Abstract
A garment pattern sizing template system comprises a sheet of transparent plastic. A plurality of radial construction lines extend from a region on the sheet at angles. A plurality of grids each have a central line with holes equally spaced along the central line and spaced lateral marking lines extending from the holes with sequential marking numbers from a lower number to a larger number with the central hole located on a radial construction line. The radial construction lines are sequentially marked with construction indicia.
Claims5
A garment pattern sizing system for increasing and/or decreasing the size of garment patterns for women's ¾ panel jackets including, in combination:
- a sheet of transparent plastic having limited flexibility in a circular configuration with a diameter of about 11 inches and having a center point with an aperture and a periphery;
- a plurality of radial construction lines extending from about the center point to about the periphery;
- a plurality of grids each having a center line with nine holes equally spaced along the center line for marking a pattern piece there beneath and nine spaced lateral marking lines extending in alternating points from the holes with sequential marking numbers from a smaller number of size 6 to a larger number of size 14 and with a central hole being located on a radial construction line;
- a plurality of parenthetical primary positioning numbers on the sheet located adjacent to the grids;
- and
- a plurality of paper patterns each with a plurality of circled secondary positioning numbers correlated to the primary positioning numbers on the sheet for assisting a user in the proper positioning of the sheet on a pattern during operation and use;

- a ninth line marked “(18) front bottom of lapel” with an angled grid having the smaller number closer to the periphery and “(17) lapel @ collar notch” with an angled grid having the smaller number adjacent to the periphery;
- a tenth line marked “(19) front bottom” with a radial grid having the smaller number closer to the periphery;
- an eleventh line marked “(22) cuff t/sl” and “(22)a cuff u/sl” with a radial grid with a larger number closer to the periphery and “(21) sleeve head crown” with an angled grid having the larger number closer to the periphery and “(20) hind arm top & (20)a under sleeve” with an angled grid having the larger number closer to the periphery;
- a twelfth line marked “(23) collar step end left” with an angled grid having the smaller number closer to the periphery and “(24) collar step end right” with an angled grid having the larger number closer to the periphery;
- a thirteenth line marked “(25) collar lapel break notch left” with a radial grid having the smaller number closer to the periphery and “(25)a lapel break notch right” with a radial grid having the larger number adjacent to the periphery;
