How to Draft a Funnel Collar and Placket
Today, we are taking a deep dive into placket drafting with illustrations from all angles. We'll also be drafting the Funnel Collar and completing the pattern for our Funnel Neck Pullover project.
Welcome to Sewing With Numbers, a newsletter about sewing, math, design and how to draft your own sewing patterns. Through simple pattern drafting exercises, I'll show you how fun, useful and empowering math can be. ✂️ Every 6 to 8 weeks, I feature a different drafting project, with each lesson building upon the learnings from previous ones.
Hello my mathy sewing friends! It’s been a busy week here with client design projects and I’ve been anxious to get this tutorial written and published. Plackets are not that hard to draft but I don’t do it often and it requires concentration and lots of sketches.
Today, we are drafting the final pattern pieces and finishing our Funnel Neck Pullover pattern. We are going to adjust the Front Yoke pattern piece to work with our chosen placket size, then draft the Snap Placket and the Funnel Collar.
