What is the history behind sewing patterns?

This technique began over 150 years ago. It started in 1860 when William and Ellen Demorest held a sewing pattern industry at their house as well as a fashion show to market their product. Then the Demorest created a magazine, the Mirror of Fashion, that contained hundreds of sewing motifs. It was a thriving business for a while.

Sadly, Demorest never patented their invention. It was taken by Ebenezer Butterick and he patented it. William and his family finally sold their companies. The first company, McCall Pattern Company, produced the printed version. In 1914, Vogue followed this footstep. Nowadays, many indie producers have shown up to compete in the market.

It is accessible to anyone as one can just open the internet and find and buy this design. Of course, it is cheaper because it is in pdf or digital format. There are even photos, drawings, and videos attached to the goods to help people make easy work.

How do we make clothes with paper models?

 If you possess a stitching machine, it is better to manufacture your own attire at home. There are several reasons behind it. The first one is originality. Since it is hand-made, there are only a few. You can make it a part of your identity. You can make this limited edition for your family as well. Secondly, it allows creative freedom. You can utilize your talent to make a unique and complicated dress.

There are several steps to be taken. Number one is preparing the materials. They are paper clothes designs (you can make them or buy them), garments, scissors, a sewing machine, a needle, threads, a ruler, a pencil, a zipper, buttons, and embellishments. First of all, put the pictures on the garments and cut them accordingly.

Start stitching with the machine. Make it whole with the needle and the threads. Of course, you have to be careful not to make any mistakes. After it is all done, you can put the zipper, buttons, and embellishments. Be proud of your craft!

How to choose good sewing markings?

If you want to shop for a good paper clothes model, there are many things to consider. First of all, you need to plan what kind of outfit you want to wear and search in concordance with your necessity. If you want to make a T-shirt, look for a shirt shape that is modern and sophisticated.

Secondly, select the one with limited details and difficulties. Look at the pieces and pick one that is simple and easy to make. Another thing is to see the drawings on the patterns, if there are many lines, it means it is too complicated and better be avoided. Lastly, think about how the attire fastens, a zip is better than a lot of buttons.

The most important thing is to make sure you can make good quality clothes without many obstacles in the process. If it is necessary, ask a third party for opinions. You can discuss each type and the implications of your work.

How to design your own clothes template?

If you want to be an aspiring designer, it is forbidden to take a clothes sketch and commercialize it. Hence, you need to learn to draw your own invention. Before you start to create, you need to do your study. You might need to buy a few picture books to observe or browse the internet to see existing templates.

There are two popular ways to do it. The first move is by deconstructing your own unused clothes to be a blueprint of an outfit. Pick one of your old clothes. Prepare the paper, a ruler, a pencil, a pen, and an eraser. As you go through each section of the clothes; its seams and nooks and crannies, you can start to draw on the paper carefully based on your observation. Do not forget the lines, buttons, zippers, and laces. Of course, there is a restriction with this method since it only applies to one wardrobe.

The second one is by modifying the existing blueprint of garb. Search for one on the internet. You can only utilize this for yourself and you can not market it. If that is in your interest, start by taking the measurements of the picture and you can add laces or pockets on your own paper. Be as innovative as possible with the shapes and colors. Happy inventing!

How does the modern sewing pattern develop in the industry?

During the 1950s, girls learned to produce attires at school. Home stitching became popular in the 1960s. The style of the costume was loose and simple. Vogue and Butterick joined and conquered the English market. Entering the 1980s, the culture of tailoring at home declined. Women plunged into the workforce and had little time for manufacturing garbs.

However, due to the internet, many independent small companies, the indie ones, started to flourish using these attire models. Not only do they focus on the objects, but they also empower customers with skills, confidence, and connection.
