Assignment Deliverables

1. Drafted Jumpsuit Pattern Block
2. Jumpsuit Pattern Pieces with Seam Allowances

Assignment Overview

In this assignment, you will draft pattern blocks for both a shirt and a pair of pants from your own clothing. After creating accurate pattern blocks, you will combine these blocks to create a custom jumpsuit pattern. The final deliverable will be a completed jumpsuit pattern with seam allowances that can be sewn. This assignment integrates skills in copying existing garment patterns, drafting custom pattern blocks, and adding seam allowances.

Assignment Instructions

Create the Jumpsuit Pattern Block

1. Combine the shirt and pants into a single jumpsuit pattern. You will need to adjust the waist seam to ensure a smooth transition from the top (shirt) to the bottom (pants). Add ease where necessary for comfort and movement. Pay special attention to the fit of the waist and length in the torso.

2. Pattern Block Adjustments

   • Ensure the front and back blocks align properly at the waist.
   • Adjust the neckline, armholes, and inseam length to fit your jumpsuit design.
   • Add any desired design elements, such as pockets, zippers, or closures.

Add Seam Allowances

Once your jumpsuit pattern is complete, add seam allowances:

• Add 1/2" seam allowances to all seams, except for the neckline, which should have a 1/4" seam allowance.
• Add a 1" allowance for the hem on the pants.
• Add additional seam allowances for any extra details such as pockets or zippers.
