Beginners Pattern Cutting
​Short Course - Creative Pattern Cutting

This pattern cutting short course focuses on adapting patterns to your own ideas. 

You will learn exciting ways to develop your ideas through adapting block patterns using a range of pattern cutting processes such as dart manipulation, adding seam lines and creating/suppressing fullness. Working half scale with paper patterns and fabric you will learn the fundamentals of pattern manipulation. It will enable you to make design adjustments to existing patterns and use block patterns in an exciting and creative way to develop your own design ideas.

Although fashion design drawings are a good indicator for a final product, the technical aspects of pattern cutting have just as important influence in how a final garment looks and can be an equally creative process. 

This course is a great introduction to creative pattern drafting for complete beginners and it effectively compliments the block pattern course above. These two short courses can be completed either way round.

Following on from these two short courses (or the full pattern cutting for beginners course) you can progress on to the returners/intermediate  courses and workshops.
