I have drafted the pattern.

Were good to go, its working & looking good.
Onto scanning and PDF'ing.
Watch this space for a pattern upload
Another prototype design I wanted to upload to show you guys. Its the first draft of the pattern and after sewing it I need to make a few tweaks if I want to use it.
I had the idea whilst sitting at my desk at work to make a oversized vest dress with pockets, I drafted it there and then at my desk and was happy with fit. I'm not 100% sold on it yet, I think it could look fantastic in a stripe fabric. I think the bottom needs to be a bit more fitted too.
Its a work in progress thats growing on me the more I style with it.
Looks like just 4 bits of paper, doesn't it? But this is hours of obsessive millimetre-checking and curve-altering...
It's just a straight skirt, with some of the darts converted to a yoke (I HATE doing darts).
Since I'm putting so much effort into it, it will be interlined (for crease-resistance and durability) and lined; made up in high-quality dark blue woolcloth.

Specialist pattern cutter and knitwear designer Juliana Sissons and director of sKINship Rhian Solomon shared their knowledge and techniques in this unique masterclass, which was held yesterday in the Institute of Making. This masterclass explored points of commonality and contrast between plastic surgery and pattern cutting for fashion, and drew on those practices to design and create new garments.
sKINship is a research program and professional network bridging the gap between visual arts and science based practitioners: creating a space in which to exchange knowledge and ideas and explore the processes of 'Making' as a universal visual language.
