Guide to Sizing & Fit – The Raglan Hoody Block / Sloper – With 2 Hood Styles –

I love a hoody. I live in them! I have developed my basic hoody block into a raglan style hoody with 2 hood options. The block also comes with a free guide, that you can find below as it was too large a file to add to Etsy as it has so many pictures!

I am currently in the process of adding this latest block to Etsy so all versions will be available soon, including the print at home version and the A0 copy shop version and of course the ready printed and posted version too. I may well add an Ai version for my Ai students too.

As I update all my basic blocks I am adding fitting guides, plus free 1/4 and 1/2 scale versions for practice too!

The Best Professional Basic Bodice Block – The Torso Block Range

It has taken me a couple of years to launch my Torso Block (Sloper) Collection! I really didn’t know how to present it as a product. Unlike most of my other blocks ranges, the torso block is a single size placed on 1 individual A0 sheet. There are 9 sizes available in the range, all printed on one sheet. There are lots of added features on the torso block, features I have by default on my own personal block, they are ones that save me precious time on a daily basis when working for clients.

I have created a video that you can watch below that gives you a tour of the torso block and all its features. At present I have 9 size variations available but hope to work on more. In the video I look at the smallest size in the range.

I am also creating each block in a full range of formats –

  • Full Scale A0 Version – ready printed and posted to you worldwide.
  • A0 Copy Shop Version – for you to print at a copy shop – or this can also be printed on your home printer using the Adobe Poster Mode Features – I have a YouTube video to show you how.
  • A4/US letter Compatible Version – To print at home on your home printer and piece together.
  • Ai – CAD Version – unsecure versions that you can open in illustrator and other CAD and drawing software…

If you are thinking of purchasing the block then I encourage you to watch the video to make sure its suitable for your needs.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have, simply leave a note in the comments box below the post and I will get back to you, or convo me on Etsy – All my blocks are available in my Etsy Shop – https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignCutAndWear
