Advantages Of Paper Pattern

ADVANTAGES OF PAPER PATTERN:

         A good pattern of the right size which has been adjusted to suit your individual requirements will enable you to obtain a good fit.

         A pattern prepared on thick paper or card board can be preserved for a long time and can be used over and over again.

         By manipulating the basic pattern pieces it is possible to produce patterns for complicated and original designs. (For example, the basic sleeve can be adapted for a full sleeve or bell sleeve)

         A paper pattern of a particular size can be used to make new patterns of proportionately larger or smaller sizes by following a systematic procedure called grading.

         Cutting with the help of a paper pattern is quicker and easier than drafting straight away on the fabric.

         Use of a paper pattern will enable you to cut the garment with a minimum amount of fabric because it is possible for you to try out the placement of pattern pieces in different ways till you have found the most economical way to keep them.

         If there are any mistakes while drafting, these can be corrected in the pattern itself.

         Patterns can be modified according to latest fashion.

         In making one's own pattern there is a great scope for deriving personal satisfaction from the freedom to create our own design.

          By making different patterns, it improves our skills and gives us experience.
