Use Your Skills
• Visualize how pants are put together.• Look at the pants you have:
– How they are different from each other?– What properties will you look for when buying pants?
• How would you modify your existing pants:– Too lose? Too tight? What needs to change?– What side effects will possible changes have?
• Avoid mistakes when making pants– Visualize how the pattern will come together.– Small alterations based on your own measurements.
