Hello everyone
I have been reading the posts. Now I have a question about pattern drafting software. I am an experienced independent seamstress . I create dance competition costumes for a few studios every year plus doing alternations on formal and wedding gowns, occasionally creating a new gown for someone. I am a paper to pencil girl. This is the system I have used for years. I find a basic pattern and change it to my specs. Then I cut the material and fit the pattern to my mannequin making all necessary changes before making the rest of group. My question to someone is what program can I use to make my life easier. I have several sizes in each dance group to make so I would need to grade the pattern. I would also need to print them so I could use them. It would be great to make all the corrections before cutting that sometimes creates wast.I always have all measurements from each dance group before starting.
