How To: Read & Understand a Dressmaking Sewing Pattern?

By letter2self on February 11, 2023



Do you understand dressmaking patterns? How to read a dressmaking pattern and what all the little marks mean. In this tutorial I cover a step by step of what a sewing pattern covers, from the front of the envelope, the back cover, the paper pattern inside and the instruction booklet.

Learn how to read your measurements and find the finished garment measurements. How to work how much much fabric you need, whether you need a nap layout, what nap is and more….

If there is anything I have missed or you don’t understand please ask in the comments below and I will cover it.
