Kudos to
MellySews for the curved waistband cheat-sheet. It worked!
- While trying on the garment measured the distance from the top of the unfinished garment to where the top of the waistband would sit - this is the width of the waistband.
- Measured the garment circumference at the waistline
- Added overlap for the opening
- Divided waistline by 8
- Drew 8 rectangles 1/8 garment circumference wide x width of waistband tall AND
- Added a 1cm allowance on one side of the rectangles (for overlap for taping)
- Measured my waistline
- Subtracted my waist measurement from the garment measurement
- Divided the Variance by 8
- Overlapped the top edge of each rectangle by 1/8 the Variance
- Taped the overlapping rectangles to paper
- Used a Seam Gauge to draw in the seam allowance to draft the final pattern piece
