Boy's Suit

Nancy Crimi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a sewing pattern layout. The sheet contains outlined shapes labeled with letters and numbers, representing different pieces of a garment pattern. The pattern pieces include sections for sleeves, fronts, backs, collars, and other components typically found in garment construction. The labels and symbols on each piece aid in assembly and indicate part identification. The outlines are precise and display clear labels like "CENTER FRONT" and "CENTER BACK," which guide the alignment and cutting of fabric. This drawing serves as a blueprint or a guide for crafting a specific clothing item, ensuring accuracy in the garments' size and fit.
