An understanding of pattern cutting is essential for any fashion designer. This workshop is intended for people with little or no previous experience in pattern cutting, but with an interest in fashion and ambitions to realize their own design ideas.
The workshop consists of a series of practical exercises demonstrating the basic principles of pattern cutting for women. The course will cover the cutting of a basic bodice and skirt block and explore ways of manipulating these blocks in the interpretation of simple design ideas. In order to achieve these objectives, translation of drafts to sample pattern, handling of textiles and use of a basic sewing machine will be integrated into the course.
A follow-on course will be offered later concentrating on production processes for sample making; students from the pattern cutting course will have priority in registering for this course.Schedule
