Pattern Drawing Workshop Series 1.0 – Summer Edition

Always wanted to make your own designs a reality? Or do you have difficulty to get the right sizes in the shop or with pre-made patterns? Then this Summer workshop series is great for you! With this 4 day course you can learn to draw all basic patterns in your own size. After we made your own size pattern we will be working on a prototype and make the piece fitted to your body. With these basic patterns it is possible to make all designs in your own size. We will also teach you different basic pattern drafting techniques in this course (adding a waistband, pockets, changing a dart). It is best to have some basic sewing experience to follow these workshops.

We will discuss variations (like special sleeves and types of skirt/pants etc.) of the patterns and the details (like pockets and closures). It is possible to follow the second course after you did the first one.
