From start to finish

From start to finish

On this page we will create a simple pattern together. We will use the individual functions step by step and thus work through the complete process in Seamly2D.

We will create a pattern for a basic panty

SeamlyME

First we will open SeamlyME and enter the measurements we need. In this tutorial we will use cm as unit and an individual measurement file.

◆

For this pattern we need several measurements:

Waist circumference ⇒ 72 cm
Hip circumference ⇒ 97 cm
Waist to hip (side) ⇒ 21 cm
Crotch length (front) ⇒ 26.5 cm

◆

Insert your own measurements. For this tutorial we will us the measurements as mentioned above. Delete the formula in the croth length (N03) and insert your measurement.

After that you can save the mesurement file.

Seamly2D

Now you can open Seamly2D and create a new draft block by clicking on the New button. Give the draft block a good name.

◆

The next step will be to open the SeamlyME measurement file you just created. Now you can use those measurements

◆ You can modify the name of your starting point to your liking. We will recommend to stick with the default values for the beginning. You can define the coordinates to even number if you wish.

◆

We can now start drawing our first nodes. Select the Point - Length and Angle - Tool and click on point A to begin drawing.

Once you hit enter, a window will open where you can modify some properties.

Make sure that the angle is set to 270°
Select the formula tool for the length. We will chose our measurement croth_length_f. If you misspell something or entered a wrong formula, the word error will show up. Amend the formula accordingly

Advice: You can read instructions for each tool in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Important note: Angles are measured anti-clockwise from 0 degrees (= horizontal to the right) to 360 degrees (= horizontal to the right)

◆

Zoom to fit all, so you can see the new node. You can also use the scrollwheel of your mouse

◆

We will continue creating 3 new nodes with the Point - Length and Angle - Tool

Point: A to A2, Length: waist_to_hip_side, Angle 270°
Point: A1 to A3, Length: hip_circ/10 -1, Angle 270°
Point: A to A4, Length: hip_circ/4 -2, Angle 0°

◆ WIll finish our pattern grid with a new tool: Point - Intersect XY. Click on point A4 and then on point A2. Repeat the same tool from point A4 to point A3. You now creted points A5 & A6.
