As part of my evening Pattern Cutting course, I am required to produce blocks for myself and someone else. To challenge myself, I decided to venture over into menswear and produce a bodice, shirt and trouser block for my boyfriend.
First I had to measure him up, but to start with I followed a set of sizes from a book based on his chest size.
After producing my front and back block, I then had to draw around it so I weighed it down and added any seam allowances neccessary.
I then cut around it, sewed it together and tried it on my model. It will require taking in on the sides a little but it was overall a good fit.
The next block for me to make is a sleeve.
