Thereare several different types of Draft at Home Systems, I am listing several below and if you are interested in trying them out yourself, I will include links for as many as I can. The first ones listed are the ones I will be trying soon. I will be posting about my adventures in using these systems and I hope you come along for the journey! As I find more drafting systems I will be sure to blog about them.

Sewists will be able to draft patterns to their exact sizes from the miniature pattern template and specially designed rulers. If you need help with drafting your pattern, Mrs. Depew has a really handy blog post about it.




In addition to these three systems I have a few more I want to try out. I have listed those below with other drafting systems that are out there! These are just a few, there are so many more systems. The ones I am interested in are from 1900 to the early 1960s. I am always on the hunt and my goal is to try to make at least one garment from as many of the systems as I can.




That was a blast from the past. I used to own this version, I so recognised those patterns and did make some. In those days my measurements were standard, I think a little more alterations will be needed now. Having kept the tape measure I recently decided to have a go and have just ordered Spring 2017 leaflet. I keep my fingers crossed.


My objective was simply to test it out, using the system to make a toile. My bust and hips are not far off in proportion, but my waist is out of proportion, so I was keen to complete a toile that would test the theory on my body shape.


The system comes with a pattern book of 280 patterns, which are updated quarterly, and you can subscribe to get updates every quarter. The core of the system is the special tape measure and the mini patterns. You can purchase the system with two quite large curves, and with rolls of paper, which is somewhat thicker than normal dressmakers tracing paper, and probably better to use to draw the patterns.


The only measurements you need are your bust and hip. The patterns are then scaled up using a special tape measure using your bust and hip measurement. However, in my Get Started with Lutterloh course I show you how to check vertical measurements and I provide instructions how to take those measurements.


The Lutterloh system is based on a phenomenon called the Golden Rule which states that the body is in perfect proportion to itself. For example your height is the same as the distance between your finger tips of your outstretched arms; your forearm measures the same as your foot.


The human body is in perfect mathematical proportion within itself. Artists like Leonordo Da Vinci have used this knowledge to create beautiful masterpieces. For example the distance of your outstretched arms from fingertip to fingertip equals your body height.


First of all you need to get the Golden Rule. This includes a French curve, the original tool developed for pattern drafting, as well as the tailor and designer curve. You also receive a sizing scale measuring tape which works specifically to draw your own patterns.


When you purchase the Golden Rule you also get a book with patterns. Every season new patterns appear on the Lutterloh website which you can buy separately. Different symbols on the patterns have specific meanings, like A = front, B = back, FF = hood, et cetera.


You then use your own two measurements and this specific sizing scale measurement tape to make your pattern pieces. Remember for pattern pieces above the middle use the bust measurement and pieces below the hip measurement.


Find the bust measurement on the sizing scale and push the pin through the corresponding line on the scale. Align the edge of the sizing scale parallel against the line with the number on the pattern. Extend the measuring tape and draw a dot onto the paper.


Lutterloh-System is a pattern-drafting system intended for home pattern-cutting sewing. It was developed in Germany in the 1935 by Luise Aigenberger - later Lutterloh. Her grand-children run the company with Marcus Lutterloh and his Mother being chiefly responsible for the creation of the designs; Frank and Ralph Lutterloh run the USA and German outlets.


It has been issued in 17 different languages including English, German, French, Dutch/Belgie, Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Czech Republic/Slovakian, Hungarian, Norwegian, Swiss and Russian. The books/binders have been issued under several names, depending on the language - Der Goldene Schnitt, La Coupe D'Or, De Gouden Snit, Zloty Kroj, Az Arani Szabasminta, Det Gylne Snitt, Det Gyllene Snittet, Slaty Strih, Kultainen Kuosi, Altin Method, Il Taglio D'Oro, The Golden Rule, Золотая BbikPonka and El Corte De Oro.


Rather than draft patterns from scratch, the person drafting the pattern refers to a book of designs for garments, and then uses a specific system of radial grading - which is based on the ratio known as The Golden Rule - to create full-size pattern pieces in the desired size. The system uses a tape measure that has a scaled section which allows the templates to be drafted to suit the Chest and Hip Measurement of the garment-wearer.


Since 1935, 333 Seasonal Supplements have been issued quarterly with new designs to add to the collection. There are also themed Special Editions specially for Children, Men and Vintage styles. New issues are released in February, May, August and November.


In the Regular kit, which accommodates sizes from 50cm up to 140cm - there is an introductory section describing how to use the system - and also a guide to some basic sewing techniques for common elements of garment construction.


There are formal and casual designs which includes:- styles with additional ease included for those with a Fuller Figure [denoted by an icon of a solid-black mannequin]; - Slim-Line styles for the teens [denoted by a hollow-white mannequin;- Bridal; - Maternity [pram icon];- Swim/Beachwear;- and Sportswear.


There is a numbering system to the issues - with Supplements containing at least 40 designs being combined into books and binders that have changed appearance occasionally, through the history of the company. The contents of the binders change periodically.


i wanted to share some designs/pages with my fellow sewers that are in my 1952 supplement from the lutterloh system.My first one I was able to find for 2.50 in a thrift store this one I know at 60.00 on ebay I more then likely overpaid but could not resist .


I forgot to add if anyone has used that system but would like to try it .I can scan them and send it to you .Free..I am not in this for making money just want to share the fun with my fellow sewers.It's the bust and waist supposedly that you can use to draft out these patterns .I want to try them soon myself and it would be interesting to have others join me along .Their is a link I will find that you an also print their measuring tape


I found that system in a thrift store for 5 dollars, I would love to have a copy of that scan if I could. I still need to get the tailors curves and stuff to make the clothing, but those patterns look devine. Also, could I have a link to your blog? I would love to have a chance to read your blog. (dangtr...@msn.com) My system came with a book with something like 300 patterns, but most seemed like something from 80 and 90's. Nadine
