If you can envision a garment design, you can create it in this personalized pattern drafting course. This directed study allows you to select your own projects and work through the design process with individualized guidance from instructor Anastasia. Bring your sketches, design inspiration images, or detailed descriptions of garments you want to make, and you will receive expert guidance in translating these concepts into reality.

Over six weeks, you will work exclusively on custom projects that reflect your creative interests and skill development goals. The process involves creating patterns, constructing muslin prototypes, and conducting fittings to perfect design details and ensure optimal garment fit. Beyond pattern work, you will develop sewing skills and understand professional techniques that result in garments with a finished, tailored appearance.
