Sewing Custom Blocks and Slopers

Nov 18, 2018

    1. I found this website for creating custom Blocks and Slopers: PatternLab

      The site creates human sized patterns. It will not work if the measurements are too far outside normal human proportions. I multiplied my Msd's measurements by 5 so they would fit within the accepted human size range and then in illustrator I shrunk the pattern. I still had to alter the patterns to get them to fit my doll properly.

      the website also offers free tutorials on how to edit the patterns on illustrator, which is also handy.

      Hopefully this is helpful :)

    2. I'll have to try this. I wanted to do a viking dress using a human pattern generator and had issues.
       
    3. They’ve made it easier use for dolls,at first it wouldn’t let me input measurements that went beyond normal human proportions, so it still required altering. Now they’ve change the program so it just gives a warning that it’s outside the limits.
