The perfect supplement to the book, Patternmaking Made Easy! Four different hip-length pattern blocks are included in this package. Use these slopers as starting points for designing your own dartless designs, and save time developing your own dartless blocks. (Dartless designs contain no bust-shaping dart and are the most difficult blocks to develop.) Each pattern is already designed with perfect balance and proportion; you only need to make a quick test sample to customize the shoulder seam to an individual figure.

Patterns include Front, Back, and Sleeve:
Dartless Woven Blouse Block (fitted sleeve, armhole)
Dartless Woven or Knit Shirt Block (shirt sleeve, dropped armhole)
Fitted Knit Block
Semi-Fitted Knit Block

Used for fitting sleeves on a professional or custom dress form. Pattern includes sizes Small, Medium, and Large. Pattern only, materials not included.
