This course runs at St Margaret's campus each Monday from 9.30am - 12.30pm for 7 weeks, starting on 13th January and ending on 3rd March 2025. Expand your knowledge and skills with an advanced pattern-making course. Working through a range of techniques aligned to industry standards, you will have the opportunity to develop your pattern cutting skills further from design concept to final pattern. Using a standard UK size 12 block, learn how to manipulate darts, and create and add style features to a garment of your choice.
The course covers advanced pattern making terms and equipment as well as pattern development in a style that understands the relationship between 2D patterns and 3D garments. Develop and refine your pattern cutting equipment skills correctly and utilise more advanced templates to produce patterns. You will also recognise how to take measurements correctly, draft a basic block, practice lay planning, and discover how to assemble a garment.
