Hi, I'm Moni, the face behind the hands
of the Cutting Deconstructed videos you may or may not have seen on Instagram.
I wanted to talk to you about a bodice block
and what that means to, what that will mean to you if you're following the videos that
are being revealed over the next three months at
Seamwork.
The way to approach pattern cutting,
there are two different methods -
you can either drape on a mannequin with fabric or you can use a flat
pattern block, which is a template which is traced
and used to actually create the actual pattern.
This pattern is then toiled in a rough
calico or a cotton, and it's fitted and then it's then I guess
transferred all the alterations that you might make to this
toile are then transferred to the first
pattern, which is then redone as the second pattern.
And your garment will then be made
from this finished pattern and will be ready to wear.
So if you want to take part in following these videos,
then it's probably a good idea to have a bodice block pattern, and then you can
join me and enjoy the processes involved in patent cutting and thanks for watching.
