Starting how to create a block pattern for the shirt is simple and easy. First, use a triangle to create a line vertical and horizontal. The starting point is A to B is the vertical line and A to C is the center front. F3 down B6 and F6 B7 are placket overlap for the button closure.

Make and measure A down to C to get your HPS Length ( the highest point of measurement). Then A forward to B is the half of shoulder measurements. A to D is 2 3/8″ distance. Inline, DE adds 1 1/2″ to lines B5 and E same as from DE to F5 and F4. This becomes the shoulder seam with a drop seam of 1 1/2″. The back yoke line is B1 -B2 yoke height B2 curve B4 connect to EB-B5-D end to B1. A and B1 are the back neck drop, and B1-D, and B5 are the back neck circumference. From A to B2 is the front neck drop, and F3 to F4 is the front neck circumference.

Life has often been compared to a game. We were never told the rules, unfortunately, nor given any instructions about how to play. Simply begin at “Go” and make our way around the board, hoping we play it right. We don’t exactly know the objective of playing, nor what it means to win.

When creating a men’s shirt block pattern, accurate body measurements are essential to ensure a proper fit. The process begins by taking key measurements such as neck circumference, chest width, waist size, sleeve length, and shoulder width. These measurements serve as the foundation for drafting the pattern and determining the shape and proportions of each piece. Attention to detail is crucial to achieve a precise and tailored fit for the finished garment.

Pattern-making

Utilizing specialized tools such as rulers, tape measures, and pattern-making supplies is key in accurately translating body measurements onto paper or digital drafting software. Professional pattern makers understand the importance of thorough measurement taking and its direct impact on the overall quality of the final product, ensuring that the garment fits comfortably and flatters the wearer’s body shape.

Additionally, pattern makers must also possess a keen eye for symmetry and proportion to ensure that the garment hangs correctly and drapes well on the body. They must carefully analyze the relationship between different pattern pieces and make adjustments to achieve a harmonious design. By paying attention to even the smallest details, pattern makers can create garments that not only fit well but also showcase the skill and craftsmanship behind the creation.
