I will show you how to draft a male-bodied doublet pattern from around 1618. The example in the series is un-padded. Using the 16th century Spanish pattern making system called “The Bara System“ you will see how proportions can be used to create an accurate pattern. All the layers are then cut out and prepared for work to begin! Every stitch of this garment is made by hand, you will not need to use a sewing machine.
