Pattern Cutting (1 session)

If you are interested in fashion design and retail and want to learn pattern cutting and garment construction this introductory course will get you started. Learn how to translate your designs from patterns to a completed garment.

In the session you will learn to design and develop garment blocks or will learn basic pattern cutting techniques or learn some construction techniques – depending on your individual needs. In the full course, you have time to make your own garment.

You gain an insight into the specialist skills in pattern cutting and garment construction. This is a non-accredited course so there are no qualifications.

Some experience of fashion, garment construction and pattern cutting would be useful but not essential as you will work at your own pace and level.

Equipment needed for this course is available in our fashion workshops, but a basic sewing kit/tool box would be useful. Some students prefer to sew using their own sewing machine, which you can bring to the session if you wish.
