You might be wondering if this course, Pattern Cutting For Beginners, is for you? Have you drafted yourself a beautifully fitting basic block but have no idea what to do with it? Or maybe you’ve got to the point in your sewing journey that you feel ready to tackle the mysterious world of pattern drafting? Then this is the course for you!

I want you to be able to take your basic blocks and transform them into something completely new and beautiful.
You can easily learn to do this by focusing on mastering some key beginner pattern cutting techniques and getting to grips with some beginner pattern cutting theory.

By the end of this course you’ll know how to manipulate the darts and transform them into other types of shaping. You’ll also be able to confidently add extra volume to create frills, gathers and pleats. And you’ll be able to change the necklines, armholes and sleeves on your block. We don’t stop there though, you’ll also be able to create waistbands, cuffs, facings and pockets.

When you’ve completed this pattern cutting for beginners course you’ll be able to draft the pattern for 52 different designs and design details.
You’ll also have the confidence to go away and design your own garment and make the pattern yourself by putting what you’ve learnt here into practice. That blouse you’ve always dreamed of creating? Now is the time to get started!

It’s so important that you understand why we do certain things while drafting. Because of this the course covers some really important beginner pattern cutting theory about how our patterns relate to our body and how the relationship between our 2D pattern and our 3D garment works.
Each technique is broken down into modules that cover the theory and some examples. Once you’ve got to grips with the theory then we look at implementing that idea or concept into our pattern cutting by drafting of a range of designs showing different ways that we can put the theory to work.
