Download Basic Block Patterns

Hello, @ValerieB

I uploaded a basic easy fitting bodice from Winifred Aldrich’s book on this topic: E-Book : Version Française? - #8 by Grace that you’re welcome to download & fiddle with as a starting point.

Keep trying the my pattern cloud. I know that @MrDoo has been busy with it from time to time lately, because I couldn’t get into it a while back, but now I can.

I don’t know that anyone would just give you their pattern that they are selling. The idea is for you to develope your own basic blocks and then use the pattern making methods to create your own unique designs. I have huge fun doing this. I find a picture of something that I like and draw my own design from it, open my basic pattern & go to work, moving darts, inserting pleats, adjusting lengths, whatever is needed.

Try it out on that Aldrich pattern. :grinning:
