Pattern Puzzle - Mioara Cretu Outfit #2
This weeks #PatternPuzzle is a thing of genius from our regular contributor, Mioara Cretu, gifting us the most baffling#PatternPuzzle of all time last Saturday. Mioara teaches pattern making at a Romanian university and has a weakness for jersey one-piece patterns!
And for all our fans, you have done a wonderful job this weekend finding the answers to such a challenging puzzle. Congratulations :) Now it's time to confess that I stared blankly at this puzzle for days when it first arrived. The skirt I was able to work out but it was the twist in the top pattern that had me really confused.
You'll find all the pattern making detail on the website blog.

Pattern Puzzle - Kimono Twist Dress
Every week new fans turn up to comment and solve our #PatternPuzzle and this week was no exception. Steph Go was in early with a comprehensive answer revealing the main parts of the pattern piece. Then Julie and Lynn turned up a little later to finish off the puzzle. You'll find the rest of this fabulous pattern making post on the website in my well-suited blog.
If you'd like to learn my method for creating Twist Drape Patterns I have a detailed worksheet for making Jersey Twist Patterns. For just a few dollars you'll get the same training you'd get if you came to the workshop in my studio.

Pattern Puzzle - Twist Panel Jersey Dress
Once again the much favoured Jersey Twist is featured on the Saturday morning #PatternPuzzle. A big thank you to all our fans that come along to play and watch. :)
This week there is an addition to our #PatternPuzzle post with the inclusion of imperial measurements for our US fans. Huge thanks to Lisa at Poldapop Designs for pointing out how much easier this would make the teaching of our worksheets in the states. Lisa is one of the first teachers to take on our Basic Skirt Draft Worksheet as a teaching tool in her classes. The results have been positive so we will work hard to provide imperial equivalents in all our pattern making instructions. :)

Pattern Puzzle - Jersey Twist Dress
There was a great conversation around the #PatternPuzzle last Saturday on our FB page. The final but essential clue of a CF twist was offered by Renee Bock to complete the puzzle. This style is in many ways very similar to previous puzzles featuring twists. A full list of similar styles, with links, is featured at the end of this post.

Pattern Puzzle - Drape Twist Jersey
Gathers, drape and twists in jersey seem to be the favourites for most of our fans. This weeks challenge is no different, with this drape style that could be made as top or dress. It is hard to imagine that the weird shape below would make the style sketched above. Once again we have produced a one-piece pattern, eliminating the side seams.

Pattern Puzzle - Twist Drape Shift
It's hard to imagine how this strange shape will make-up when you first see the puzzle. It is a slightly complex style that I managed to cut after working through the detail in a couple of stages. Our fans were quick to work this one out on the weekend as they are all familiar with the variety of twist techniques that we use at Studio Faro.
You'll find all the pattern making instructions on the website blog.
Enjoy! :)

Pattern Puzzle - Paper Twist Tunic
We know this is an insanely busy time of year and would like to send a huge thank you to everyone who dropped by on the weekend for our #PatternPuzzle. The shape below is what greeted our fans on Saturday morning on our FB page. Below is my trade sketch as best interpretation of the pattern with the intention of cutting this tunic in a light papery taffeta to hold the sculptural effects of the twist.

Solved with lightening speed by Alison Calderwood, Julie Eilber and RedPointTailor, last Saturdays #PatternPuzzle turns out to be a fab summer shift. The image below has the puzzle shape right way up with some notations to help make sense of the thing.

Pattern Puzzle - Twist and Turnback Top
My design this week featured below has a single twist in the front bodice, a turn-back drape on the front hem and a two piece back to maintain the empire fit that holds the bust twist in place.

Pattern Puzzle - Skirt Twist
With this weeks post of the pattern solution and details I firstly must apologise for the delay in posting. It turns out my original pattern shape was not entirely accurate. As I prepared this post I realised that the pattern shape would not necessarily achieve the fit I had sketched in the design drawing. This is not an uncommon problem when translating design drawings to actual patterns, which is why we often have to sample a couple of times to perfect the fit.

Pattern Puzzle - Hip Twist Top
You don't need to be a genius to see I am still captivated by twist patterns. Perhaps they really suit the whole idea of the #PatternPuzzle. This type of jersey twist is not so unusual in the fashion ranges at the moment. The small and unusual detail of placing the twist off centre is very appealing if not a little clever.
Our #PatternPuzzle fans, new and returning, had this weird pattern shape worked out by lunch time with the final twist in the detail.
