ONSITE: Introduction to Flat Pattern Making
This course will cover the fundamental skills of flat-pattern design. Flat pattern design is the process of using “blocks” or “slopers” to create sewing patterns for apparel design. This course will show students how to take body measurements for pattern making as well as introduce them to the two methods of dart manipulation. Students will use these methods on bodice, pant, skirt and dress slopers in order to create new and original designs.
Special Notes
- Students should have a basic knowledge of sewing/ garment construction.
