Patternmaking 101
Event description
Pattern-making 101 with Celyna Ziolkowski
Wouldn't it be great to be able to make yourself a garment that fits your body shape perfectly? This session will show you how!
Saturday 27th November
10am - 4pm
$110 / $83
Learn the basics of patternmaking principles:
1. How to create an initial pattern block from your body measurements, and then
2. How to apply patternmaking skills to manipulate that block to create lots of other pattern styles.
In order to learn the basics, you’ll begin working on a skirt block, and then be shown how to manipulate the skirt block into other skirt styles. This basic foundation is the pathway to more complex patterns such as making pants or shirts.
Guys and gals are welcome to join in this workshop, and whether or not you have patternmaking experience, you'll leave this workshop with a wealth of patternmaking knowledge, plus a pattern made to your exact body shape.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
- Knowledge and experience in basic patternmaking skills
- Printed handouts covering the lesson plan and basic patternmaking principles

- A pattern block that fits your body measurements
WHAT TO BRING
