Pattern Development

Pattern #1Done before talking to a pattern maker, knowing very little about making patterns.

Design #1Overall form too small. Sewn form too flat, too much tension in the fabric, causing folds.

Design #2Overall form too small. Sewn form too flat, too much tension causing folds.

Pattern #2Spoke to a plush pattern maker before drafting these patterns; learned how to add darts.

Design #1Sewn form too square, top of head and feet need to be rounded out.

Design #2Sewn form too disproportionate, head too round at the top, and arms didn’t sit right.

Pattern #3Built off of previous patterns, using what I learned about pattern making to fix previous issues.

Design #1Sewn form was disproportional, legs were too thin, arms were too long.

Design #2Sewn form was disproportional, arms were too long, and legs were too thin.

Pattern #4Built off of previous patterns, using what I learned about pattern making to fix previous issues.

Design #1Sewn form was smooth, but legs were too square.

Design #2Sewn form had too much tension in the fabric, but overall form was proportional.
