Whatever method you use to get your block pattern set finished and ready to use, that method is valid and I am happy you tried it! The rough draft doesn't matter, the work is in the fitting anyhow, so what you start with hardly matters. Grab your materials, I'll be back shortly with another video draping a bodice block on the silly clumsy mannequin I take with me wherever I go; my own body. See you soon!
