Prepare the Base Pattern
Determine the Collar Styled
•For a basic collar, determine the width of the collar (e.g., 2.5–4 cm).
•Mark this measurement perpendicular to the neckline at intervals along the neckline
curve.
Extend a line outward from the neckline at a right angle to create the
collar stand.
Typically, the height of a collar stand is around 2–3 cm.
Shape the top edge of the stand using a slight curve to follow the
neckline.
Draw the outer edge of the collar.
Use a French curve for a smooth and rounded edge or a straight ruler
for a crisp edge.
Add seam allowance (usually 1–1.5 cm) around the entire collar.
Cut out the collar pattern and place it on the neckline of your base pattern to
ensure a proper fit.

Measure the neckline circumference on the garment pattern or your body
measurement chart.
Decide the height of the collar stand (e.g., 2-3 cm) and the collar fall (e.g., 4-5
cm).
Draft the Collar Stand
On pattern paper, draw a horizontal baseline equal to half the neckline
measurement (e.g., 18 cm if the neckline is 36 cm).
At both ends of the baseline, draw vertical lines equal to the desired collar stand
height (e.g., 2.5 cm).
Use a French curve to connect the top ends of the vertical lines, creating a slight
upward curve to match the neckline contour.
Draw the collar length: Draw a horizontal line equal to the collar stand's top curve
length.
Determine the collar width: At both ends, draw vertical lines to mark the desired
collar width (e.g., 5 cm for a standard collar).
Shape the collar edge: Use a French curve or ruler to create the desired shape
for the collar tips or curve.
Draw a gentle curve for the inner edge to align with the collar stand’s top curve.
Add seam allowances: Add a 1 cm seam allowance around the collar pattern.
PUFFED SLEEVE
For this,
Centeralize the sheet according to given measurement: 6.6cm
•Trace the basic sleeve block onto pattern paper.
• Mark the grainline, front, and back notches for reference.
• Draw vertical lines from the sleeve cap to the hem, dividing the sleeve into
4 to 6 equal sections (more sections = more even puff).
• Number the sections for easy identification.
• Cut along the vertical lines, stopping just before the sleeve cap to keep it
intact.
• Tape the sections onto another piece of pattern paper, maintaining the
original sleeve cap shape.
• Smooth out the sleeve cap curve using a ruler or French curve to remove
any jagged edges.
• Add extra height to the sleeve cap (about 1–2 inches) if a more
pronounced puff is desired.
• Connect the hem points to create a smooth curve.
• Add seam allowance (usually 1/2 inch) around the entire sleeve.
• For a gathered hem, extend the hemline by 1–2 inches to create a casing
for elastic or to allow gathering with a stitch.
• Label the pattern with grainline, notches, and any instructions.
FLARED SLEEVE
For this,
Centeralize the sheet according to given
measurement:
3.7cm and one box of 6.4cm.
•Use these measurements to draft a standard sleeve pattern.
•Place your basic sleeve pattern onto pattern paper and trace it.
•Mark the grainline, cap height, and other key points.
•Determine how much flare you want (e.g., slight flare, bell-shaped, or extreme
flare).
•The amount of flare affects how wide and long the sleeve will become.
•Draw vertical lines from the sleeve cap (head) to the hem. Divide it into 4-8
equal sections, depending on the flare’s fullness.
•Cut along the vertical lines but leave the sleeve cap intact (do not cut all the way
through).
•Spread the sections apart evenly to create the flare. The wider the spread, the
greater the flare.
•Tape the spread sections onto a new piece of pattern paper.
•Use a curved ruler to draw a smooth, continuous hemline. Ensure the hem isn’t
jagged or uneven.
•Add seam allowances (typically 1.5 cm) to all edges of the new pattern.
•Label the pattern with details like sleeve type, grainline, and notches.

. Draw the Basic Rectangle:
On the pattern paper, draw a vertical rectangle.
Width: Hip circumference ÷ 2 + 2 inches (for ease).
Height: Desired skirt length.
Divide the length into two sections:
Waistline: Top edge of the rectangle.
Hip line: Measure down from the waistline (usually 7–9 inches depending on
height) and draw a horizontal line.
From the top corners of the rectangle, measure inward:
(Waist circumference ÷ 4) + 1 inch (for seam allowance).
Connect these points to the hip line using a curved line for the side seam.
Extend the bottom hem outwards by 1–3 inches (or more, depending on the flare
you want) from each side seam.
If the skirt includes darts, measure about 4 inches from the center front/back
towards the side seams and mark the dart position.
Make darts about 1 inch wide and 4–6 inches long to shape the waistline.

. Take Measurements:
Waist circumference: Measure around your waist where you want the
skirt to sit.
Desired length: Measure from your waist to where you want the skirt
to end.
Draft the Pattern:
Calculate fabric width:
For knife pleats, multiply your waist measurement by 3.
For box pleats, multiply by 2.5 (more fabric equals deeper pleats).
Add seam allowance (about 1 inch on each side).
Add 2 inches to the length for hemming and waistband.

Determine the desired width of the cuff. Typically, cuffs are between 1
to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 cm) wide.
Length: Sleeve opening circumference + seam allowance (usually 1/4
to 1/2 inch or 0.6 to 1.2 cm on each side).
Width: Desired cuff width × 2 (since it folds in half) + seam allowance.
Draw a line across the middle of the rectangle (lengthwise). This will
be the fold line.
Add Notches for Alignment
Add small notches or marks on the edges of the cuff pattern to align it
with the sleeve during sewing. Place these at the center and ends of
the cuff.
