Why Learn Pattern Making?

Our pattern making courses cover core drafting, fit, garment construction and professional production techniques.

  • Begin by creating a personalised pattern block (or sloper) — the foundation for an endless range of garment styles, all tailored to your body and adaptable across designs.

  • Your body is unique — so it’s no surprise that standard sizes often miss the mark. Pattern making allows you to draft garments tailored precisely to your measurements, creating a truly custom fit every time.

  • Our pattern making classes give you the skills to turn ideas into real garments. Learn how to draft, adjust and customise patterns to suit your individual style and design vision.

  • Pattern making lets you create high-quality, well-fitting garments while reducing waste and supporting a more thoughtful approach to fashion.

  • Gain a deeper understanding of how flat fabric becomes structured clothing. Learn about fit, ease, dart placement and seam types, while strengthening both your sewing skills and design knowledge.

  • Learn how to recreate and update existing garments by turning them into patterns. Refresh old favourites, improve fit, or use them as the starting point for new designs.
