Haslam System of Dresscutting – Foundation Instructions & Drafting Boards

If you’re new to the Haslam System of Dresscutting, this is the place to start. This set combines the Foundation Drafting Instructions with the Haslam Drafting Boards, giving you the essential tools needed to prepare your personal foundation before moving on to the individual Haslam design books.

The Haslam system works differently from an ordinary ready-sized sewing pattern. Your measurements are used to draft a foundation, which is then adapted using the instructions in your chosen Haslam design book to create the individual garment pattern.

Once your foundation is prepared, you can choose from Haslam designs of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, including dresses, blouses, skirts, suits, coats, evening wear and lingerie.

The individual Haslam design books are available separately, so you can build your collection around the periods and styles that interest you.

For anyone wanting to begin using the Haslam System of Dresscutting, this combined set provides the foundation and drafting boards you need to get started.
