One very intensive week in which to learn and understand
the principles of pattern drafting. At the end of this
workshop you will be able to design and draft your own
patterns for a wide range of garments. You will draft all
the basic blocks for a skirt, bodice, dress, sleeve,
and collar. These blocks will become your
pattern library. From this library you will be able to cut
and create your own unique patterns. To benefit fully from
this workshop you have to be able to attend all five days.
There will also be an additional cost on this workshop for
specialist drafting equipment and textbooks - these can be
purchased in advance and information regarding this
equipment will be sent to you when you book. Strictly
limited to six students.
Material Costs: Paper and calico plus drafting equipment.
