WHAT IS A PATTERN BLOCK?

A pattern block, also called a sloper, is a professional base pattern used to develop original garment designs. Unlike a finished sewing pattern, it does not represent one specific garment.

You can adapt the neckline, length, fit, darts, style lines and sleeve shape to create your own sewing patterns.

COMPATIBILITY

The sleeve blocks are designed to coordinate with Basic Pattern Block women’s bodice patterns.

When combining sleeves with blocks or sewing patterns from another company, adjustments to the sleeve cap or armhole may be required because drafting methods and measurements can vary between brands.

SIZE RANGE

Women’s sizes XXS–6XL are included.

Please check the size chart included with the product and select the size that corresponds most closely to your body measurements.
