a peek inside the japanese patternmaking book, pattern magic.

The Hopscotch Dress has always reminded me of a Tea Collection dress. For Ruby's dress, I wanted to make the sleeves look a bit more "Tea-ish" so I drafted a "saucer" cap sleeve using my copy of "Patternmaking for Fashion Design." I used a rolled hem on the edge of the short sleeve and just used the regular long sleeve pattern. I basted them together before I set them. The gray fabric is interlock from JoAnn's and the aqua fabric is from the softest T-shirt from Target that I paid $3 for. Great color, not so great fit. :)

The blouse is inspired by a traditional Swedish men's shirt. It's made with Swiss cotton lawn and cut on the bias. All the seams are french seams since the fabric is a bit see-through. The pattern is dartless for sizes up to 14, but I added a curved back seam to compensate for my sway back.

 

The draft for the placket is from Sylvia Rosen's book Patternmaking: A Comprehensive Reference for Fashion Design that I borrowed from the library. Not a five star book, but it has some good info.

 

I have reviewed the pattern on Pattern Review

Our Patternmaking workshop will have you build a skirt pattern, as seen here, but will allow you to build on your own pattern block to size it accordingly as well incorporate any design elements you wish to add. Find out how to start a project from scratch and then make the skirt! (3 sessions)

The fountain is made of silicon bronze, and consists of a circular ring with a circumference of 66 metres supported on four large slanted columns. It occupies an area of 1683.07 square metres, with a height of 13.8m. The sand cast silicon bronze, including all formwork and patternmaking was designed,manufactured and installed by DCG Design and Meridian Projects (from Melbourne Australia) in 1995. The base area of the fountain is 1,683 square metres. In the design plan of Suntec City, where the five tower blocks represent the fingers and thumb of a left hand emerging from the ground, the fountain forms the palm of the hand.

The inward flowing water of the fountain was used for two reasons. Water is known as the symbol of life and wealth in Chinese culture, and the inward motion of the water symbolises the retention of wealth for Suntec City. According to feng shui experts (Chinese geomancers), the water flowing inwards represents riches pouring in, thus the name Fountain of Wealth.

It is claimed that visitors to Suntec City, who walk around the central base of the Fountain three times and touching the water at all times, would gain some good luck of their own
