DETAILED: What Is Pattern Making (vs Pattern Drafting vs Draping vs Contouring)?

Ever wondered what the difference is between is pattern making, pattern drafting, draping and contouring? In this detailed video I explain what is pattern making as well as how it differs from pattern drafting and pattern cutting! You’ll also learn the difference between a moulage, a block and a sloper. Because sewing is fun, but patternmaking is even MORE fun! If you love fashion design or making your own DIY clothes, then learning how to make your own patterns is the next step. You’ll learn why making a basic bodice block is ‘pattern drafting’ but using pattern manipulation to change it makes it a sewing pattern! And although I don’t show you how to contour a bodice in this video, I do explain what bodice contouring is and I’ll be covering that in a future video!
