 PATTERN MAKING
FOR MEN
Buying
or making clothes for the big, tall or overweight man can be very
stressful and difficult. There is literally NO standard size that fits
properly. In addition, even if your teenage son, husband or boyfriend
appear to be regular size but have extra broad shoulders, narrow
hips or longer than average arms there still is a problem with regular
sized clothing garments or commercial patterns. Pattern making is the
answer to the problem. Why make patterns? The answer is very simple –
you will be using your own man’s measurements or the measurements of the
person you are wanting to sew for, therefore all the garments you make
WILL fit those particular measurements.
Each class begins by covering the basics of pattern making – how to take
the measurements, then using those measurements to make the original
bodice pieces, how to make collars, sleeves and various necklines you
can use to make an entire wardrobe of shirts, pullovers, slacks, jackets
and more. We will give you a wide variety of styles; however once you
learn and practice the basics, you will be able to draw patterns that
you see in pattern books, imitate clothing in department stores or any
item of clothing that you want to design for yourself.
Whatever the figure challenges are – extra tall, big belly, broad
shoulders, long arms, etc are taken into account when your own
measurements are taken.
Pattern making is not difficult to learn. Just as you would follow a new
recipe step by step to make a dessert or casserole, you also learn
pattern making one step at a time, with illustrations and diagrams to go
with each step.
