Pattern Making

Course Summary

This course is for students who have prior knowledge of sewing and using patterns. Sessions are suitable for individuals seeking to refine their skills for commercial purposes or for students who want to start their own business or improve their fashion industry job prospects.  

Students will learn to draft blocks for a skirt, trouser and bodice (can then be made into a dress) using their own body measurements. Various professional techniques will be used to identify the appropriate modifications in adapting blocks into various styles.
