Pattern Drafting
In pattern drafting, you create patterns from scratch just using measurements taken from the body (or dress form). You'll create a pant sloper pattern from scratch and then go over fitting and creating details for the pants. Pockets, waistbands, flys etc. The remainder of the class will cover creating a jacket block with a lapel and lining.
You will be able to add your own design flair to the styles that we create.
Each week we will cover selected topics and then you will pattern draft them and sew them up out of muslin. By the end of this class you will have a pant sloper and pant finishes, a jacket black with finishing details that you have pattern drafted and sewn out of muslin.

Our classes are limited in size (and frequently sell out!). Each person has a station with a sewing machine reserved for them, so no refunds are offered on classes. If you miss a class, video tutorials will be provided that you can work through in your own time. If you know you'll be missing a class in advance, contact us and we'll see if there's a seat available in a nearby session you could attend.
