The Haslam System of Dresscutting: How to make a template!

Hello and welcome to Killer Kitsch Lizzie! My little world where I sew, knit, and go on vintage reproduction journeys! 

Today we are going to build a template! Do you have your tools ready!!!

As I mentioned in the previous video, you will need a few items. 

*The .pdfs

*Some kind of tracing paper or large sheets of something. I personally use brown packing paper to draw my patterns on.

*Poster board or as we call it in Canada bristol board. I glue my template to it, to give it more structure. You will also use the poster board to make your pattern block. 

*Pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, and markers. 

*Paper scissors

*Glue of some sort. Elmer’s glue works, but I personally preferred using a glue stick. It was easier for me.

*I also found an awl as a handy tool for punching the holes.

Now. Let’s put together the template!!!
