“Sloper/blank” question.

Sep 17, 2005

Watch Thread
    1. I’m drafting blanks out of "A Guide To Tailored Clothes" and I have a few questions.

      If my shoulder points are the bumps where my scapula and the clavicle meet, are the shoulder points on my doll where the arm-ball meets the body or the outer apex of the arm-ball?
      Did that make any sense :?

      How much ease to start with in fitting ¼”, ¾”, 1 inch?

      I’ve already made a pair of pants out of this book that turned out great. I just don’t understand how it happened. :cry:

    2. Ok I asked my boyfriend who took costuming classes in college. He says it's been a lot of years since he's done anything like that (he's a stagehand not a costumer hehe), but from from looking at my dolls and such he thinks the point would be just a tiny little bit out from the actual joint between the arm and the body.

      He has been nagging me to make slopers for my dolls too....so if I ever get started on that I'll take pictures hehe :D

      But I hope that helps!
