How to make patterns from your own clothes

Last week my daughter Amie had a little accident spilled her juice all over her shirt

With the wrong side Fold in half and Lay back of the dress down on the paper

Draw a dots outline All around

Shoulder part

Fold sleeves up make dots follow the original Armholes seam

Do the same thing for sleeves part

You will have something look like this ↑

Now connect all the dots

Add seam allowance and hem

now you have back and sleeves patterns

lets make front pattern

I don’t want to waste my tracing paper for the front bodice part Because it’s kind of same patterns with the back

I use leftover tracing paper just big enough around armholes part

Copy the back pattern and cut out

tape it to the back pattern. Make sure it match up

Fold in half and Lay front of the dress down on the paper

Mark dots follow the seam around neckline

Connect the dots and Cut

Now the patterns is done

When you use it just fold it under 😊

I bought this fabric last year from JoAnn its very fun print Zebras everywhere!

I made one size bigger for Amie Hopefully she can wear it till next year!
