Newbie Sewist Series: Designing and Pattern Drafting: Back Bodice

Before we add design elements to a bodice to draft the dress from the first video, I will walk you through drafting the bodice itself.

In this video we will draft the back of the bodice, with subsequent videos for drafting the front of the bodice, the skirt, and I will also show you how to come up with a bodice or bottom sloper from something you already own.

Supplies needed:

Sharpened pencil
Good eraser
Paper (such as newspaper, wrapping paper, drafting paper, graphing paper, etc)
A straight edge of some sort for forming lines and measuring
Mesuring tape or some other material to take body measurements
Scissors
Tape
And about 30 minutes more or less.
