Thank you for purchasing a custom drafted pants block from the Consulting Dressmaker. Pants are tricky, but with a little work we’ll make a nicely fitting block you can use to alter commercial patterns or to draft your own pants, trousers, shorts and even knickerbockers. The block is intended primarily as a pattern alteration tool- it’s like a template. We fit from the natural waist- even if this isn’t where you prefer to wear your waistbands, it helps for the sake of uniformity. Let’s get started. You will need: • Muslin fabric, roughly 1.5 yds/m Use a medium weight woven, as you would for an ordinary pair of trousers. Once we perfect the fit, we can adjust the block for stretch fabrics. • Scissors, pins, etc • Ruler/guage to add seam allowances • Pen Print off the pants block pattern pages, fold or cut away the margins and assemble them. Most drafts are 8-10 pages, depending on how I lay them out. In the case of 10 pages, I will put piece 5 and piece 10 on the same piece of paper. Cut them apart and assemble.
