Hack Your Patterns! / Create New Designs from an Existing Garment
Saturday, from 1pm to 4pm, from January 11th to February 8th with tauts. PLEASE NOTE : This course isn't conceived to teach you to make a full body adjustment of your patterns. "Ajustement de patron" (in French only) or private lessons are better suited for learning about full body adjustments :) |
Level : I have already made several garments using commercial patterns. I know how to sew details (darts, pleats, gathers) and finishes (hems, bias tape)... but I don't always like the available pattern designs.
Objectives : Create style variations from an existing garment. Copy a Garment. Make clothes to your taste!
Duration : 5 lessons / 3 hours per lesson / 1 lesson per week / total of 15 hours
Materials : You will have access to drafting paper, our tutorial, the documents useful for the class, the tools, one of our sewing machine and fabric for your muslin.
Price : $295 taxes included
Minimum 2 students / Maximum 4 students
This course is an introduction to the techniques that will allow you to add style elements to existing sewing patterns. This course is for those who wish to be able to develop variations on a basic pattern (such as a skirt, knit tunic, skirt or pants) through flat cutting techniques. The content of this course is a condensed and simplified version of the teachings given in Fashion Design programs, but tailored to the needs of our students who seek to explore the wonderful world of design for themselves, for the fun of it. Please note that if you are looking for a professional training or a diploma, this is not our mandate.
Course 1: Introduction to tools and exploration of different techniques on miniatures (organizing a plan, pivoting darts, creating a seam line).
Course 2: Exploration of different techniques on miniatures (princess seams, creating volume with godets, radial openings, creating pleats and gathers). Style research and selection of the model to be transformed in the last class (chosen from one of our basic patterns).
Course 3: Copy of a piece of an existing garment, checking pattern pieces accuracy.
Course 4: Cutting and sewing a mock-up muslin. Fitting.
Course 5: Pattern correction and style development.

Here are the main flat cutting techniques you will be learning during the course
(and some examples of the possibilities they offer you) Our pedagogical approach in this course will focus on understanding the basic techniques of flat cutting. We show you images to explain the possibilities, but will not be able to make the development plan for the 55 styles shown above for lack of time. By learning the techniques, you can easily repeat it on different garments once made at home thanks to your class notes :)
