This is a canteen bag construction, where the gusset goes all around the body piece.
In this type of design, you always start by drawing the body shape first — for example, a circle or a square.
Then, you create the gusset pattern so that its perimeter exactly matches the body outline, allowing it to wrap around smoothly.
Creating a foundation pattern — often called a Sloper, block, or blueprint — is an essential step in the design process.
This base pattern acts as your original template, which can be adapted and refined to fit your design goals.
Mastering the foundation supports the entire pattern-making process and ensures accuracy in the final product’s sizing and details.
