Block pattern
Pattern Pattern Pattern
1. Block pattern
it is made by drafting from the
measurements which have been
carefully taken from an individual
or from a model.
2. Construction Pattern
it is the intervening step between
the block and the final pattern.
3. Final Pattern
– provided with the necessary symbols that will
guide the cutter on how to lay out the pattern on
the cloth. Symbols for dart seam allowances,
grain line, center fold, notches and other markers
are used.
4. Commercial Pattern
refers to a standardized pattern, ready -
made and bought.
