Flat Pattern Clothing Design
In this class you will learn the basics of pattern drafting . We will go over technique along with different styles that can be created with pattern drafting. We will start with creating the basic sloper which is the basic blocks of the body. The bodice, skirt and sleeve. From there we will address fit issues and create a perfect sloper fit for you or the dress form. By the end of this class you will have the confidence to start pattern drafting on your own.
This class will cover the following
First we will trace the sloper set and fit it to the body, If you already have a sloper set then we can jump right into pattern drafting. After the sloper set is complete we will pattern draft 1-2 new styles each week and sew them up in muslin and fit them to you or the dress form. We will cover tops, skirts and sleeves. By the end of class you will have patterns and muslins of styles that you have designed from pattern drafting! 🥳
