I am pleased to participate in 1st week of SLC Season 22. I am starting with this course because last week I missed the first class which made me sad. This week, we will be learning Measurements necessary to trace the first item of children's clothing. So Let's start,

Indicate if you are going to work with industrial sizes or personal sizes.

Here I will be working with industrial sizes for this tutorial, as we all know industrial sizes provide a standard measurement that can be universally applied. It is my personal preferance.

Publish a tutorial where you explain the step by step of your line, make sure your words are coherent, your images. With more than 250 words.

As I said I will be working with industrial sizes and I will show you my measurements in cm. Since I will be using industrial measurements, I don't need to take any measurements separately. I will be taking measurements for a 4 year old child here because I have a 4 year old niece. I want to learn this for her. The industrial measurements for a 4 year old child are given below and their pattern layout is given below.

Step 1

This is the basic task. I draw a rectangle 25 cm long and 15 cm wide. 25 cm is the waist lenght and then the widthis 1/4 of chesyt contour +1 which is (56 ÷ 4) + 1 = 15 cm. I mark the rectangle as ABCD and make both front and back side.

Step- 2

Then I point 1 from A to B in both side. Here is took 1/2 of back width measurement which is 24÷2= 12.

Step- 3

Then I took shoulder drop measurement. It was 2.2 cm. Point 2 from 1 to indide the rectangle . As you can see in the picture i provided.

Step- 4

Now I work on point three. There is a formula for this. I took half back width measurement and minus 1. Then make a straight line. The measurement is (24÷2)-1=11 cm.

Step- 5

Point 4 is very important. I took 1/6 of back width from A to B. So the calculation is 24÷6=4 cm.

Step- 6

Point 5 from A to D move down. Here on the front 1/6 part of the back width plus 2 cm and back side 1.5 cm. The calculation is (24÷6)+2= 6 cm.

Step- 7

Point 6 from D to C, measure 1/4 of the waist circumference plus 1. Here I plus 1 because my model is 4 years old and for 1-6 years old kids we should plus 1 and for 7-14 years old kids we should plus 2. Here the waist cir umference is 56. So the calculation is( 52÷4)+1= 13+1=14 cm.

Step- 8

• From point 4 to 5- Drew a curved line for the neckline.

• Again from point 4 to 2 Drew a straight line for the shoulder.

• From point 2 to 3 - Drew a straight line and

• From point 6 to Chest Line - Drew a straight line for the side seam.

• At last measure 1.5 cm between point 2 and point 3. Then, drew a curve to form the armhole.

This is how my pattern is ready for my niece.

I am inviting my friends @sohanurrahman
