BRIEF SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to a method for cutting out a front part of clothing and more particularly, to a method to make an accurate pattern simply, easily and speedily when fabricating clothing of a desired design based upon a basic original pattern of a human body form, whereby any clothing fit for any human body form can be fabricated without fitting. Further, the method saves sewing time and cost.
2. Background Art
Conventional methods for cutting out clothing material include a flat cutting method, a stereoscopic projection method and a method utilizing these two methods together. Any one of the foregoing three methods requires complicated and skillful techniques based on fitting and revision. Further, it is very difficult to make a pattern completely suitable for each human body.
The stereoscopic projection method cuts out material stereoscopically by using an artificial human model more superior than the flat cutting method. However, since there are differences between the artificial human model and each person's real body form, the inconvenience of the stereoscopic projection method is that it requires very skillful and difficult cutting correction or revision. In addition, another inconvenience is that it must make the pattern while putting cloth or paper on the artificial human body, so that short-time and efficient cutting is unattainable. From this point of view, the present invention has a general object to provide a method for cutting out a front part of clothing which can make a pattern universally fit to each person's body form without any cumbersome work such as fitting and fabricating the clothing.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
This invention provides a method for cutting out a front part of clothing by means of the following steps. A human body is first drawn as a flat stereoscopic projection having neither convex nor concave surfaces. After this, the necessary number of cutting lines toward the periphery from a center position (a bust point) of a breast of a basic original pattern are made and the cutting lines corresponding to the protruded form of the breast are cut out and open. Thus, a desired pattern is obtained, in compliance with which a material for sewing clothing is cut.
According to another aspect of this invention, the thus formed cutting lines are provided with at least one triangular notch. Thus, when cutting out the material based upon such pattern and joining the cut materials (or segments) by sewing, it is possible to fabricate clothing having darts at the desired cutting portions indicated by the cutting lines.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a basic original pattern of a front part of clothing according to this invention.
FIGS. 2A, 3A and 4A are plan views of three patterns for obtaining respectively three garments as illustrated in FIGS. 2B, 3B and 4B, respectively.
FIGS. 2B, 3B and 4B respectively are perspective views of garments which have been sewn by cutting out the respective patterns shown in FIGS. 2A, 3A and 4A, respectively.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Preferred examples of this invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First of all, a method for making a basic original pattern 1 of a front part of a garment will now be described. Numeral 2 is a lateral standard line having two end points A, B. Numerals 3 and 4 are body length lines starting from the points A and B. Numeral 5 is a waist line having two end points C and D corresponding to the points A and B.
A curved line G-H is a front neck line 6. A sloped line G-O is a front shoulder line 7. Further, a further curved line O-E is a front sleeve line 8. An oblique line E-M extending to the waist line 5 is a side line 9. A proper breast line 11 is formed between the uppermost line 2 and a center line 10 in parallel therewith.
Thus, an external profile of the basic original pattern 1 is formed.
A breast line 12 starting from an intersecting point G between the front neck line 6 and the front shoulder line 7
