Draw the sleeve pattern by covering the bodice block with tracing paper, using armhole, sleeve length, and joint circumference measurements, then plot lines, notches, and cut out the sleeve pattern.
Fit the bodice and sleeve mockups by pinning the center back seam, side seams, and center front, then adjust the shoulders and armhole and mark the fabric at each pin.
Learn to move a dart to the side in pattern making by transferring points, cutting folds, and taping to create a new side-line dart for varying bust sizes.
Download and print documents; measure waist circumference, crotch depth, hip circumference, waist-to-hip, waist-to-floor; ensure paper is seven centimetres longer than waist-to-floor and wider than a quarter of your hip measurement.
Create a mock-up by transferring pattern to calico and drawing lines with seam allowances and zip lines. Pin darts and crotch seams with right sides together, then adjust fit.
Add a fly front to your pattern using a downloadable template, align with center front and waist. Measure seam allowances and waistband length, then fit, adjust, and estimate fabric yardage.
