Method of drawing draft
 |
| Figure 1 Draft |
Draw the draft on a folded sheet of paper.
Mark point A on the fold
On this line mark C such that A-C = ⅟₄ chest + 2”
A-B = full length + 1”( from shoulder line to hem)
Draw perpendicular lines from points A, C and B.
On the perpendicular line at A, mark points D and G such
that A-D = A-C and D-G =4”.
On the perpendicular line at C, mark points E and H such
that A-D =C-E and D-G =E-H.
On the perpendicular line at B Mark point F such that B-F
=A-D. Produce Line B-F to O such that F-O=5”.
Join points D-E-F and G-H.
On the line E-H mark point J such that E-J = 1½”.
On the line E-F Mark point I such that E-I = 1½”.
On the line G-H mark K such that H-K= 1”.
Join I-O.
Mark P on the I-P such that P-O =1”.
Join F-P by a curved line as shown in the figure.
Join I-J-K by a curved line as shown in the figure.
On the line A-D Mark L such that A-L =⅛ chest
On the line A-B mark N such that A-N = 3” or to taste. Shape
front neck by curve L-N.
On the line A-B mark point M such that A-M = 2”.Shape back neck by curve L-M.
Cut along the line G-K-J-I-P-F-B.
Cut back neck shape by cutting along the curve L-M.
Separate front and back of the draft by cutting along the
line M-N-C-B.
Keep one portion which has got no markings aside. This is
back draft. On the other portion the draft cut front neck shape L-N. This is
the draft of the front.
