I’d like to start putting up some basic pattern drafting lessons soon so I might as well post the things you will need to follow the instructions. Pattern cutting tools can be pretty expensive but if you plan to have a career in fashion design you will need to invest in them at some point.
That said however, I haven’t really bought all my own tools yet due to money issues so I’ve came up with some alternatives to get me by for now. You will definitely be needing a pair of sharp scissors and pencil though, but I’m pretty sure everybody can get access to those :)
So here is the list of tools and there alternatives I’ve came up with:
Ideally | Alternatives |
L square ruler | Right Angle triangle ruler |
Awl | Sharp pencil |
Notcher | Scissors |
Grade N Rule or French Curves | Large compass or guess work |
Dot and Cross Pattern Cutting Paper | Left over wallpaper roll |
So I hope this is helpful, if there are any tools I’ve missed out let me know, and if you have any better alternatives available, that would also be great. Thanks.
