Inscription : Hack Your Patterns! / Create New Designs from an Existing Garment - Waiting List
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
