Creating A Pattern : Mock Collar Sleeveless Top

I found this mock collar sleeveless top at the thrift store and I love the simple shape of the top . It was made out of wool as well and I knew I wanted more. So I measured up the garment to make a simple pattern from the existing garment.

Specialitly tools I used to create pattern :

• Pattern paper / dot paper : // alternative : Can use Kraft paper or newsprint
• Rulers , Hip curve , French Curve
• Rotary Cutter ( I have one just for cutting paper )
• Markers, pencil

Measuring it up :

I measured the major points: Across, length , neck band measurement.

Taking Notes of finished garments

+ added seam allowance measurements :

Here is my chicken scratch writing :

I created a pattern using the measurements I took down as well as traced off the rough outline of the finished garment for a little assistance :

After I finished I used my curve rulers to finalize the lines :

I folded my paper in half and cut the pattern out since it is gonna be symetical

I did sew up the top and this is what I got !
