Course Details

Skirt patterns are the ideal garment to start learning the principles of drafting with.  Thread Den's pattern drafting program is designed to teach you the knowledge and skills to enable participants to be creating and producing garments designed by you! Learning to pattern draft will open up a world of unique style and creativity that you will have for a lifetime.

 

Our program is made up of 3 individual courses: 

  • The Skirt - next in April 2021
  • The Bodice - May 2021
  • The Torso - mid 2021

(Bodice designs stop like a shirt, Torso drafting includes full garments like dresses and jumpsuits).

Delivered and designed by My Best Friend Jen, our workshops are designed for modern students who want to develop a creative passion. Our pattern drafting program is ideal for individuals who have been sewing from commercial sewing patterns, understand the pattern markings and have a grasp on sewing terminology.  

The workshop schedule is made up of pattern drafting lessons, not sewing sessions. To make the most of your course, you should allow for additional time to make toiles of your drafted patterns.

 

Over six workshops students will cover:

  • How to fit a skirt block to your measurements
  • Learn to draft styles including A-Line, Pencil, Circle Skirts
  • Design gathers and wraps
  • Learn about darts and princess seams
  • Draft design details like; splits, pleats, gores
  • Enhance designs with different pockets, zips, other closures, waistbands, facings and more

We utilise a number of techniques; working on calico, pattern paper, cardboard, full size and in third size scale. During this course, you will build up a reference tool for a lifetime of pattern drafting.

 

What you will learn

  • Draft and fit a skirt block to your own measurements
  • How to include designer details & extensive technique training
  • How to draft A Line, Circle Skirt, Pencil skirts and more

 

What you will get

  • A fitted skirt block
  • You will build a reference tool full of notes, patterns, samples and references

 

What to bring

  • Optional course kit (discussed in week 1)
  • For toiles, students will need calico (available from Thread Den)
  • Blank Page A4/A3 Journal & "How Patterns Work" by Assembil Books is a great value reference book
