Assuming you would like a brief overview of the steps involved in creating a sewing pattern: <\/p>\n

The first step is to create a sketch of the garment you want to sew. This can be done by hand or digitally. Once you have your sketch, you will need to decide on the sizing and measurements for your pattern. Once you have your measurements, you will need to transfer them to pattern paper. You can buy pattern paper, or you can make your own by tracing around large sheets of tissue paper or dot and cross paper. <\/p>\n

After you have transferred your measurements to the pattern paper, you will need to add seam allowances. Seam allowances are the extra fabric that is sewn into the garment to allow for movement and wearing. They are typically between 1\/4 inch and 1 inch. <\/p>\n

After you have added seam allowances, you will need to cut out your pattern pieces. Once you have cut out your pattern pieces, you will need to label them so you remember which piece is which when you go to sew your garment. <\/p>\n
