Pattern Hacking - a way to sustainable sewing?
Pattern Hacks can include fit changes as well as style changes. However, when there’s a fit change I often think that the techniques and procedures required often veer more towards pattern cutting in pattern cutting’s truest sense. Whereas style changes, although a process of pattern cutting is involved, let’s say, are often quicker, easier and are more decorative and don’t really require a deeper understanding of the principles of pattern cutting.
