Bending my brain trying to work out how to draft a fitting sloper and fitting block based on my own measurements. I would love to see if I can use it as a base for other designs of my own. I have been following Suzy Furrer’s Blueprint class and enjoying that, but my computer keeps crashing, so my drawing is still at the halfway stage – I’m not sure how much of it can be seen in the photo, I am working lightly in pencil, so I can rub it out easily.
The Muslin and drawings on the left are ones I decided to drape for comparison, firstly on Audrey, my dress form, then adding alterations on top for me. Have you ever made a sloper? Did you find it useful, difficult, or easy?
I’m enjoying two you tube channels’ just now one is called Sew Custom and the other is The Closet Historian, Suzanne and Bianca have very different clothing styles, but both use fitting blocks based on their own measurements to design some beautiful clothing for themselves that fit really well, as they are based on their own measurements. Which is something I would love to try to learn to do.
