The TCC pattern and library catalog has been divided into categories for easier viewing.
The categories show the general type of pattern that you might expect in the line,
and whether or not you should expect to have it draft to a body figure. Accent and
home decor patterns do not map to the body, although they include the same scalability
as all other TCC patterns.
Pattern libraries are usable across pattern lines, so a sleeve (or collar, etc.)
included in the library of one pattern line can be used in garments found in another.
Summer Tops - Easy sewing for the season
Outside Entertaining - Party and family time
Gift-giving - These come with love!
Accent patterns in general do not use the body measurements to draft. Instead this group of patterns start with a default preset and can be easily alter from that starting size and shape.
These pattern lines include those that are designed for your environment, rather than drafted to your body. Whether it is placemats for entertaining or pillows, those patterns will be here.
While TCC patterns for women are fully scalable to any size, those pattern lines that contain patterns specifically designed for the body shapes of children and infants will be grouped in this area.
Reenactment groups, theatrical companies and costumers will find a growing group of patterns in here. These patterns lines have been organized by historical era or subject matter.
Historical and Theatrical Pattern Lines
Basic Garment Pattern Lines
Collects of a specific garment type, such as blouses or pants, appear in this area. These are designed so that the sewer that focuses on one body area or type of garment to more easily find their patterns.
These groups provide the easiest way of building the TCC library patterns that you need for sleeves, collars, inclusions, etc. While there are some library patterns in most lines, this organizes them in easy-to-find lines.
Basic garment lines are designed to form a strong basis for a general wardrobe. All basic lines include both main garment patterns, as well as library patterns, such as sleeves and collars.
Patterns for men, designed for the body structure and movement of that structure have been organized into this group of pattern lines.
Garment Group Pattern Lines
Dress and Pressing Form Pattern Lines
The TCC patterns that provide dress forms and customized pressing forms are grouped into the lines listed in this area.
Pattern lines in this category are mixed by season and pull from a variety of garments groups. These lines give some of the flavors of the newest offerings or target seasonal specific activities.
