referring now to the drawings , wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views , and more particularly to fig1 thereof , a sewing auxiliary tool 10 is illustrated , which provides for the preparing of garment patterns or measurement of garment patterns using only this tool . the embodiment of this invention is displayed in fig1 and 2 . fig1 is a top plan view showing the obverse side 12 of the sewing auxiliary tool 10 . fig1 illustrates the long arm section 20 and the short arm section 40 of the sewing auxiliary tool 10 . fig1 also clearly illustrates the multiple sewing curves and the straight curve incorporated in the tool , the basic sewing curves are denoted by distinct segments on the obverse side 12 of the sewing auxiliary tool and defined as : a hip line or curve 52 , a sleeve cap line or curve 54 , an armhole line or curve 56 , a crotch line or curve 60 , a neck line or cure 58 , and a straight line section 28 . the obverse side 12 of the sewing auxiliary tool 10 can be imprinted , placed , etc near the edge of each straight line section with , for example , metric length units of measurement , such as centimeters as is shown for measuring scales 34 , 36 , 38 , and 50 . furthermore , as can be seen in fig1 the measuring scale 38 provided running along edge 22 increases from the short arm section 40 to the free edge 24 , the measuring scale 34 running along edge 26 increases from free edge 24 in a direction parallel to edge 22 and the same is true for the measuring scales 66 and 62 on the reverse side 14 , as shown in fig2 . this arrangement of the scales enable 34 , 36 , 38 , enables the length of the scale 38 extending along the first straight edge 22 to be effectively increased by the length of the scale 34 extending along the second straight edge 28 since , for a piece of material that is longer than the first straight edge 22 , it is possible to either the fold the material back over the free edge 24 and read off the length of the folded back section on the scale 34 , or to mark the fabric at the free edge 24 and slide the tool downward , reading off the length that the tool has been slid at the scale 34 . in either case , the length read off of the scale 34 can then be added to that of the scale 38 to obtain a measure of the total length . fig2 is a top plan view of the reverse side 14 of the sewing auxiliary tool 10 . other than being the reverse side 14 of the sewing auxiliary 10 displayed in fig1 the reverse side 14 can be imprinted , placed , etc near each straight edge with , for example , english units of length measurement 62 , 64 , 66 , and 68 , instead of metric units of length measurement . the units of length measurement utilized is based on design considerations depending upon the use of the tool . fig3 is a top plan view of one example of implementation of the tool of the invention in which the sewing auxiliary tool 10 is used to create a garment pattern . fig4 is a top plan view of a garment pattern , namely one half of a blouse pattern , created through the use of the auxiliary sewing tool 10 . the sewing auxiliary tool 10 has the long arm section 20 and the short arm section 40 . the sewing auxiliary tool can be made from a plate like material , preferably wood , metal , plastic , or etc . as shown in fig1 which illustrates the obverse side 12 of the sewing auxiliary tool 10 , the long arm section 20 has a straight edge 22 , a free edge 24 and a top edge 26 . the top edge 26 has a straight line section 28 , a convex section 30 , and a concave section 32 . the straight line section 28 intersects the convex section 30 , and the convex section 30 intersects the concave section 32 at an approximately zero degree angle of intersection . the straight line section 28 of the top edge 26 intersects the free edge 24 at an approximately right angle . the free edge 24 also intersects the straight edge 22 at an approximately right angle . the short arm section 40 has a straight edge 42 , a free end 41 , and a side edge 44 . the straight edge 42 of the short arm section 40 intersects the straight edge 22 of the long arm section 20 at an approximately right angle . the free edge 41 intersects the straight edge 42 of the short arm section 40 at an approximately right angle . the side edge 44 has a convex section 46 , and a concave section 48 . the convex section 46 of the side edge 44 intersects the free edge 41 . the convex section 46 intersects the concave section 48 at an approximately zero degree angle of intersection . additionally , the concave section 48 of the short arm section 40 intersects the concave section 32 of the long arm section 20 at an approximately zero degree of intersection . the smooth curve that combines the five basic sewing curves is constructed by plotting out coordinate locations and drawing a smooth , continuous line through those locations . fig1 illustrates an x - y rectangular coordinate system . the origin of the coordinate system is at the intersection of the short and long arm sections 20 , 40 of the sewing auxiliary tool 10 . the coordinate locations that comprise the smooth continuous curve are called design points and are denoted as design points 80 - 96 . expressed in an x , y coordinate location in units of centimeters the position of the design points based on design considerations can be as follows : ______________________________________design point 80 46 . 00 cm , 7 . 00 cm ; design point 81 44 . 00 cm , 7 . 50 cm ; design point 82 41 . 00 cm , 8 . 50 cm ; design point 83 38 . 00 cm , 9 . 00 cm ; design point 84 33 . 00 cm , 9 . 50 cm ; design point 85 28 . 00 cm , 9 . 00 cm ; design point 86 24 . 00 cm , 8 . 50 cm ; design point 87 19 . 00 cm , 7 . 50 cm ; design point 88 14 . 50 cm , 7 . 00 cm ; design point 89 10 . 50 cm , 8 . 50 cm ; design point 90 8 . 50 cm , 10 . 50 cm ; design point 91 7 . 00 cm , 14 . 00 cm ; design point 92 6 . 50 cm , 20 . 50 cm ; design point 93 7 . 00 cm , 26 . 00 cm ; design point 94 6 . 50 cm , 29 . 50 cm ; design point 95 4 . 00 cm , 33 . 00 cm ; anddesign point 96 1 . 00 cm , 35 . 00 cm .
