@soapie@mastodon.catgirl.cloud I'm in my 70's. We learned to draft our own patterns, but some items were basic. I also hand-sewed seams and hems. I never did get the hang of treadle machines. @4censord@unfug.social

@soapie@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @4censord@unfug.social I actually studied modelism for a year. That’s how I learnt it. The other option is to take a garment you like and that fits well and „copy“ the pattern from that.

@soapie@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @4censord@unfug.social I once made a party dress without a pattern, so I ticked yes for that. I sort of shaped the fabric around me and marked where to stitch, and then stitched, and then put it on and marked it again and stitched it again. And then I drew a pattern of shapes onto the fabric with iron-on crayon. It wasn't something I would've worn to go to the shops in :-) I think one of my later dresses was partly based on the shape of that one, but I did make a pattern on paper first that time.
