Introduction to Pattern Drafting - 4 part course - September 7, 14, 21, 28 (11am-1pm)

In this technical workshop, you’ll be introduced to patternmaking through manipulation of a basic skirt block. You’ll learn how to work with measurements, use essential drafting tools, and transform a block into your own stylized skirt design.

This is a dense, technical workshop full of information. With only 4 spots in the class, you'll receive excellent attention and instruction.  If you're a sewist who's been wanting to learn pattern drafting but didn't know where to start, this is the perfect course for you!

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have:

• A skirt pattern drafted in an industry size 10

• An understanding of basic drafting tools and terminology

• Confidence to modify or create your own skirt designs

• Optional: a muslin or finished version of your skirt
