SEW EASY · DRESSMAKING & PATTERN DRAFTING Measure, mark and shape with one versatile ruler The Sew Easy Pattern Making Curve Ruler brings straight measuring, curved drafting and marking guides together in one clear tool.

Metric and imperial markings make it useful for patterns written in either system, with a straight measuring scale of 30cm / 12 inches. Useful guides for everyday pattern work French curve: shape armholes, necklines and hip curves, or blend adjustments into existing pattern lines. Straight ruler and square: measure lines and mark right angles when drafting. Buttonhole guides: help mark buttonhole outlines on your pattern or project. Seam allowance slots: guides for 1.5cm and 2.5cm allowances, commonly described as 5/8 inch and 1 inch. Curved edges: useful for drawing scallops and rounding corners. See your work as you mark The clear ruler lets you keep underlying pattern lines visible while positioning it. It is a practical addition to a home dressmaking kit, a fashion student's drafting tools or a knitting workbasket for drawing garment shapes. For smoother alterations Mark your adjustment points first, then choose the section of curve that follows them best. Trace in short sections and reposition the ruler to blend the line smoothly. Check the measurement scale before marking, especially when switching between metric and imperial patterns. Supplied: one clear Sew Easy curve ruler. The 30cm / 12-inch measurement refers to the straight scale, not the overall outline of the tool. Browse our pattern rulers and drafting tools for more workroom essentials.
