Re: [h-cost] Scaled drawings of original garments
Hi Natalie, The overhead projector is one option. The other is to use paper with a grid on it. Drafting supplies may have it, sometimes sewing supplies, or in desperate states you can draw your own grid on the large paper. The patterns in the books may or may not have grids on them. In the book, you can draw the grid in pencil or photocopy the page and draw the grid on the copy. Beware the units of measure, the book may have centimeters but if you have inch paper, you'll need to adjust. Here comes the tedious part: label the pattern page and your grid paper with the alphabet in one direction and numbers in the other. Now you have the squares as A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 etc. Whatever is in A-1 of the pattern gets drawn into A-1 of your paper, and on and on. If the pattern has a straight edge, you can plot the points and draw the line with a yard stick. It is also possible to use the enlargement settings on a copier. This can get even more tedious, and copier settings are not necessarily true to size. These days, you can also scan the pattern out of the book and enlarge it in your computer. The grid method is what we did before people tended to have computers and scanners at home. :-) The computer enlargement is then printed onto several pieces of paper and taped together. As long as you are not distributing the scans in any way, you can make as many copies or printouts as you want. The next task is to adjust the pattern to the size of the person who will wear the garment. You might do some of this in your scaling, if the original garment was made for a smaller person. I'm sure the class will have techniques and tips beyond this, but that's the gist of it. -Carol On Aug 10, 2011, at 1:13 PM, Natalie wrote: Are you planning to broadcast via webcam so I can attend? :D I've not attempted to do this yet, and the only way I could imagine how to do it was put it on an overhead projector.

RLloyd, (sorry, not sure of your actual name), Could the issue with McCann be perhaps she has a longer waistline than usual? I know that I am _short_waisted; I'm usually allowing less bodice length for any pattern I'm using. I'm glad to get your comment about McCann, as I'm about to (early next year) make her Shinrone Gown.

Re: [h-cost] Scaled drawings of original garments
Thank you Fran for telling this bit!? When I first began trying to reproduce costume of historical periods over 40 years ago, none of this theory was available. I studied the extant pics and mated them with contemporary patterns that tended the similar pattern shapes to achieve the style and lines of the Historical.? What a process for learning!?Your improved method of of deciphering the complicated multi shape early patterns has improved the craft expectations exceedingly!? But?I have also experienced the difficulties of trying to fit the historical pattern to the modern body.

Re: [h-cost] Scaled drawings of original garments
Oh yes--the drawings of patterns intended to be enlarged with apportioning scales, such as the ones I put into The Edwardian Modiste, the Voice of Fashion, Bustle Fashions 1885-1887, and Directoire Revival Fashions 1888-1889. Those were typically not drawn to any kind of true scale, presumably because the publishers wanted readers to use the apportioning scales/rulers that were sold separately for enlarging the patterns to the wearer's size.

Re: [h-cost] Scaled drawings of original garments
Tailor's drafting manuals, that is the ones that consist mostly of men's clothing patterns, fairly often have diagrams at true scale. The women's magazines and sewing manuals have them far less often. Diagrams telling readers what the pattern pieces look like and how to assemble them are usually just that. They are not at true scale because they are designed to be used with a full-size tissue pattern supplied either in that magazine, or by the publisher of a magazine that sold full-size patterns separately (the major pattern companies used magazines to keep their readers informed about new styles, trimming ideas, construction techniques, etc.). And as I said, the early Godey's and Peterson's patterns are pretty rough and probably, not designed for mathematical enlargement. And of course, if you have a human-size tissue pattern, it may not fit the wearer for whom a reproduction is being made, but changing the size is not a graphing issue.

[h-cost] Scaled drawings of original garments
I'm teaching a workshop on how to scale up patterns of original garments that have been drawn out such as the ones you see from Janet Arnold. I'm trying to compile a lit of sources for these patterns. Other than the usual suspects of Janet Arnold and Jean Hunnisette does anyone have any sources for these types of patterns?
