Begin your journey into pattern making your own clothes. In this course you will learn the basics of pattern making, learn how to make a skirt, pant and t shirt block which are the foundation stones for successful pattern drafting. This includes making and fitting a block and toile in your size. These blocks can then be used to develop patterns.

 We will cover some simple adaptations and techniques and show you how to read pattern drafting books to further your journey.
