In this video, we demonstrate step by step how to create a draped evening dress model with a slit and waist seam based on a basic block.
The workflow covers the reshaping of the boat neckline, extending the model length, creating the waist seam, and giving the skirt a slight mermaid form. Opening an asymmetric slit on the front skirt, transferring the dart to the side seam and distributing it into gathers, creating pleats coming from the shoulder and neckline, and drafting the draped upper piece by free drawing are also shown in detail.
In addition, the preparation of lining patterns, adding lining ease, grainline adjustments, and professionally defining seam allowances transform the model into a production-ready technical pattern set.
This study serves as a comprehensive guide for patternmakers who want to systematically learn dart, pleat, and drape applications together with pre-production pattern preparation processes.
In this video, we demonstrate the full pattern preparation workflow of a bergere chair model for furniture manufacturing, from start to finish.
The workflow covers digitizing patterns with Fotodijit using both automatic and manual methods, editing the scanned pieces, defining internal
points and internal shapes, and transferring the model into the DesignCad environment.
In the DesignCad section, squaring the pattern pieces, grainline adjustments, fabric fold and symmetry operations, piece joining, notch applications,
drill marks, and internal cut definitions are demonstrated in practice.
In addition, the process is brought to a production-ready stage by defining piece quantities and directions, preparing the marker plan, using
automatic nesting options, combining different models within the same marker, applying block placement settings for defective fabric areas, and
preparing the work in a file format suitable for the cutting machine.
This study serves as a comprehensive guide for users who want to systematically learn digital pattern preparation, model editing, marker making,
and cut preparation stages in furniture manufacturing.
