Dale, I think there is still a place for hand tailored clothing, just as there is a place for quality hand crafted high end furniture. My wife continued to make much of her clothing for a long time after she could afford buying nice clothes. She could modify a pattern to fit her perfectly. She also did custom dresses for some wealthy friends' daughters (senior prom stuff).

Subject: Re: [DIY] Wood Cut Sheet
Now that I recall those visions from the distant past, there are a lot of similarities. Women can't afford the yard goods anymore, and those who can don't need to make their own, so I guess that is just another in the long list of individual skills that are going by the wayside. Now it is machine embroidery and quilt making.

All this talk about laying out your pattern so as not to waste any material - making sure you get everything aligned with the grain - cutting precisely on the cutting line so you get a good fit......sounds suspecially like man code for making a new dress, LOL. Sawing sounds better than Sewing right?

I’m looking for a better way to layout a cut sheet for a woodworking project. I have my materials list, but need to figure out what sizes wood I need to minimize waste. Drawing the layout by hand can get tedious and prone to arithmetic mistakes.
