LESSON 91. 



Problem: — To draft the drawers. The design should have been 

 selected in the previous lesson.

 adapted from one for a circular belt or peplum. The latter may be 

 drafted as follows : 



a. b. 



Fig. 2.— Directions for drafting circular belt: The measurements required are the waist measure and the 

 depth of the belt. Draw aline of indefinite length (fig. 2a, XY). On this line mark point A at a distance 

 from X equal to one-third the waist measure. Using X as a center and X A as a radius, draw an indefi- 

 nite arc, AZ. Op. this arc mark point B distant from A by one-half the waist measure. From A on line 

 XY measure the depth of the belt and mark the point C Using X as a center and with XC as a radius 

 draw an indefinite arc, CZ'. Draw a line from X to this arc through B and mark the point of intersec- 

 tion D. ACDB equals one-half the belt. In cutting lay line AC on lengthwise fold of the paper or goods. 



Directions for drafting circular drawers: Fold the pattern for circular belt as shown in figure 26 (AI- 

 CD-BH). The line CD is folded in such a way that B is 1J inches below A. Lay on paper 36 inches wide, 

 folded down the center. The fold CD should be placed upon a fold of the paper. From C measure the 

 length desired for the side of drawers, that is, down over the hip (CE). With B as a center and 

 a radius equal to CE plus 1 inch, cut the edge of the paper at F. On the edge of the cloth measure 

 up from F 3 to 4 inches for the leg seam, and mark this point G. Connect A and G and B and G as 

 shown in the illustration. This pattern represents one leg of the pair of drawers.
