This section of the tutorial will cover using shapes and lines to draw an entire garment. Let's give your rectangle a neckline. Select the circle tool from the sidebar between the cube and the star. Now click and drag to draw an ellipse. If you want to move it, click on the arrow at the top of your sidebar ("Select and transform objects") or press F1. Then click on the ellipse. The cursor turns into a hand, and you can move the ellipse anywhere you want. Let's center it around the top of the rectangle. You can also use the arrows that appear when you select an object to resize it. If you click on the center of a selected object, you can rotate it. But let's try something else with this ellipse. Click on the circle tool again. Notice the square and circular nodes. Move a circular node until you have an arc below the top of the rectangle. While you're here, click on the Fill and Stroke icon in the upper right corner. Click on the rectangle, select "This tool's own style" then click "Take from selection" for new drawings. Change the Fill color for this arc in the Object menu. Your drawing should now look like this: By the way, if you ever scroll away from your drawing and can't get back, just hit 5 and it will reappear. We'll finish this drawing with lines. Find the pen on your sidebar. Now click on the body of your sweater where you want the sleeve to start. I'm clicking at the bottom of the sleeve because my garment has the decreases along the top of the sleeve, so that will be a diagonal line. Drag until your line is the length of your sleeve, then double-click to end the line. Draw two more lines to finish the sleeve. We only need one sleeve on a schematic. Next up: labeling the sizes
