Making the Bodice Sloper<br />
Paper Pattern to Sloper<br />
1 Cut oaktag twice the size of the<br />
pattern. Fold it in half and press<br />
a sharp, flat folded edge. Draw<br />
a cross grain line using an Lsquare.<br />
Fold the center seam<br />
allowance of the paper pattern<br />
under and align with the fold<br />
and the cross grain.<br />
2 Transfer all pattern lines to the<br />
oaktag using a needle point<br />
tracing wheel.<br />
Muslin to Paper Pattern<br />
1 Mark any additional corrections on the muslin pattern, remove<br />
the pins and press flat.<br />
2 Draw length and cross grain lines on the pattern paper. Place the<br />
muslin on the paper, matching grain lines. Use pattern weights<br />
or push pins to hold the muslin in place.<br />
3 Transfer pattern lines onto the paper using a tracing wheel with<br />
a serrated edge. Working on a soft surface such as cork is ideal.<br />
Guide the wheel with a ruler for smooth transfer of lines.<br />
4 Allow 1 for the side seam, shoulder, and center seam<br />
allowances. The neckline, armhole, and waist have 1 ⁄2 <br />
allowance. Extend all seam lines into the seam allowances.
