Join my pattern making class and discover the key to creating custom-fit clothing that truly expresses your style. This essential class teaches you how to design a pattern block tailored specifically to your measurements, setting the stage for countless sewing projects. You'll learn 3 different methods on how to make paper patterns as well as how to digitize them for use with a projector.
Why This Class is a Must-Take:
- Perfect Fit Every Time: By designing your own patterns, you ensure a personalized fit that off-the-rack clothing can’t match.
- Endless Creativity: With your own patterns, you can customize every detail of your garments, from fit to fabric choices, turning your creative visions into reality.
- Cost-Effective: Save money by creating your own patterns rather than purchasing expensive ready-made ones.
- Skill Development: Mastering pattern making builds a strong foundation for more advanced sewing techniques, boosting your confidence and skill set.
- Sustainable Fashion: Make clothing that fits perfectly and lasts longer, reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable wardrobe.
Class Details:
- Prerequisite: None – This is the perfect starting point for all my classes.
- This class is taught on Google Meets.
Supplies Needed:
Measuring Tape: For taking accurate measurements of the garment and your body.
Design Doll: For draping and fitting the patterns as you work. (If you don't have one that's okay.)
Existing Garment to Clone: A well-fitting piece of clothing that you want to replicate in size.
Pattern Paper or Large Sheets of Thick Paper: For drawing on to make the pattern.
Ruler and French Curve: For drawing straight lines and curves accurately. (If you don't have a French curve that's okay.)
Pencil and Eraser: For marking and adjusting your pattern.
Scissors: For cutting paper patterns.
Pattern Weights: To secure the garment and paper while tracing.
Pins: To make marks in the paper.
**Additional Tips:**
- Choose a garment that fits well and is in good condition for the best results.
- Ensure your workspace is well-lit and has enough room to lay out the garment, paper, and design doll.
