Why Test the Base Pattern?

Hello everyone, how are you? Today, I’m here to talk about the importance of trying on your base pattern on your own body.

Testing a base pattern is essential because it will be the foundation for interpreting various designs. To make these designs perfect, it’s necessary to test where there might be some imperfections.

I tested the pattern from my size small measurement chart and made the alterations I needed. It’s very important to test your base pattern with your own measurements. I tested the size small pattern because I work with that size and made the adjustments for my body.

I cut up an old shirt and tested it. I recommend using muslin fabric, as it is more suitable for testing.

I needed to adjust the neckline by lowering it 2 cm to make it fit correctly, and 1 cm on the shoulder.

For the back pattern, I had to lower it 1.5 cm and make a 1 cm adjustment to the shoulder.

I am in love with this pattern; it has no errors and is perfect! Always test your base patterns, and the results will be amazing.

Until the next post.
