Pattern drafting and Simple
In order to make simple garments, you need to take body measurements. Wrong measurements will result in ill-fitting garments. Therefore, measurements must be as accurate as possible. The body measurements are used to develop patterns on paper. The patterns are then used to cut the fabric pieces for garment. Patterns are therefore important for making simple garments.
