Lutterloh drafting question
tailormaid   Advanced IL USA Member since 8/19/04 Posts: 204	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/23/12 5:54 PM Does anyone know how to draft the contoured waistband on Lutterloh pants? I just recently got the system and am trying to draft a pant pattern - MMIX #36 in my book. I am confused as to how to separate the back pattern from the waistband at the dart area. A lot of the pants patterns are drafted this way, and do not have a separate straight waistband. Thanks!

The line where they meet is the separation point than add seam allowance. I tried a test pattern from the magazine and added 2" to the side seams. Than did a quick try on muslin and they were too small. Need to go back to the drawing board. ------ Janome10001, Babylock ESG3, Brother ULT 2001, White 634D serger, Pfaff 1472, Singer featherweight, Singer 14T957Dc, Bernina FunLock 009DCC coverlock, Brother PQ1500S, Janome CP900.

I measured the bottom of the curved waistband, and it is 1 cm larger than the waistline (these were the two edges that were drafted together and separated). Is that correct? Would the bottom of the waistband be eased onto the waistline of the pant?

If I'm not mistaken, it should fit onto the area where you separated it. The 1cm change in the circumference is due to where the bottom of the contour sits on your hip. Edited to add: You might also want to sign up for a class on the Lutterloh New Zealand website. Andre and especially Sonja are so incredibly helpful! And you don't have to be working on one of their designated patterns, during the class. -- Edited on 6/30/12 7:48 PM -- ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.
