LAY PLANNING
PATTERN MAKING
• Pattern making is an art
• art of manipulating and shaping a flat piece of fabric to conform to one or more
curves of the human figure.
• bridge function between design and production.
Methods of Pattern Making
Pattern making involves three methods-
• Drafting
• Draping
• Flat paper pattern making
ADVANTAGES OF COMPUTERISED PATTERN
MAKING OVER CONVENTIONAL METHOD
• patterns are made on a computer with computer aided design (CAD)
systems
• pattern maker manipulating small graphic patterns on computer
screen with hand-held control device.
• Geometry drives make an infinite number of changes to shapes and
sizes
• pattern including creating new design lines or adding pleats, fullness,
and seam allowances.
• To allow pattern makers to make patterns manually on a computer
• system has been developed allowing the pattern maker to work life size on
a sensitized table with traditional tools and stylis that is attached to the
table and the computer.
• stylis picks up the lines drawn on the table and shows them on the screen.
• Changes can also be made directly on the screen.
• In both cases, patterns are immediately available for other operations such
as grading and marker making.
• The essential features of this technology are pattern design and pattern
generation systems.
PATTERN GRADING
• It is the process of producing patterns of different sizes from the
existing pattern only by changing the proportions .
• Usually patterns are first constructed in the middle or large size and
then graded to small or extra large size accordingly to the order.
• Patterns are graded according to size charts which present the sizes
and the average measurements of the population group for which the
garments are intended.
COMPUTERIZED GRADING
• At first grade rules are stored in the computer memory and then the
computer can automatically develop pattern sets for all sizes using the
direction given in the grade chart.
• The pattern maker guides a cursor around the edges of the sample
pattern on a digitized table. At each of the key points, pushing a
button to record a grade point.
• Each point is cross referenced by a grade-rule table stored in the
computer, which enlarges or reduces the pattern automatically
according to the predetermined direction.
• If the pattern was originally made by computer, data are already in
the computer and can be enlarged or reduced automatically.
COMPUTERIZED MARKER PLANNING
• In this method, every component of patterns is kept in the memory of
the computer and Grade rule is also mentioned.
• Then the computer makes the marker by its pre-fashioned
programming technique.
• The information of patterns can be stored by
• Digitizing System
• Scanning System
• Computerized marker making method is of two (2) types. They are –

• Automatic Marker Making
• Interactive Method
