Making a new copy of a vintage 80's item for a customer, while constructing its pattern without any other tools than a pen and a tape measure. (I have just started to even make my customer's patterns all freehand - not using pins, rulers or construction manuals. And for trueing lines, I use a simple folding technique instead. Much quicker and with more fluid lines. Less is more!)
I purchased Design-it-Yourself-Clothes and quickly whipped up a few skirts. Then a month later I became pregnant with my second child and was disappointed that I would be back into my maternity clothes. Not long after I realized my error and started drafting again. I love this book!!! Thank you Cal Patch!!

I really, really don't want any fit problems with this pair of jeans (which are self-drafted), so I took the extra tedious step of stay-stitching all around every piece that had any curve to it. I recently made my first pair of pants and they ended up too big even though the pattern was drafted specifically to fit my figure — all because the fabric stretched as I sewed. Do your jeans patterns suggest taking this step? My teacher gives us no instructions on sewing the garments we draft for our patternmaking class, so I'm always figuring it out as I go.

here I;ve traced off all the original lines and made sure everythign lines up. This was a multi-sized pattern, so i made sure to follow the line in the size I wanted.
Much better than cutting it off in case I need to make adjustments or want to use another size later.
I've also labelled the new pattern piece with any pattenr markings (to line it up with adjacent pieces, and the grainline) and so I know which original pattern this piece belongs to. If I wanted to further customize it, I'd put the date and who I made it for.
