ABOUT THE COLLECTION:

I have chosen this collection because it was a very practical set of patterns; it includes a little bit of everything I needed:  fitted tops, shirts, skirts and tailored jackets.  I knew with all the combinations and I was been able to make hundreds of patterns, so I ordered this one.

I chose the fitted blouse, because it is a classic look with lots of options on a wardrobe.  However, you can also choose other modern details to it.

Now, choose the amount of ease: normal, minimum and maximum and you will be adding the ease to the pattern.20160226094742

 

After, you will have the option for princess to shoulder seams or bust dart seam.20160226094805

Then, the option for collar will show up, so you can choose between a convertible collar :20160226094830

Choose between the sleeve styles.  The one in the picture is the dropped sleeve style:20160226094854

 

Then, you will be able to add a short or long sleeve.20160226094916

 

And finally the option of shoulder pads or no-shoulder pads, so you can add a little bit of flare to the pattern 😉

20160226094936

 

SOOOO many options to choose and create hundreds of patterns!

 

After deciding the main design of your blouse, choose the size of it.  If you can see, I have added a ”Daniela” measuring chart.  You can add specific measurement charts for friends, family and customers.

 

To add a measurement chart to the program, check at the end of this post and learn more.

After this, you will be able to choose the length of the shirt  and the seam allowance, this is very useful especially if you want to try the pattern without seam allowances.

And this is how the pattern pieces will look like or depending of the pattern you have chosen.20160226101504
