Abstract
A sewing auxiliary tool used for the creation of garment patterns. The sewing auxiliary tool is constructed from a flat plate and has incorporated around its edges curves and straight line shapes. The geometric shapes of the sewing auxiliary tool's edge are used to create basic sewing curves; such as, the hip line, sleeve cap line, armhole line, neck line, and crotch line. Additionally, the sewing auxiliary tool can have both metric and English units of length measurement incorporated along the straight edge sections of the sewing auxiliary tool. The combination of the curves, straight lines, and length measurement capabilities provide the user with a single device with which to create garment patterns.
Claims1
A sewing auxiliary tool comprising:
- a long arm section having a first means for tracing basic sewing curves;
- a short arm section connected to said long arm section, said short arm section having a second means for tracing basic sewing curves;
- and
- each of said long arm and short arm sections having a straight edge for measuring length, the straight edge of the long arm section intersecting the straight edge of the short arm section at a right angle;
- wherein said long arm section has a length of substantially 61 cm (24");
- and wherein said short arm section has a length of substantially 35 cm (136/8");
- and wherein said sewing curves comprise hip, sleeve, arm hole, neck, and crotch curves combined in the form of a smooth, continuous curve running through points which, expressed in an x, y coordinates system having its origin at the intersection of the straight edges of the short and long arm sections and x and y axes defined by the straight edges of the long and short arm sections, respectively, having in sequence at least the following x, y coordinates measured in centimeters:
