FASHIONDESIGN & SEWINGTECHNIQUES COURSE

From Idea to Finished Garment – Design, Draft & Make It Yourself

Would you love to learn how to design and create your own clothing – made to measure, with your personal style and vision?
In this creative course of 8 lessons of 3 hours each, I’ll guide you step by step: from your first idea to a professionally finished piece you’ll be proud to wear.

This course is perfect for anyone ready to dive into fashion – whether you're a complete beginner or already have some experience.
At INVALID Atelier, you’ll work in an inspiring, professional environment on your own unique design.

​

What will you do?

Create your own design
You decide what to make – a coat, trousers, dress, or top. You’ll develop your idea into a clear and technically workable design.

Take measurements & draft your pattern
You’ll learn how to take professional measurements and draft a custom pattern to fit your body. You’ll receive a mini pattern booklet with a helpful step-by-step guide to take home.

Make a toile (test garment)
You’ll test your design in cotton fabric (included). This allows you to check the fit and make any adjustments to your pattern.

Couture sewing techniques
Learn how to insert zippers, create waistbands, add linings, and finish your garment neatly – depending on your specific design.

Bring your garment to life
You’ll realize your design in the fabric you’ve chosen. From first stitch to final detail – you’ll make it entirely yourself.

​

What’s included?

All basic materials: measuring tape, chalk, seam ripper, basting thread.

Cotton fabric for your toile.

Mini pattern booklet with step-by-step instructions

You only need to bring the fabric for your final piece, matching thread, and any extras like zippers or lining – depending on your design.
