why learn pattern making?

Creating  garments to individual measurements requires specialised drafting skills. A pattern is a template from which the pieces of a garment are traced or laid on to fabric before being cut out and assembled. Our pattern making courses are designed to give you all the experience and skill necessary to create your very own garment designs, without being restricted to pre-made commercial patterns. You'll learn to:

• Take accurate body measurements to ensure a correct fit and allow for movement

• Create patterns using pattern making techniques to shape, manipulate and enhance garment styles

• Create garments from specific client requests that include assessment of proportion and fit

• Grade patterns to create multiple sizes of a garment from a single design

There's no limit to what you can create. You can choose to work through the five modules of the Pattern Making Making and Garment Construction course, or specialise in womenswear, menswear, swimwear, bridalwear and more. We'll help take the mystery out of the garment construction process, while giving you free rein to let your imagination and design ideas shine through.
