Hello Clouds
Today, to complete our set of basic patterns or basic bodice patterns, I bring you the class to make pants patterns. if you want to see the past classes on this topic here you have the links:
Now, how to make your pants patterns?
You are going to need the following measurements:
💛Waist contour
💛Hips contour
💛Pant length (from waist to ankle)
💛Ankle contour
💛Crotch length
If you need help on how to take the measurements, check this post 👉 click here
About the crotch length: this is a very tricky measurement, and it's vital to get it accurate for a good result in our patterns. You can get it in 2 ways as shown in this image,
1: sit on a flat surface and measure from your waist to the surface
2: outside leg - inside leg = crotch length
For more explanations and more tips on how to get the perfect crotch measurement see the video class at the bottom of this post.
Note: This method is to trace customized patterns, so we are not using any chart of standard measurements. Customized patterns are made specially to fit the body type and real measurements, so for that, we use formulas you see in the diagram below, for example, when we divide our hips contour by 32 to get the crotch curve.
These formulas are based on the proportions in our bodies. Whatever is our body type, it is always proportioned so these formulas will work and we will get more accurate patterns than if we use a measurements chart. In this way for example, our armhole length is equal to one-sixth part of our bust contour, our front crotch extension is equal to divide our hips round by 16, etc.
