Self drafting pattern is a skill that allows you to create your own custom patterns for sewing garments. It can be very rewarding and fun, but it also requires some basic tools and knowledge. One of the most important steps in self drafting pattern is measuring yourself correctly. Measuring yourself is important because it will help you to draft patterns that fit your body shape and size. If you measure yourself incorrectly, your patterns will not fit well, and your garments will look unflattering and uncomfortable. Measuring yourself is also important because it will help you to adjust existing patterns to your measurements, or to compare your measurements with standard size charts.
In this video, I will show you how to measure yourself for self drafting pattern, and what measurements you need to take. You will need a measuring tape, a pencil and a paper, a mirror, and a friend or a helper. You will need to take the following measurements for self drafting pattern, :
- The waist: Measure around your natural waistline, where your belly button is.
- The shoulders: Measure across your back from one shoulder tip to the other.
- The bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms.
- The neck: Measure around your neck, where your collar would sit.
- The armhole: Measure around your arm, from the shoulder tip to the armpit.
- The sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder tip to the wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
- The wrist: Measure around your wrist, where your cuff would sit.
- The hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips, below your waist.
You can see in the pictures below how to measure yourself correctly. Make sure the measuring tape is not too tight or too loose.

Once you have your measurements, you can start drafting your pattern. You will need a large piece of paper, big enough to fit your coat. You can use newspaper, wrapping paper, or any other paper you have. You will also need a french curve ruler and an L square ruler. A french curve ruler is a curved ruler that is very useful for pattern making. You can use it to draw smooth curves for necklines, armholes, and sleeve caps. An L square ruler is a ruler that has a right angle at one end. You can use it to square your work, measure 90 degree angles, and draw straight lines. It is ideal for pattern drafting, cutting, and measuring.
In this video, I will show you how to draft your pattern for a basic coat, and how to make four different types of collars for your coat: basic, simple, round, and strength. Each collar has a different shape and style. You can choose the one that suits your preference and personality. You can see in the pictures below how to draft your pattern and how to make the collars.
After you have drafted your pattern, you can cut your fabric according to your pattern pieces. Make sure you add 1 cm seam allowance to all edges.
