i will have a pattern for my knickers. This shouldn't take me long so with any luck i will start making my toile in our next practical session.
Fingers crossed it will all go to plan
