| Know before using | The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric. | Community members add and quality-control the records, so confirm sizing, measurements, fabric suggestions, format, availability, errata, license, and purchase terms with the designer or publisher. Adding an entry to a stash does not provide the pattern files. Saved searches and private PDF storage are paid Plus features, and a listing or review does not establish pattern accuracy or fit. | This is a 2013 Indonesian-language vocational school textbook, not a current national competency standard, universal block or sizing system, professional qualification, ready-to-sew pattern, or proof of individual fit. Some equipment, terminology, pedagogy, body classification, formulas, measurement practices, and construction assumptions may be dated or unsuitable for another person, material, product, or production setting. Confirm current equipment instructions, target-body evidence, ease, material behavior, representative samples, accessibility, and fit evaluation before applying its methods. |

| What the source establishes | The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows and follows the Council's warning that company letter and number labels vary; blank aliases remain blank instead of being inferred. | Threadloop's official guide describes an independent, fully crowdsourced database covering available and out-of-print sewing patterns. Its search supports pattern type, fabric type, age group, body type, cup size, level, format, file features, language, measurements, availability, and other filters; members can also track a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and discussions. | Indonesia's Ministry of Education repository publishes Dasar Pola II as a 294-page vocational school book and learning module prepared by the government for the initial Curriculum 2013 implementation. The record names the Directorate for Vocational Secondary School Development and provides a direct PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license. The textbook covers clothing foundations, materials and tools, body measurement, human dimensions, basic patterns, paper prototypes, cutting, and pattern refinement. It distinguishes commercial, drafted, draped, graded, test, production, and block patterns, and includes bodice and sleeve systems plus dart relocation, length and size changes, design-line development, and pattern testing. |
