As I explained in former videos I have found out two ways of making molds:
1. By using a 'stiff material' such as 'stationery cardboard', 'tailoring molding paper', 'transparent plastic', 'non stretchy vinyl, etc.
These materials should be used on 'FLAT SURFACES' ...just lay one of this materials over the part you want to duplicate...mark all around 'seam allowance' and small 'sewing reference lines/Vnotches', and my pieces would be ready to sewing...easy to perform!
2. Things would turn out different and not so easy! if we would need to mold 'ROUNDED or IRREGULAR AREAS'. In this case 'stiff materials' would not work efficiently.
That is when I recommended the use of a 'stretchy vinyl' to make the molds. Because of its 'fabric backing' on the reverse stretches breadthwise.
As shown in the video I am using the SECOND WAY to pattern the bottom seat side bolsters. The first 'trick' is when reaching the 'rounded area' I have stretched 'A LITTLE' the vinyl material until getting an even surface again, and so on. 'Tayloring pins' were used to immediately fasten the vinyl in place. The other 'trick' is while the molded vinyl material is thoroughly pinned I should do the 'sewing reference lines(in red)' one in front of the other. These 'marks' would be of great help at sewing procedure.
We should not forget to consider the 'stretchy side' of the material to be used (vinyl, leather, etc.) before putting the molds/templates over in the right stretchy direction.
I want to notice these molds are still 'in rough draft'. 'Paper tape' was used to correct some misalignments o mistakes. I will transfer them to stationery cardboard to get the good ones.
I hope you find some of these trick useful!
