I drafted the pattern for this outfit using Don McCunn's patternmaking technique. I wanted something playful with the top and to match the solid skirt set. My inspirations was to make something convertible and easy to wear. V neck in front an scoop in back for this pull over fitted princess seam top. I went with the printed top to make the top portion of body appear larger. I had this on for our Thanksgiving feast - it was so comfortable and I received many compliments.
In making the princess seam top, I used a technique in David Coffin's Making Trouser for changing design without destorying your master pattern (I saved time designing).

I made this skirt with the help of Cal Patch's book "Design It Yourself - Patternmaking Simplified" Loved following her wonderful directions and I need to make another skirt asap.
Little dress I drafted and made today for Miss A. The fabric is grey stretch, and is quite thick. I plan on replacing the flower with a big red bow.

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
Late at night and the second attempt on draping a Less Seams blouse (also called Blouse No. 4 - planning on 10 sets, probably will take forever). This one will end up having a total of 2 seams + 2 pleat tucks and some hemming of 4 edges. Still made out of one single continuous piece of fabric with only two cuts into it on a whole blouse (for now), and done without the use of a flatiron of course.
Pink - pant
Grey/black - dress
Purple - vest
color on pattern is indicative of pattern piece not garment color.
Here is my first muslin for the basic skirt drafted with instructions from Design-it-Yourself Clothes. Blogged here.
Having achieved her Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and a few quarters away from achieving her Bachelor of Science in Pattern Design (Pattern Making), Christina Manolescu embarks on a career that is “...beyond what I ever thought I would achieve.”
Last quarter she began working freelance as a pattern maker for several different design companies. Her first experience was with couturier Roberto De Villacis on a few garments that were made-to-measure for his fit model. “She was so stunned by the fit that she wanted to take the muslin cut home!” At the same time, Christina embarked on her first custom wedding gown, embroidery and all.
Creating the paper pattern of Black Swan.
I'm currently working in collaboration with artist/illustrator Rachel Arthur. She has illustrated 7 fabulous Australian coastal birds that I'm transforming into a range of art toys to become part of the Flying Star Toy world.
We both have a love of folk art and a desire to evolve an iconography of our local environment. This coastal bird series of art toys (7 int total) are all birds found in the local environment around Brisbane Australia.
Black Swan, Silver Gull and Australian Pelican will shortly be exhibitioned in Sydney.
