Deepen your skills in fashion design, pattern making & sewing techniques

Would you like to deepen your knowledge of fashion and learn how to translate a design into a pattern and, ultimately, into a professionally finished garment?

In this intensive 16-session course, we combine pattern making, fashion design and sewing techniques. Step by step, you will learn how to work from design and pattern to toile, fit, construction and finishing.

This course is for people who are serious about learning and willing to invest time in their projects outside of class.

What will you learn?

Fashion Design & Pattern Making
You will learn how to translate a design into a technically workable pattern. You will work with basic patterns for skirts, trousers and dresses, and learn how to create variations using sleeves, collars and different styles.

You will learn how to adjust patterns and develop a better understanding of garment construction and fit.

Toiles & Fit
You will make toiles to test your patterns and learn how to assess and improve the fit.

Sewing Techniques & Finishing
You will deepen your knowledge of garment construction and finishing. Depending on your design, you will learn techniques including collars, lapels, sleeves, pockets, zippers, lining and different closures.

Your Own Project
You will choose your own design and develop it into a fully finished garment using your chosen fabric.

Design → Pattern → Toile → Fit → Construction → Finishing

Homework

You will receive assignments to work on patterns and toiles between classes. This allows you to discuss, improve and further develop your work during the lessons.
