It is always advisable that you make your own patterns and draft them all by yourself. If you are fond of drafting patterns for your clothes on your own and believe in the independence and perfection that it gives you, then one thing that you must be careful about is to make sure that you settle only for the best! It is great to think about wearing clothes that are designed exclusively by you and thus look great on you.

However, unless you have the right kind of guidance and the exact pattern drafting tools that you need for such work, your clothes will not fit you well and your designs may well not suit your body type.
