This one-off, six hour class is broken into two parts. Part one will cover design elements, body shapes and fabric selection. Part two will be using your/a block* to create a pattern and mock-up of your own design.

What you’ll achieve: gain an understanding of apparel design and designing for specific body shapes, what you need to consider when designing a garment, translating your design into a master pattern, tracing off and proving your pattern pieces, ready to cut and sew a mock-up and alter.

You’ll be provided with pattern making paper required for the class, mock-up fabric, paper scissors and long pattern rulers to use during the class.

Please bring with you;

• Tape measure

• Mechanical Pencil or Pencil and sharpener

• Eraser

• Standard size ruler

• Fabric scissors, if you have them

• An idea of what you would like to make

• *A block pattern to start your design from or you can use our standard size 10 women’s or size Medium men’s block

Go check out the products page if you would like to purchase a pattern making essentials toolkit, which includes most of the above and more.

Class sizes are kept to a minimum to ensure everyone has the chance to ask one-on-one questions and feels supported throughout the process.
