 Oxford shoe pattern making

Pattern  

Pattern is a flat representation of a 3D object into  2D form. Pattern  is made  by thick paper or paper board.

Mean Form: It is the  average of outside and inside part of a last.

Standard Pattern: When the mean form includes  all style  lines according to the shoe  style and lasting allowance, it  is called standard pattern. Example Derby standard, Oxford standard etc.

Sectional pattern; Every individual part of a standard is separated with required allowances and called sectional pattern. Example - Vamp pattern, Quarter pattern etc.

Grading: The technique of producing multi sizes patterns from model  size. Example - from model size 7, 5, 6, 8, 9 sizes  are developed.

Tooling Up: The process  of making the cutting knives by using graded patterns.

To create accurate pattern for a shoe pattern rotation or pivoting is must.

For making prefect fitting Toe area, Back curve and Feather edge should be modified.
