Sew Kidz

My Winifred Aldrich Computer Illustrator Generated Blocks

Okay, I finally did it!  Here are the results of my computer generated blocks.  I have to admit it was rather easy to do it this way. I'm going to draft a pattern and sew it in muslin and see how it turns out.  I think I am on to something.  I am a lot quicker in CS3 Illustrator than I am with a french curve.  

Is anyone using Winifred Aldrich Metric Pattern Book

Give me your opinion.  I am using this book but I have read that the slopers in this book run rather small in size.  Has anyone had any success with this book.  Are there any books out there that have a very detailed method of creating slopers for kids.  Help!  Point me in the right direction.  I will update everyone  on my pattern drafting.  

Boy am I kicking myself for not paying attention in pattern making class.  In my days at the Fashion Institute of Technology, I was silly enough to believe that all I had to do was make pretty drawings.  I must admit that I have gotten away with it for my twelve years in the children's wear industry, but now I want to  make clothing for my toddler daughter, and I don't have a pattern making team on staff.   I guess I have to sign up for classes at FIT, AGAIN!!
