Patterns made easy...Modelling on a stand

Use of Calico on the mannequin, is one of the ways to make a pattern and design. 

First step is to mark centre fold on the warp of the calico and pin it onto the stand. Afterwards desired pattern piece is drawn on, leaving seam allowance to attach the next piece.
