This beginner pattern making class is intended for both home stitchers and fashion design students. You have design ideas, but don’t know where to start in making them a reality.
In this class, you will learn the basics of drafting a pattern, which is used in sewing to cut pieces for a garment!
All students will use the same size for the basic bodice and skirt blocks so that the focus is learning fundamental techniques, such as dart manipulation, slash-spread, pivotal-transfer, pleats, gathers, style lines, contouring, and adding fullness to aid in the design process.
We will sew muslins for some of the pattern manipulations. If you desire to create a customized block to your measurements, you may use lab time to work on that.
There will be sewing machines to use in class when needed.
Prerequisite: Must have some sewing experience. Garment-making experience is preferred, but not required.

Home Sewing classes are intended for ages 13 and up. Fashion Design classes are intended for ages 16 and up. If student is below minimum age requirement, private lessons can be scheduled.
