Why Learn Pattern making?
Because your body shape is unique
Creating garments to your own body measurements requires specialised drafting skills. A pattern is simply a template from which the pieces of a garment are traced or laid on to fabric before being cut out and assembled.
If you think about the infinite number of body shapes and combinations, it’s hardly a surprise that such a small number of people match standard pattern sizes.
You’ll start by creating a pattern block (sometimes called a sloper) which is a basic pattern that you can adapt to create many different styles of clothing - all with your exact measurements for a custom fit.
Express your creativity
Our pattern making courses are designed to give you all the experience and skills necessary to create your very own garment designs, without being restricted to pre-made commercial patterns.
Develop the confidence to alter patterns
Once you understand the fundamentals of pattern fit and ease, where to place darts, what types of seams to use.
It’s fun! Pattern drafting skills will open up a whole new range of sewing possibilities.
