Pattern-Drafting Bootcamp
This advanced class is designed for sewing students ready to take their skills to the next level. We begin this course by drafting a foundational sloper set. We start with either a pencil skirt or a simple pair of trousers before moving onto a fitted bodice or t-shirt sloper. These are designed to perfectly fit your own measurements or that of the sample size of your choice. We then discuss fit alterations that can be applied to your new patterns as well as your existing commercial patterns. Along the way we will be sewing samples to test the fit as well as continue discussions about advanced sewing techniques. The final element of this class is design manipulation. You will learn all the techniques required to turn the basic sloper set into any design of your choosing, learning how to modify the silhouette and add detailing throughout the patterns.
