Learn some quick Pattern Making by hand skills.
Exploring your way around a basic bodice, you will learn simple yet creative pattern making skills that will allow you to add interest to a garment.
Students will work with quarter-scale basic patterns and utilize several techniques to enhance that part of a garment. We will begin at the neckline and end with sleeves. Skills include adding flare, changing the shape, working with asymmetry, adding a collar, adjusting a sleeve, etc. You will slash, spread, tape, and create; and realize it doesn’t take much to add your unique touch to a pattern.
In advance of the workshop, students will be emailed several files to print out. This will include 1/4 scale pattern blocks and a handout of designs we will create in class.
