Easy Pattern Making for Tailors

The document provides instructions for using the Lutterloh pattern making system to create custom fitted patterns using only two body measurements - bust and hip. The 9 step process involves taping a small pattern template to paper, using a measuring tape with a sizing scale to mark dots corresponding to the bust and hip measurements, connecting the dots to transfer the pattern, and then cutting out and checking the custom fitted paper pattern.

Making patterns easily with Lutterloh

The Golden Rule – Lutterloh pattern making system is amazing simple!


How to make a perfect fitting pattern in minutes !

You only need two measurements to make a perfect made to measure pattern in just minutes.
The Lutterloh System “The Golden Rule” have a little patterns to work with, and a special tape-
measure with a sizing scale. To start you choose the pattern you want to make to your exactly size.
Take your measurements: You only need bust and hip measurement.

1. Take your bust measurement.


Bust contourn for all pieces corresponding to upper part of the body including the waist like front
and back of a blouse, sleeves, collars, etc..Lift the tape over the shoulder blades, under the arms and
over the fullest part of the bust.

2. Take your hip measurement.


Hip contourn to make all pieces corresponding to the lower part of the body like pants, skirts, or the
lower part of a dress. Measure over fullest part of the hip and just below the fullest part of the
stomach.
3. Tape the little pattern on the paper.
Centering the pattern in the paper, fasten the chosen pattern by applying scotch tape at two corners.

4. Inserting the pin into the scale.


We find the measurement (bust or hip) in the sizing scale. Every size (the numbers in black and red)
has a line with a small hole. Push the special pin through the hole that denotes your bust or hip
measurement.

5. Fix the measure onto the pattern


Carefully fix the pin, with the measurement in the scale, on the center of the cross. Every pattern
has a cross. In some small pieces like collars, the cross is outside the pattern, an arrow in the cross
toward the pattern to wich its belongs. Use a small cardboard underneat to fix the pin, to avoid
damage to your table.
6. Making dots
Now we can rotate freely the tape in any direction. Align the edge of the tape to any line, making
sure than the tape is in the same direction of the line, and make a dot in the cm number in the tape
which match the number in the line.
Make the dots on the same side of the tape, where the line and number is shown on the pattern
diagram.

7. All dots
Use the bust measurement to make all dots above the waist, including the waist.
Change the pin to the hip measurement and draw all dots below the waist.

8. Connecting the dots


Once we have transferred all dots, all we need to do is connect them, coping all the lines from the
little pattern with our rulers, also the darts and symbols.
Important: Remove the pattern diagram and mark the pin hole. This is where the pattern is adjusted
for the individual body length.

9. Cutting the pattern and check it


The pattern corresponds to your fit, your can adjust the length to suit your individual taste. Pin the
darts, according to the shape and size of your figure. Always check pattern for correct fit, before
cutting the fabric.

The finished paper pattern does not include seam and hem allowance.

Allow approx. 1-2 cm for seams and 5-7 for hems.


The same pattern is used to make facings, linings and undercollars.
