TOILE

I created my toile out of calico to see how it would turn out. I had to create all of the pattern pieces first using different parts of a shirt pattern. The upper half of the front was a little more complicated as I had to create the pin-tucks first and then cut out the shape. I had to ensure there was equal spacing between the pin-tucks so it looked professional. I was then able to measure how much fabric I needed before adding the pin-tucks so I don’t waste anything when it comes to the real material.  The toile helped me work out what sleeve length would be most suitable and also how the big the pockets should be.
