Flat Pattern Clothing Design
In this class you will learn the basics of pattern design and manipulation. We will start with the basic sloper blocks and grade them - bodice, skirt and sleeve. From there we will address fit issues and create a perfect sloper fit for you or the dress form. Then you’ll learn pattern manipulation techniques to make clothing in the shape and styles you want to. By the end of this class you will have the confidence to start creating patterns on your own.
This class will cover the following
First we will trace the sloper set and fit it to the body, 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! 🥳
After this 6 week series you can go straight to dressmaking. Or to further your understanding and skills in pattern creation, you can take pattern drafting , draping, or stretchy clothing design.
