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

![](http://static.miraheze.org/seamlywiki/thumb/f/fa/Seamly2D_Tutorial_04.png/500px-Seamly2D_Tutorial_04.png)
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 theNew
button. Give the draft block a good name.![](http://static.miraheze.org/seamlywiki/thumb/f/fc/Seamly2D_Tutorial_06.png/500px-Seamly2D_Tutorial_06.png)

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 worderror
will show up. Amend the formula accordingly

Zoom to fit all, so you can see the new node. You can also use the scrollwheel of your mouse![](http://static.miraheze.org/seamlywiki/thumb/f/f4/Seamly2D_Tutorial_14.png/350px-Seamly2D_Tutorial_14.png)
We will continue creating 3 new nodes with the Point - Length and Angle
- Tool
- Point: A ⇒ A2, Length:
waist_to_hip_side
, Angle 270° - Point: A1 ⇒ A3, Length:
hip_circ/10 -1
, Angle 270° - Point: A ⇒ A4, Length:
hip_circ/4 -2
, Angle 0°

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.![](http://static.miraheze.org/seamlywiki/thumb/1/11/Seamly2D_Tutorial_16.png/500px-Seamly2D_Tutorial_16.png)

![](http://static.miraheze.org/seamlywiki/thumb/0/02/Seamly2D_Tutorial_18.png/500px-Seamly2D_Tutorial_18.png)
Go ahead a create two new nodes with the Point - Length and Angle
- Tool
- Point: A ⇒ A7, Length:
waist_circ/4
, Angle 0° - Point: A ⇒ A8, Length:
#vertical_mark
, Angle 270°

We will create new nodes with a new tool. The Point - On Line
- Tool. Select the tool and click first on point A7 and then point A5. Choose the variable side_waist_drop_mark
as length. Repeat by clicking point A9 and A5. The length for the new point is side_length_mark
- Point: A7, A5 ⇒ A9, Length:
#side_waist_drop_mark
- Point: A9, A5 ⇒ A10, Length:
#side_length_mark

We will add some ne variables.
offset_front_to_back
: 1.5 cmgusset_width
: 3.5 cmgusset_width_offest
: 0.3 cmgusset_fold_height
: 2.1 cmgusset_height
: 8 cmgusset_radius
: 1 cmslope_offset
: 1 cmcurve_height
: 7 cm
◆
Use the new tool Point - On Perpendicular
. Click first on point A9 and then point A10. Choose the variable offset_front_to_back
as length. Repeat by clicking point A9 and A10. The length for the new point is offset_front_to_back
. This time change the rotation angle to 180°. For the next point click first on point A10 and then point A9. Choose the variable offset_front_to_back
as length and 180° for the rotation angle.
- Point: A9, A10 ⇒ A11, Length:
#offset_front_to_back
, Rotation: 0° - Point: A9, A10 ⇒ A12, Length:
#offset_front_to_back
, Rotation: 180° - Point: A10, A9 ⇒ A13, Length:
#offset_front_to_back
, Rotation: 180°
