Help! Constructing Pagoda model shoulder pads
Hi Everyone,
Currently following the Pagoda Model course and have found myself a bit stuck with the Pagoda shoulders
I've noticed that as supposed to the pattern in the video, which should be matched edge to edge, i find that in my pattern, one is curved and and one is straight. How do i proced with matching them edge to edge?
I attempted to match them on the TRUE edge but they were not aligning. I then jump to the step when you pivot the patterns from a 5mm SA point on both pattern pieces. Do i just continue to draw a smooth curve? What am i missing?
A heads up. I cut out the digital patterns as they were, but did not arrange them in the shoulderpad formation like Reza did, before cutting. And therefore did not make those adjustments to the curves of the darts.
I appreciate your help.
Best,

Hello! What you're missing is that the pattern you downloaded contains both a surface shape and a forward seam design. That is why the front curve is straight and the back curve hollow. The finished result should be a shoulder pad with a negative surface curve and a froward curved seam. If you watch the entire Lesson 27 on shoulder theory, it will all make sense.
