I am back with one more simple pattern of a Baby frock with a yoke.
Fyi (in case you are new to the little blog of mine☺), in my previous few posts, I have explained pattern making of some very common saree blouse patterns like Simple Sleeveless Blouse, Basic Saree Blouse with Sleeve, Double Katori Blouse, One Piece Katori Blouse and also a simple stylized Sun-rays Neckline Saree Blouse, Saree Blouse with Back Smocking, High Neck Saree Blouse, Stand "V" Saree Blouse, Raglan Sleeve Saree Blouse, Blouse with Basque (Patti), Boat Neck Saree Blouse, Scallop Shaped Neckline and OFF Shoulder Raglan sleeve saree blouse with Armhole Princess line.

Steps of drafting:-
Front - (Yoke)
0-1 = 1/5 Round Chest + 1 cm (11 cms)
1-2 = 1.5 cms
* Yoke length is 0-2 = 11 + 1.5 = 12.5 cms
Front Bottom Gathers -
0-1 = 1/5 Round Chest + 1 cm (11 cms)
1-2 = 1.5 cms
* Yoke length is 0-2 = 11 + 1.5 = 12.5 cms
1-3 = 1/4 Round Chest + 4 cms (12.5 + 4 = 16.5 cms)
0-4 = Shoulder + 0.5 cm (10 + 0.5 = 10.5 cms)
4-5 & 2-5 = Join points as shown in image
5-6 = up by 1.5 cms
Join 2-6 with a slight curve line as shown for yoke hem
5-6 = up by 1.5 cms
Join 2-6 with a slight curve line as shown for yoke hem
4-7 = down by 1.5 cms
0-8 = 1/10 Round Chest - 1 cm (5 - 1 = 4 cms)
0-9 = 1/10 Round Chest (5 cms)
Join 9-8 for front neck curve
0-9 = 1/10 Round Chest (5 cms)
Join 9-8 for front neck curve
Join 7-8 for shoulder and
Join 6-7 for front arm curve as shown in image.
To draw front arm curve, mark mid-point of 6-7 and draw a line of 1 cm as shown.
Then draw the front arm curve passing over the 1 cm as shown.

The fabric used:- For making the baby frock, you can use thin printed Poplin, 2 x 2, Khadi, Cambric, Organdy, Taffeta, Satin, Voile, etc. However, if you are a beginner, prefer using Cotton Voile fabric. You can also use different fabrics (i.e. plain, printed, embroidered, etc.) to get variations.1-7 = Draw straight line

8-11 = 1/2 of 3-8
3-12 = 1/4 of 3-8
11-13 = 1.5 cms (draw perpendicular to 3-8 as shown)
12-14 = 1.5 cms (draw perpendicular to 3-8 as shown)
8-15 = mark 1.5 cms
Join 3-12-13-8 for front sleeve arm curve marked in RED ink in above pattern
Join 3-14-15-8 for back sleeve arm curve marked in BLUE ink in above pattern
Sleeve hem piping:-
0-1 = sleeve hem strip width + 1 cm (2 + 1 = 3 cms)
1-2 & 0-3 = 1/2 Round Arm + 2 cms (8 + 2 = 10 cms)
Join 2-3
Some Tips:- when preparing the fabric for draft placement & cutting:--
1) If using the basic woven cotton material, then straighten the fabric by slightly stretching it diagonally to align the warp & weft at a right angle.
2) Iron the fabric always to make it crease free prior to marking/placing the draft over it.
3) If you are a beginner, prefer making the draft on paper and then pin it to the fabric.
