Description

When it comes to sewing apparel it can be challenging to get finished garments to fit correctly. When using commercial sewing patterns, you are following a pattern that was created for the “Standard Body Size”. The problem? There is no standard body size. The variation from one body to another is as wide as the variations in fingerprints. But this problem can be solved.

Join us for a series of pattern drafting classes where you will learn how to create customized patterns using the basic starter pattern shape and adding adjustments based on your own correct body measurements. The classes will include a thorough understanding of not only pattern construction, but also the simple method of making correct adjustments to any commercial pattern.

We have ordered the classes beginning with simpler patterns (skirt, pants) and will progress into more complex patterns (bodice, shirt, dress, etc). The classes will build on skills and you will develop formulas that can be applied over and over as you become more skilled.

We’ll provide hand outs to outline the step-by-step process of each class and skills involved with each pattern in the series of the workshops.

Pattern Drafting Series

Skirt Drafting including A-line, Pencil, Circular, Panel & Yoke skirt variations.
Pants Drafting including shorts, culottes, slim ankle & bell bottom pants fit variations.
Basic Top – Understanding the basic front & back bodice fit & introduction to darts
Intermediate Top Drafting- More in-depth fit work, as well as sleeves & collars.
Basic Sheath Dress Drafting – Variations including princess seams as well as neckline variations including round, V & cowl.
Intermediate dress pattern drafting including empire waist, wrap front, gathering and basic drape.

Please note: There is little sewing in this course. The is an instructional class where we’ll be drafting customized paper patterns during each class time. Each student will be encouraged to use Open Lab time (which is free when you sign up) to stitch muslins of each of the patterns you create in class.
