If you’re a confident sewer ready to move beyond commercial patterns, this Patternmaking Essentials course will help you develop the skills to draft, fit, and refine garment patterns using your own measurements.
Designed as a practical introduction to patternmaking, you'll create skirt, bodice, and pant blocks that form the foundation of well-fitting garments. Working step by step, you'll learn how to draft patterns on paper, sew and assess toiles (prototype garments), and refine fit through careful adjustment and testing.
As your understanding grows, you'll discover how shaping, balance, and proportion influence garment fit. Your finished patterns will then be transferred onto durable cardboard blocks complete with seam allowances, hems, and construction markings, creating a personalised set of reusable templates you'll use again and again.
Combining technical skill-building with creative problem-solving, this course will help you become more confident, independent, and precise in your garment making. Small class sizes ensure plenty of individual guidance throughout the drafting and fitting process, helping you build practical patternmaking skills used across sewing, fashion, and garment design.
Course content
During the course, participants will be guided through key concepts, techniques and approaches that typically include:
Lesson 1: Drafting and fitting a skirt block
