Myobjective 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.
There are 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.
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
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.
Candida auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast which has emerged in healthcare facilities worldwide, however little is known about identification methods, patient colonization, spread, environmental survival, and drug resistance. Colonization on both biotic and abiotic surfaces, along with travel, appear to be the major factors for the spread of this pathogen across the globe. In this investigation, we present laboratory findings from an ongoing C. auris outbreak in NY from August 2016 through 2018. A total of 540 clinical isolates, 11,035 patient surveillance specimens, and 3,672 environmental surveillance samples were analyzed. Laboratory methods included matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for yeast isolate identification, real-time PCR for rapid surveillance sample screening, culture on selective/non-selective media for recovery of C. auris and other yeasts from surveillance samples, antifungal susceptibility testing to determine the C. auris resistance profile, and Sanger sequencing of ribosomal genes for C. auris genotyping. Results included: a) identification and confirmation of C. auris in 413 clinical isolates and 931 patient surveillance isolates, as well as identification of 277 clinical cases and 350 colonized cases from 151 healthcare facilities including 59 hospitals, 92 nursing homes, 1 long-term acute care hospital (LTACH), and 2 hospices, b) successful utilization of an in-house developed C. auris real-time PCR assay for the rapid screening of patient and environmental surveillance samples, c) demonstration of relatively heavier colonization of C. auris in nares compared to the axilla/groin, and d) predominance of the South Asia Clade I with intrinsic resistance to fluconazole and elevated minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to voriconazole (81%), amphotericin B (61%), 5-FC (3%) and echinocandins (1%). These findings reflect greater regional prevalence and incidence of C. auris and the deployment of better detection tools in an unprecedented outbreak.
BACKGROUND: This pilot project implemented admission screening for Candida auris (C. auris) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) in select high-risk units within health care facilities in New York City. METHODS: An admission screening encounter consisted of collecting 2 swabs, to be tested by rt-PCR, and a data collection form for individuals admitted to ventilator units at 2 nursing homes (NHA and NHB), and the ventilator/pulmonary unit, intensive care unit, and cardiac care unit at a hospital (Hospital C) located in New York City from November 2017 to November 2019. RESULTS: C. auris colonization was identified in 6.9% (n = 188/2,726) of admissions to participating units. Rates were higher among admissions to NHA and NHB (20.7% and 22.0%, respectively) than Hospital C (3.6%). Within Hospital C, the ventilator/pulmonary unit had a higher rate (5.7%) than the intensive care unit (3.8%) or cardiac care unit (2.5%). DISCUSSION: Consistent with prior research, we found that individuals admitted to ventilator units were at higher risk of C. auris colonization. CONCLUSIONS: This project demonstrates the utility of admission screening using rt-PCR testing to rapidly identify C. auris colonization among admissions to health care facilities so that appropriate transmission-based precautions and control measures can be implemented rapidly to help decrease transmission.
On July 18, 2022, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) notified CDC of detection of poliovirus type 2 in stool specimens from an unvaccinated immunocompetent young adult from Rockland County, New York, who was experiencing acute flaccid weakness. The patient initially experienced fever, neck stiffness, gastrointestinal symptoms, and limb weakness. The patient was hospitalized with possible acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). Vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2) was detected in stool specimens obtained on days 11 and 12 after initial symptom onset. To date, related Sabin-like type 2 polioviruses have been detected in wastewater* in the patient's county of residence and in neighboring Orange County up to 25 days before (from samples originally collected for SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring) and 41 days after the patient's symptom onset. The last U.S. case of polio caused by wild poliovirus occurred in 1979, and the World Health Organization Region of the Americas was declared polio-free in 1994. This report describes the second identification of community transmission of poliovirus in the United States since 1979; the previous instance, in 2005, was a type 1 VDPV (1). The occurrence of this case, combined with the identification of poliovirus in wastewater in neighboring Orange County, underscores the importance of maintaining high vaccination coverage to prevent paralytic polio in persons of all ages.
