WHAT IS A PATTERN BLOCK?
A pattern block, also called a sloper, torso block or basic block, is a professional base pattern used to develop original garment designs.
Unlike a finished sewing pattern, a block is not limited to one specific garment. You can adjust its neckline, darts, seams, length, fit and design details to create different tops, blouses, shirts, dresses, tunics and fitted bodices.
The blocks can be reused across multiple design projects, making this collection a practical drafting library for fashion designers, pattern makers, dressmakers and experienced sewists.
